You would use CSS regardless if it’s in jQuery or not, not sure why you would use jQuery to begin with, but anyways, here is an example:

 <a href="#">Move me Left</a>

 <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    $("a").hover(function(){ $(this).css('margin-left','-50px') });
 </script>

The margin-left is set to -50px here (minus to go backwords), but can be changed according to your liking.

Otherwise in CSS all you would need to do is:

 a:hover { margin-left: -50px; }

See how much easier that is in CSS?
