Hm. I wonder how Amazon/other affiliates see this? I mean, it's obviously different from, but reminds me of, those malware operators/dodgy ISP's injecting their own referral id into links.
Is there any precedent of sites with user submitted content doing it on their own sites?

What the companies running the referral programs think of these services is unknown. I can't imagine they like it...

- lowglow 13y agoThis was how pinterest was making money at one point IIRC -- they stopped after people started turning on the idea.
- stp-ip 13y agoAmazon actively shutsdown projects, which automaticly replace affiliate links. Most still running projects are just too small to be noticed yet.
