Javascript Re-Direct

The function is same as META refresh redirect,Just create a webpage on your website and name it something simple like abc.html. When your targeted visitor click on the URL (http://www.yourweb.com/abc.html) they will be re-directed to another webpage or website that you designate. This is especially useful for promoting an affiliate link.

It work at most web page,and It work well in blogger too,Just copy the code below in to the "Page Element"and it will redirect your visitor to the URL that you wish to.

Copy this script below the "head" section:

<head>
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"

</script>
</head>

Personally I think both META refresh redirect and Javascript Re-Direct are very simple way to cloak the affiliate link but it not good for Blogger .Just use URL Shortening Service to cloak the affiliate link.

Description of attributes for Link Cloaking

What is the meaning of the terms use like,Direct Redirect?Path Forwarding?etc..

Description of attributes Link Cloaking:

Default Length - Based on an evaluation of the algorithm and/or an experimental sampling of test cases. Selecting a private option or selecting your own nickname may make the URL longer or shorter, depending on the site.

Expiration - How soon will the short URL expire and no longer link to your long URL? If a service expires their short URLs, they can be re-used by other people to send folks to other long URLs. If a service is listed as "Never" expiring, this is not a promise that your short URL will last forever, but just an indication that it looks like the service maintainers do not purposefully expire URLs..
Private - By default, are the short URLs created private (only available to the site administrators and not the general public)? If not, then your shortened URLs are posted on a public page, or anybody can easily guess them.
Direct Redirect - Is the browser sent directly to your long URL? "No" means that a transition page is shown to the user with the service's branding.
Statistics - Does the service provide statistics for you to see how many times users have clicked your short URL?
Editing - Can you change the long URL associated with a specific short URL you created?
Batch - Is there an easy interface for creating short URLs for a list of long URLs without doing them individually one at a time?
Subdomain - Can the resulting short URL be an entire subdomain name with no path? For example, does it support http://nickname.domain.com in addition to http://domain.com/nickname ?
Path Forwarding - Can you append paths to the short URL prefix and have these appended to the long URL? For example, if http://myname.notlong.com redirects to http://longurl.com/users/~mylonguser, then http://myname.notlong.com/apath redirects to http://longurl.com/users/~mylonguser/apath
Handles Short - Can you generate a new URL even though the resulting URL is longer than the original? This can be handy when you want to standardize your URLs or get statistics on clickthroughs.
Non-deterministic - Does it generate new, unique short URLs even when you enter the same original URL multiple times? This is good if you don't want somebody else to find out if a URL has already been made short. This is also important if you want statistics on clicks for a short URL you distribute.
URL Checking - Does the web site check the URL you enter to make sure it is in a valid format and that it returns a valid page?
Perl API - Is there a Perl module which allows you to generate shorter URLs using this service? Known APIs are available on CPAN in Iain Truskett's WWW::Shorten package.
IRC bot - Is there a bot on IRC that can automatically generate shorter URLs using this service?
BBS/Forum - Does the service provide a message posting system where the community can discuss issues related to URL shortening?
Languages: - In what languages is the service available?

Depending on your use, other factors to consider might include:

Reliability - Will the service be up when your users are clicking on your short URLs?
Performance - How many concurrent users can be clicking on short URLs and still get redirected quickly to your target?
Longevity - How long will the service remember your URL? How long will the service be in business?
