Do you hide affiliate tags from the status bar of the browser?

**Rob472** · 10-24-2007 11:32 AM

I hide them but I don't use javascript to hide them from the status bar. Most people don't even know what an affiliate link is so if your not in the internet marketing niche then there really isn't any reason to hide them.

Mine are hidden not for the purpose of hiding them but for tracking clicks, blocking the links from search engines, and the ease of updating my links site wide from one place. They are all stored in a database.

The only reason I rather hide affiliate links is that visitors maybe wonder about the strange URL in the status bar.

I hide them the same way Rob does without using javascript, although I do it to track the clicks and to hide the ugly affiliate codes.

Perhaps an offshoot of this thread would then be, how to hide affiliate links, and the different ways to do so?

Yes generally, the same was as Rob, not always though, sometimes I'm lazy and just nofollow

Frankly, I don't hide affiliate links. It works well during my affiliate promotion.

I always found it best to hide them personally. I use the same script each time as well. I shared the code here on the blog if anyone is looking for it.

There's no code to see unfortunately.

Please post the code in the forum Greg.
