    I want to create redirection for affilate links. But not sure with some details.
    The idea is:
    - from my program I'm showing some adv with the link to my redirection page (say myserver.com/affilate1)
    - when user clicks on it he goes to this page(myserver.com/affilate1), and it will redirect by php code or htaccess file to affilate link.

    But... the cj "get links" page gives the following code:
    " <a href="http://www.jdoxdcy.com/click-xxxxx-xxxxx" target="_top"> Some affilate program </a>
    <img src="http://www.ftjxdx.com/image-xxxxxx-xxxxx" width="1" height="1" border="0"/>

    What i have to do with img tag, may i ignore it and use only the link?
    Or should i use destination page which is like:

    _http://www.someaffilateprogram.com/apps/tracking/commissionjunction.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Esomeaffilateprogram_blah_blah_blah_pid=%zp

    and place my PID on the end? after or instead of %zp ???

    What does "Advertiser Designated Link as HTML-only" actually means?

    Many thanks

    You can use the first url you've posted (http://www.jdoxdcy.com/click-xxxxx-xxxxx). The 1x1 pixel img is only for tracking impressions, if you remove it, then your tracking stats won't be accurate. A lot of people remove the 1x1 pixel image.
