Default Hide url in listings discription

Hi all
I have a question from a client who is prepare to list several paid featured posts on our site. He is an affiliate marketer and he wants the URL link hidden in the description details as a link to his target site like this ( link-here..!)
Now is this possible and how is it done?

I too am confused by this post. Also the link provided doesn't seem to add enlightenment to the post.

I think what he is saying is that he doesnt want to actually hid the URL, just give the URL a name so the viewer sees text instead of the actual URL.

Default thanks larry ..thats right..1

Sorry I didn�t make myself clear that�s exactly what I meant..!
Affiliates marketers don�t want the URL to show as an affiliate URL. On the ad
If they can hide the destination url this will encourage lots of marketers placing ads on the site..

If I understand correctly just allow the <a> tag in the advert "body" from the control panel and let them put regular html links in. They can then call their links what they want as they would in any html page.

No problem Sam, except the hurricane which hit in SW France. No electricity, no water, no telephone for 5 days - only wifi in mcdonalds works.
