Changing & to & for validation of affiliate link.....

    Hi - I'm trying to validate my website and have any error for the following...

    e.g. ...//clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=898&a=1542323&g=385303"

    I could substitute & for & and in theory, I would have thought this would not affect the tracking of the link......

    Does anyone know if this is fine to do?

    Cheers,

    Joe

    The ampersand is a reserved character. All instances should be replaced by the character or numeric entity, & or &.

    cheers,

    I agree.

    Using the & shouldn't mess up any tracking, and it will be the only way to get full validation.
