How to hide affiliate links in the status bar message.

Dealing with affiliate links can be very rewarding to you and yet at times can also make also make your affiliate world staggered. In my previous post, I made mention on how to deal with affiliate links using the anchor text assuming psychologically the readers will never check the actual link. By using a javascript, you can actually hide links in the status bar. Add the following script in the <head> section of your page:

<script>
//Hide status bar msg script- by javascriptkit.com
//Visit JavaScript Kit (http://javascriptkit.com) for script
//Credit must stay intact for use
//configure status message to show var statusmsg="" function hidestatus(){ window.status=statusmsg return true }
</script>

On every affiliate link you wish to hide add this mouseover code:

<a href="http://www.affiliatecrunch.com" onMouseover="return hidestatus()">Affiliate Crunch Recommends</a>

Try to move your mouse over this link: Recommends The above-mentioned script will only disable selected links, if you are lazy and you want to disable the status bar, you can use this version 2 of the script, simply add the following to the <head> section of your page :

<script>
//Hide status bar msg II script- by javascriptkit.com
//Visit JavaScript Kit (http://javascriptkit.com) for script
//Credit must stay intact for use function hidestatus(){ window.status='' return true } if (document.layers) document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEOVER | Event.MOUSEOUT) document.onmouseover=hidestatus document.onmouseout=hidestatus
</script>

There you are, you will not see any affiliate links on your status bar once the script is installed.
