Hiding referral codes in the URL?

Javascript mouseovers should improve your clickthrus. Like Lemmy said, a clean javascript mouseover is "less blind" then a long referral code, especially if the domain goes to the sponsor before the actual paysite.

For guys that want to rip the ref code off the link, you can link to a sponsor through a redirecting page. Since I admit sometimes I rip ref codes from links myself, I know if a link links to a paysite using "http://clickthrudomain[dot]com/blowjobbiatches/ will prevent people from ripping the ref code...because the ref code isn't even there.

It's a pain in the ass to actually type in the domain name in the browser, so I only see a small percentage of surfers actually doing that.
