Cloak affiliate links with URL-shorteners?

[John Chase]

Hi Guys

I'm building a small network of web 2.0 properties/blogs. Aside from linking to my money site, I want to promote the same product on all of those blogs.

I think google would find it suspect to have the same affiliate link on all of those sites + linking to the same money site, so I was thinking of using different URL-shortener sites like bit.ly, tinyurl.com, tiny.cc, scut.ly, etc.

And of course I will use nofollow for all the affiliate links. Question is, will google follow all these links and see that they all point to the same affiliate link? And, how bad would that be? What do you guys think of this?

Best regards, John

Any info about how to do this would be awesome!

Thanks
