 |
|
Hi,
as for now, Gixen affiliate links look like this:
| Code: | <a href="http://www.gixen.com/index.php" name="username" target="_blank">
eBay Sniper
</a> |
IMHO, it would be better to scramble the eBay username in a some way (e. g., replace it with a hash). |

It seems it would be better to prepare the input string in some way before hashing.
E. g.: by appending some unrelated stuff to the input string, make the hash somewhat "salted".
With the current setup, it's quite easy to find out the real usernames by simple Google searching of the hash. Sorry for sounding a little bit paranoid  |
