Make more money by making sure your links are valid html

To be clear.

Tags are something used in blog posts.

What we're talking about here is encoding character entity references and the things on the page you posted are called entities and not tags.

Too much confusion about things already. Best we call things by their real names.

Didn't Toby mention a couple months back that you shouldn't change the & to & in CCBill links since it'll muck up something at their end?

The very first site I built I used Front Page and it automatically changed all "&'s" to &. I was told not to use Front Page and hand code everything, which I did. I was told that changing the & to & was only if you wanted the & to actually show up on a page. I have a LOT of affilitate links, not just to CCBill, that just have the & in the affiliate code.

Shouldn't ALL affiliate codes that have & in them be left as & and NOT be changed to &?
