If you hide things you could be dropped from search engines. My affiliate links are clearly visible to both the visitor and to the search engines. If you have good credible content in addition to the affiliate links you will probably not have a problem.

In addition, if don't want to deter your visitors, why you would use affilate links that are exactly doing this?

If you're using ClickBank it may be advisable that you do in some way.
There's a bunch of malware out there that's specifically designed to redirect end-users and change the hop-link to the malware owner.

Found a video about it on another forum... I'll post it up if people want (not wanting to seem spammy so early in).

There are other Aff Marketing groups out there that don't rely on hoplinks anyway, but rather just forward the DNS, or load it all in an i-frame, so the customers only ever see your URL.
Got some info on that too.

The info on the program I've got that doesn't require hop linking?
Or the video?

The video is here, for those interested: http:// www[dot]keywordthinktank.com/public/adware/clickbank_adware.html
There was also an article in my local paper a while back:
