Comments on: Hiding Links With PHP and Counting Clicks with MySQL http://studge.com/hiding-links-with-php-and-counting-clicks-with-mysql/ Sun, 31 Jan 2010 10:29:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Studge http://studge.com/hiding-links-with-php-and-counting-clicks-with-mysql/comment-page-1/#comment-36247 Studge Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:47:13 +0000 http://studge.com/hiding-links-with-php-and-counting-clicks-with-mysql/#comment-36247 I think I understand what you are saying here. When the affiliate link is followed, it should set a cookie that shows my affiliate code has brought this user to their site - the cookie lasts a set amount of time and any purchases made during this period would yield me a percentage (this is just an example of a typical affiliate system). After the link is already followed, it doesn't really matter what the user puts in the address bar since the cookie has been set. I think I understand what you are saying here.

If the user wants to remove this all he really needs to do is remove the affid=12345 in the url and hit enter. If i'm mistaken can someone please set me straight.

I'd like to use the script to power a number of "Like" buttons on our pages, but I don't want people to be able to artificially drive up the scores.

Especially if you you use a Wordpressinstallation combined with the widget solving this. Hey, thank you, but in the meantime it could be solved easier, isn´t it?
