I just wanted to see how many clicks that would have, but you're right. Just removed the link since I just don't care. ;)

You might be able to do a quick happy medium by generating a "vanity url" such as bit.ly/sneaky-affiliate-link or something.

Or perhaps a sneaky bit of javascript to track click events on that link via ajax.
