    I really wanna know is ALL the link structure that I got when I click on "link to this page" , is it all important?

    first:
    <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2F&tag=hubp0a6d-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957">

    then
    Name Your Link</a><img src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=hubp0a6d-20&l=ur2&o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />

    what is this <img> part for? and why they put "important" in it? I see the first part of the link has got my ID in it? why do I need the second? becuse in some sites I'm not allowed to use html, what is it used for?

    thanks in advance

    I use the url only, the second part is for Amazon's tracking. I use the url only on a number of sites and never had a problem with them tracking the clicks, I've never used the <img> part.
