Various Services to Link Anonymously or Hide HTTP Referrers

If you have a website, blog or any webpage, there would be a certain situation when you need to link anonymously or hide hyper text link known as HTTP link. This is required when you want to link to any low quality site, affiliate, or even i||ega| sites without telling search engines. Yes, you guessed right nofollow or external attribution will not work here.  And also you don't want the content owner to whom you are linking. He will feel that visitors are direct or returning type :)


There are various technologies which are used to perform this task,  URL redirection simply doesn't work. It mainly incorporates Proxy, Meta Refresh, Javascript Location Replace, iFrame Parent Post and Flash getURL Function (Flash Action Script = VB script) etc. Let me stop some bak bak for now.

So today we are going to check some popular services which Hide HTTP referrals and Provide you a new link.
