Zoho Affiliate Program - Affiliate URL

Zoho Affiliate Program - Affiliate URL

I am loving the new affiliate program for Zoho products. However, I am not loving the URL so much.

I work in the Web industry and many of my site visitors are savvy enough to know that the URL below is a referral URL and that I will be getting paid for their clickthrough/sign-up.

https://affiliate.zoho.com/affiliate/ZA6313-XXX

If I use a link shortening service that redirects to this URL, such as bit.ly , will it still count towards my earnings? I just think this is much more discreet.

I want to promote Zoho, but I don't necessarily want others to know that I am doing it for something in return. I want my visitors to trust my opinion on the product.

Thanks!
