All programs place a statement in their Terms and Conditions (to protect themselves) that if the link is incorrectly copied or is modified, they are not responsible for the tracking.
I have absolutely no problem with that. If some affiliate mistakenly screws up their tracking code, sucks to be them! :tongue:
I merely want the visitor to click a “friendly” URL (a page on my site which records the click and then forwards them) as opposed to having them click an “ugly” URL and me having no way of knowing if it was clicked.

I can code a custom tracking program for you if you would like. Let me know what your budget is and your requirements and I’m sure we can work something out.
If your looking for something free then I would go with openads but like kwblue said, the interface is complicated. It also creates the ugly url’s that you dont want.
Thank you for the offer, but I have a custom tracking system that I created already in place. My only concern is that it might be considered a violation of the T&C’s even though the end result is the same as having used the raw affiliate code.
I suppose I could just ask the affiliate managers if this sort of customization violates their T&C’s. I’ll get around to that after I finish giving my site a facelift.
