Affiliate link coaking plugin

[jlknauff]

I've tried a few plugins for WP to cloak affiliate links and the ones I've used seem to be missing some features, Since I'm teaching myself php, I'm thinking about writing my own. I just wanted to see if there is already something free out there that does everything before I spend a lot of time going down this path.

Thoughts?

What are needing? Are you merely wanting to cloak the link appearance or cloak the referral?

To cloak for appearance sake use a header redirect with php. You can use $_GET function to grab a variable from the url and redirect to the aff link.

If you want to cloak a referral use this technique. http://www.wickedfire.com/design-development-programming/76587-howto-cloak-fake-your-referrer.html

Somehow I was hoping this would be a rap about how....
