Other thing is that you can avoid broken links in case that affiliate links dead. Further, we can easily to make it deindexed by Google, Yahoo or Bing by adding a tag in robots.txt Thanks @Bryan: You are right as cloaking affiliate link is not a bad thing but it show that the owner really care about what s/he is promoting.

Hiding links is very important. 2 reasons. 1. It is easier on when you manage your own web. In my case, when Thesis changed its affiliate program, it was very easy for me to update my links 2. For some reason, people tend to shy away from affiliate links. There seems tobe this notion, that they don't want you making money off a recommendation. Personally, I tend to avoid uncloaked links just because they look messy. To me it says, the web manager is lazy (and maybe doesnt' really know anything about the product/service they are recommending) I agree with Tinh on this one. Hiding links is very important.

If you join about 50 affiliate networks, using this method would save you a lot of time. Further, hiding affiliate link will help you easily update original link when they changed affiliate link structure. P/S: Registering through mine or SML affiliate link does not cause you pay more right? Sometimes, using friend's affiliate link can save you a lot of money like DreamHost or HostGator :-) @Techsexy: I do not agree with you that hiding affiliate link is a bad thing :-) Frankly, hiding affiliate link is good as you can remember your affiliate links easily.
