A couple weeks ago, I was adding some free hosted galleries for my site so I can better track how my own traffic is doing, etc... here's something that struck me as odd regarding how they have the hosted galleries set up.
If a surfer visits the hosted gallery via my own affiliate link such as:
http://www.pornaddict.com/fhg/009va/...646,2,2178,193
you'll notice everything operates the way it should. You can look at the pictures and click through to the paysite tour.
However, if the affiliate code is cut off and only the gallery url remains, such as:
http://www.pornaddict.com/fhg/009va/ then the surfer can no longer click through to the paysite tour... because it keeps sending them back to the gallery.
I contacted one of their support techs a couple weeks ago about this and he said he would look into it, but nothing has been done yet. It might not be a big deal, but it seems like a simple enough thing to want to fix.
Being as though I currently have no affiliates and am just beta testing my own site I like the ability to post gallery links without the affiliate code, too... it makes the links look less spammy when hitting up surfer forums.
