Rather, we're redirecting you within the same site (so, it still is the same old whatever.com, it's just our affiliate entry into whatever.com, which is exatly the same).
Ya, but this is just downright underhanded. It's even MORE underhanded when users are expecting to help out another site by clicking on their affiliate links only to have TopMoxie redirect them under your affiliate entries. Or is TopMoxie intelligent enough to only hijack URLs that aren't already being referred by another affiliate? My guess is no... but please tell me I'm wrong!
