I just found a nifty HTML generator to hide affiliate links.
The only drawback is that on rightclick, the affiliate URL still appears.

Paypal in Romania
This is already old news, beeing first reported in Seopedia, two days ago. PayPal is now fully accepting Romania, with sending and receiving capabilities, merchant account included.
That means every Romanian citizen can now accept website payments (through PayPal funds, or through Credit Card payments) and can withdraw the money to a Romanian debit or credit card (not a bank account).
Read more in SeoPedia (the largest Romanian SEM community), again, the first source in Romania who unrevealed this braking news.
PayPal for Romania: Now available, send only
PayPal now allows users from Romania to register an send only account (Personal / Premiere / Business). That means you can only send money trough Paypal, with funds fueled from a Credit Card.
If you want to receive money (or to have any other type of Paypal merchant services) you will have to wait.
Via Sandossu (with an additional check by me, just to be sure).
Update: The official PayPal Press Release about the expansion to 190 markets worldwide. From it, we learn that PayPal currently has 143 million accounts globally. In the first quarter of 2007, PayPal’s total payment volume was over $11 billion. So we can estimate an aproximate total of $45 billion sales for 2007.
Update 2: Everyone can see what are the services supported for his country, in this very easy to use interface.
Web directories with an affiliate program
OK. I have Webxperience! (Alexa Rank 21.717, Pagerank 5, 20 months old domain) and Webotopia (Alexa Rank 57.880, PageRank 6, 7 months old domain), which are two great directories, which were initially 100% free. Now they are both paid only.
