There's software you can use to hide your affiliate link or you can setup a meta refresh redirect. For example, let's say my affiliate link is
http://www.affiliate-link.com/1234 I could create a dirctory on my domain called "money" and on the index.html setup a meta refresh to go to the affiliate link.

So the link I display on my site is http://www.my-domain.com/money but it goes to http://www.affiliate-link.com/1234

That's one way of doing it but you can also buy cloaking software as well. I use the above method not because I want to hide my links but it's so much easier to maintain your affiliate links.

Let's say you want to change your affiliate link to a different page on the merchant's site, rather than having to update all the links on your pages you can simply update that one file.
