Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey William,

By "looks better", I have been taught that when people (especially marketers) hover over a link, they check out where it takes them by looking at the bottom left of the browser before clicking it.

The redirect makes the URL more friendly to click.

Hey everybody,

I like to use php redirects for affiliate links so they look better.  I keep them all in the same directory.  I read recently that these may hurt SEO.

A couple quick questions:

Is this the best way to redirect affiliate links?

Should I simply block the directory in robots.txt?

Any other suggestions from you SEO guyses and galz?

Thanks!

Jared
