Great forum, lot's of good information here.
I am trying to decide whether or not to route all of the affiliate links on my site through my domain for tracking, etc. I don't have much (ok any, lol) experience with affiliate marketing, and I know that some of the affiliate programs say that you can't redirect links, but I'm thinking they might mean something else (something shady). I just mean having a redirect script on my site to track when a visitor clicks an affiliate link. Is this a good idea, or are there reasons to not do this? Also if it IS a good thing to do, is a simple PHP head()-style redirect ok? Thanks in advance.
