    HTML:

    can someone explain what this code is doing? Could this be effecting my affiliate sales? Also it gave me a backlink according to google.

    It is a link to some javascript on some Yahoo server. It looks like it is just used to tell Yahoo how the visitor to that page got there (it contains the referring URL). In this case, it looks like you got to that page by doing a Google search. Not sure how that would affect your sales though.
