After doing a search for link cloaking I've found a couple of different methods.
I've decided to opt for something like this:
1. A User Visits my page and decides to click an affiliate link
2. Using a target="blank" A pop window comes up directing them to mydomain/exampleproduct
3. Using a meta redirect from mydomain/exampleproduct they are forwarded to the affiliate product page.
My question is, should I include a rel="nofollow" in step 3? and how would I go about including that into a meta tag:
<META
HTTP-**zero**="Refresh"
CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.someproduct/affiliatelinkID.php">
