    I have installed Pretty Links on my Wordpress sites which allows shortened URLs. So my links are now like htp://somedomain.com/AffiliateOfferName/

    URL masking also known as Stealth Redirection/cloak. With this process you can hide your original url from your visitors
    Honesty is the best policy. If you can lead a honest life must you will be rewarded any of time in future for sure

    Masking makes external links look like internal page, that allows you to show up affiliate links as your site content when they put their mouse of the link.

    I don't mask url but use WP-NoExternalLinks to set nofollow and noindex for external links!

    What do you recommend to use it for? Advantages and disadvantages?
    well well well yes it has several kinds of advantages and disadvantages ...

    advantages .. if you are getting it from sites like twitter and all and uses it on natural linking than it could helps to you as backlink, referal marketing and also for pr improvement ..

    disadvantage .. a slap from penguin if you tries to fool google ...
