Affiliate links - To hide or not?

Affiliate links

OBSERVE: This blog post has been moved from the blog motivational articles to this new entrepreneur blog.

This subject has been discussed on a couple of other blogs and I thought it would be nice to take on this discussion here too.

It is about affiliate links and if you as the blog owner should show that your are getting paid to link to that certain site. Many bloggers are adding an (aff.) after an affiliate link (aff. meaning affiliate), personally I do not think this is a good solution, it only looks strange and as John Chow wrote, it destroys the flow of the article.

How much should a blogger need to disclose to his users? When you go to a business blog that writes about making money online do you not expect to run in to some advertisement?
