Yes, the RSS feed links work NOW, but only sort of - they did NOT make any attempt at carrying the aff ID in prior testing. One wouldn't need to use bloglines to see that. BUT all posts listed in the RSS feeds link directly to the paysite tour, not the associated blog post.

Going to this feed now, you can hover over any title there and clearly see the AFF ID in the URL string.

Also, why aren't affiliate IDs transfered from blog to blog within your blog network (listed in the 'Our Friends' blogroll)? And you must realize that the list of blog directories is a list of traffic leaks on what are supposed to be sites for affiliates to push traffic.

I like your programs, but your feeds and blogs are an excellent example as to why I don't use sponsor RSS feeds and tend not to link to such blogs. They are often riddled with issues.
