If you use Wordpress for your affiliate site - get AFLinker affiliate link cloaker plugin.
It's free and it not only let you cloak affiliate links, it also:
- Offer extra layer of immunity from potential "search engine slap"
- Allows you to create your own URL shortener from your website.
- Helps you to automatically create "short" cloaked affiliate links around keywords and keyphrases of your choice. So essentially you dont need to do it yourself.
- Integrates with Google analytics for tracking purposes.
- Allows you to track every visitor click on every AFLinker-created link on every page of your site via Google analytics.

personally i use a redirect file.

i'll create a file in the root folder of my website ie (download-product.php)
and put in the contents of
Code:

<? header("Location: <affiliate link goes here>"); ?>
When i link to the file, i also use no follow so the bots don't follow it as well (there has been rumors of google marking down websites with affiliate links).

What's good about this method - is the file will show up in your website log files (like webalizer or awstats) so you can see how many clicks you have had as well.

  This will cloak your link or use it to shorten links and it will also track the number of clicks on the links that you create with it.
  
  It runs on your webserver so there is an installation. But it comes with a 23 page PDF which contains full instructions as well as screen shots of the entire process.
  
  You can use it to create links like:
  yourdomainname.com/likes/MyBestAffiliateProgram
  
  yourdomainname.com/recommends/HowToLearnHTML
  
  and a couple of others.
