The simplest way to hide your affiliate links is using a javascript redirect page.

This is where you hide your affiliate link in a page on your site using a simple javascript that redirects people to your affiliate link.

This way your "naked" affiliate link is not exposed in your actual email messages and ezine ads, but, once people get redirected to true affiliate link.

One possible drawback of this method is that some affiliate programs, like clickbank for example, expose affiliate link along with your ID in browser address bar.

So if viewer is eagle-eyed he will notice that hes been redirected through and affiliate link.

A safer method to hide your affiliate links is using a zero-frame or "invisible" frame that masks affiliate link by making it appear you are sending people to a page on your website. In reality, you are actually sending them to your affiliate link.

This technique is also used by many domain redirection service sites.

Unfortunately is user views source of page. He know whats that youve loaded an affiliate link.

The solution is to use javascript encryption to scramble up page code.

Even though there isn't a 100% perfect solution to this problem, if you want to get paid more often through your affiliate links, make sure it's not obvious you're referring people to an affiliate link.

If they can't see that its a affiliate link, lower possibility of you getting stiffed of your commission.

There is that fallacy that money is so easy to make on web.

It is ... with some experience and know-how in marketing a product or service on internet.

Then of course there is that learning curve: Money that you will most likely spend unwisely gaining that necessary experience. This is where affiliate programs come in. Run by successful webmasters, these programs are resourceful and easy to duplicate.

You get products to sell and an effective method in marketing them. You don't have to worry about product delivery and customer issues.

All of that is taken care of for you.

If you run into a problem answer is only an email away. You communicate with someone who is successful and has already reached where you want to be. Perhaps an opportunity to get a mentor?

There is a common element that most successful people seem to have: They Follow One Course Until Successful.
