Is this linking style ok with LL owners / reviewers?

alt · 2004-06-09, 02:53 AM

I have developed some php tracking scripts to keep track of out going links from my web site. This way I can easily track my various marketing techniques (or lack of) through CTR. Using my script, sponsor or any out going links go from looking like this:
http://www.sponsor-host.com/site/affCode=213

to this:
http://www.my-domain.com/link.php?goto=somesite

where somesite is the name of the site the surfer will end up at. So if the link is going to the Jordan Carpi site, it will look like:
http://www.my-domain/link.php?goto=jordan_capri (non-working example)

My question is this ok with you folks, or would you consider this misleading, or (semi)blind?

TIA.

For sponsor links this is no problem, lots of people do it but I don't think LL owners would appreciate it if you did that to their recip links. But maybe I'm wrong here

That should be fine for sponsor links/ads.

Ditto on what Greenguy said.

Just don't do with our recips.

Cool, thanks for the info. I've been working on my own little stat package, and didn't want to find out later I couldn't use it!
