If you use Amazon.com affiliate links, you could just use this instead, which makes a tiny url (tinyurl) link which includes your amazon affiliate id in it.

Great..I’ve been doing this for years…

The only issue I see with this is:

A lot of the aff URLs that redirect people to the merchant’s site will put your aff id in the url after they’ve been redirected…It’ll come out looking something like

http://www.merchangtxyz.com/affid=282378

and the clickER will see that and sometimes, and to this day, I don’t know why, rip off the end affid part (I’ve always been unsure whether they’ve been cookied). Either to get their own commission or relieve you of yours.

Not sure how wide spread this is though…

Thanks for the tutorial..
