Linking in

Your linkin code is a simple (leters + numbers only) word that identifies your site to ours when your users link over to us. Using the correct linkin code is essential for accumulating referral fees.

For instance, if you run qDate.com, we might give you a code like qdate. Let's imagine that the user with the handle bob22 is looking at Jane89's profile, and clicks on a Buy My Affection link.

You would then send Bob to:

http://www.buymyaffection.com/thanks/Jane89/from/bob22/via/qdate

... this will also work, and is easier to build if there is a risk of URL-unsafe characters:

http://www.buymyaffection.com/linkin.html?to=jane89&from=bob22bob&via=qdate

Inbound URL's should be escaped according to the HTTP RFC, using functions like PHP's urlencode. So, if Bob's screen name is "Bob's your uncle", the URL would be:

http://www.buymyaffection.com/linkin.html?to=jane89&from=Bob%27s+your+uncle&via=qdate
