Hmm are you using vBSEO to rewrite the vBSEO affiliate link?
Good idea!

No, I have written a php script that adds in some information into a database - referer details to the page, date, time etc. Use it for a number of my affiliate links. The links look a bit nicer as well, not so obviously affiliate links.

Looks like vBSEO are internally rewriting affiliate links anyway;

./aff/idevaffiliate.php?id=110_1_3_12 = ./110

Perhaps this threads original post could do with being updated to correspond with the new changes that are arriving with the introduction of vBSEO 3.0.0, such as pingbacks and trackbacks?

per vbseo -


1. The PHP installation:
- must have pre-installed (in php.ini) Zend Optimizer or Ioncube libraries
- OR allow dynamic loading of the extensions to load Ioncube library

2. ISAPI Rewrite module for IIS should be installed: ISAPI_Rewrite - URL Rewrite engine for IIS, ISAPI Filter for URL Rewriting, mod_rewrite for IIS (http://www.isapirewrite.com/)

3. rewrite rules from isapi_rewrite.txt file should be added to the ISAPI Rewrite config file (httpd.ini)

4. Server permissions must be modified to allow IUSR_XX user to write to include/config_vbseo.php file. This is required to let vbseocp store the settings in config file.
