DANNY C'S WEEKLY TIP: LINKING TO CODED URLS FROM TRADING SCRIPTS

A frequent problem with traffic trade scripts is that the documentation doesn't cover linking to coded urls, or webmasters simply are not reading the FAQ's. So webmasters often become surprised that their linking codes to tours or to hosted galleries do not work. Either they are broken links, or even worse, the links work, but the webmaster receives no credit for the sales earned, due to an affiliate id being stripped.

Why does this occur? Because traffic trading scripts require you to link through the script, which then determines the url to send each click to based on the variables you set in the url code. The link would be in a format similar to this:

http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/out.cgi?gal=80&galurl=http://www.gallery.com/gallery.html

The gal variable (gal=80) tells the script to send 80 percent of hits to the gallery, and the other 20% to a trade. The galurl variable tells the script what the url of the gallery is. Note that the two variables are separated by the character "&". Therein lies the problem, as many sponsors use the exact same character to separate variables in their linking codes. If you insert a url containing "&" characters, your trade script will assume that the separator is meant for itself, and will not send to the correct url. In simpler terms, you are confusing your script.

Luckily, the fix is not difficult. Simply change all instances of "&" in the hosted gallery linking code to "%26". This way, your program will not become confused, and "%26" will be converted automatically to "&" in the url you're sending hits to.
