Any way to prettify those horrid-looking Aweber links for tracking?

Is there any way around the thousand-character links in Aweber that show up in the text-only emails when you track the click through rates? They are ugg-LEEE.

I send my emails using both HTML and text versions, which I understand is the recommended way of doing it, but some of my customers only get the text version, resulting in those nasty long links. They sure have spammy appearance and I'd love to know a way around them. Thanks for any help.

    Set up a redirect. Create a page on your own website, yourdomain dot com / nicelookingpagename and set up a redirect script that automatically sends them to the affiliate link. this will change the link on the page but will still look like a long spammy link when you arrive at the page

    Alternatively you could iframe your page, same as before but when the visitor arrives at the page it will be a page on your own domain.

    If you're really lazy/don't know how to set up a redirect, bit.ly links work fine as well. They just look a little bit less professional (but, people are more used to clicking on them so you might find they work better, depending on your market).
