I use
get-shorty to hide my affiliate link.
Get-shorty is a script that you installed in your server. There is a control panel for you to set up short url.
Unlike tinyurl, the shorten url is pointing to a page in your site. Example,
Instead of
www . yourdomain .com/?afgagcvagre -> www . tinyurl .com/4579
Get-shorty allow
www . yourdomain .com/?gserkjfkj -> www . yourdomain .com/short
People feel more comfortable clicking the affiliate link when they know that it is linked to somewhere in your site.
I have tried tinyurl and get-shorty and I find that get-shorty has a better clickthrough rate than tinyurl.
