Even though it's not linked directly -- it's still an affiliate link. He's using http://skimlinks.com/ http://skimlinks.com/
The link to the site has no affiliate code, but the on_click event is hijacked -- when I click it I am redirected to:
https://scripts.affiliatefuture.com/afncsecureclick.aspx?merchantID=282&cguid=5724c1fa-361d-41ea-9c6f-98f1588b84ce&url=http://pfa.levexis.com/virginatlantic/tman.cgi/tmad%3Dc%26tmcampid%3D28%26tmplaceref%3D125272-1122%26tmloc%3Dhttp://www.virgin-atlantic.com/ https://scripts.affiliatefuture.com/afncsecureclick.aspx?mer...
- petercooper 16y agoWhoa. You're right. And there are no affiliate links. So, just to nail this down, is the guy a liar or doesn't he realize what's going on?
- achille 16y agoThe commenter above just didn't realize it; the submitter never denied he's using affiliates.
- petercooper 16y agoMy quote was from the actual article. See http://skitch.com/petercooper/d89h2/noaff http://skitch.com/petercooper/d89h2/noaff in case it gets changed. The guy who wrote the post said "there are no affiliate links" yet, as you point out, we certainly get redirected through something that looks like an affiliate scheme when clicking on the links there.
