Hi Guy

I notice most of the web hosting reviews site mask the links nicely, when you mouse over the thumbnail or the link text the status bar show

http://www.domain.com/webhosting.php?id=ixwebhosting

and when u click on it, it open up below link

http://www.ixwebhosting.com/index.ph...discountedlink

How that can be done?

I am using CJ network for my coming webhosting review site, but i notice the link created from CJ is kind of long and with those funny character. Any idea how i can mask that?

Thank you in advantage

Simon

    (FIRST URL)

    (SECOND URL)

    If you're using WordPress, you can install and configure a plugin called "GoCodes" that lets you set up a redirect from the first URL above to the second. Otherwise, you can set up redirects yourself on the web server from one URL to another. You could also use a public URL shortening service that allows you to specify the shortname, such as Metamark.
