One way of promoting your affiliate product is by giving them a short review on the usability, effectiveness of a product and your personal thought and reflection about it. Review attracts prospective buyers to go through it in order to gain more information about a product before deciding to buy it or not.
A well written review might not be enough to convince your potential buyers if they notice your affiliate id in the product's link. For the sake of clarity, let's take a look at the following
example (try to hover at both links and see what appear at status bar):
1. Product 1 review
2. Product 1 review
Both links are pointing to the same page but the second link will do better work in convincing your potential buyers to buy the product as compared to the first link as it does not display your affiliate id.
In order to hide the affiliate link, we are going to put the following code between and inside your index.htm or index.html and set the URL to the product's page.
<script language="javascript">
window.location="http://www.ProductPage.com/YourAffiliateId";
</script>This will somehow increase the credibility of the review and should increase your affiliate sales.

If I may add to this article…
There are also affiliate programs that allow you to embed their code into your own page. The result is their page being viewed within your own page.
So instead of yourpage.com/sales/index.html having a link to your online store located at storez34.ul.one-stop.shop.net/affiliate-1902.html, you can now embed the entire affiliate page within your page.
This is great because it allows you to custom build static pages designed purposely for SEO’ing the affiliate products being sold. Meta tags are still very important. But ultimately, it really doesn’t matter what the URL is… if there are tons of link backs to it, Google will eventually see that and then next thing you know… boom, you got traffic.
I design to focus on SEO, if a search engine can’t find your page, then it doesn’t matter if you invested a million to make the page look good, no one will see it.

I guess it’s like wrapper in Joomla CMS where we can browse the entire of other website inside our own website and that’s cool idea. Thanks for the heads up :)
