Can I hide the URLs of links in my directory. I don't want users to see that some of the links are affiliate links or I don't want people stealing the links inside my categories.
Answer:
Yes you can. Go to the Control Panel. Then click the ‘Settings’ tab. Click on the ‘Global Engine Settings’ link. Look for a setting that reads ‘Hide URLs when displaying link listings:’ – Choose ‘Yes’.
This will give all URLs in your directory a URL address like: http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/go.cgi?id=232
Setting the above mentioned setting to 'No' will cause links to display their real URLs in the status bar of the browser and the URLs will be available within the source of pages.
Note that clicks or hits to links won't be counted if you turn off the 'hide URLs' feature.
