<b>Is it better or worse for affiliate links to be encrypted or hidden tracking code for SEO purposes?</b>
<p> <i>With Commission Junction, Shareasale and I think,</i> they always ask if you want the encrypted link and / or hidden before you get your HTML code. I believe I read Google frowns on one or both of these methods, but not I remember exactly? Anyone have experience, knowledge and thoughts on this? </p>
<p> The correct way to handle affiliate links is that they do not show the affiliate code in the link. Doing <html> so will result in less of a click through rate that will result in a loss of potential income. The code following example is a method to hide the affiliate links event.returnValue = false &quot;href = http://www.SITENAME.com/URL/ rel =&quot; nofollow &quot;&gt; anchor text must also be &quot;nofollow&quot; on that link will not pass any PR to the affiliate site. What is nofollow? Http: / / www.contemedia.com/blog/what-is-nofollow/ Good luck Chadwick </html></p>
