Why do some links halt on another site than the one they are supposed to go to?
The link in post two is supposed to go to Tesco but halts on a page called solutions, after going via tradedoubler

Hi santer,
Does the link end up on the Tesco page, or never get past 'solutions'?

It was stopping on solutions but have just clicked it and it goes to Tesco now
This is from another site but just to show what it was doing
http://solutions.tradedoubler.com/redirect/tesco/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tesco.com%2Fdirect%2Fpink-cookie-foldable-holdall%2F211-3855.prd%3FskuId%3D211-3855%26pageLevel%3D&oac=aff_1018132&tduid=09989b076bd03e9139dddd6b088d99320 -
Thanks santer,
That other link also goes straight through to tesco for me. Thanks for raising this though, and it would be great if you can let us know if this happens again.

Just another way for the "no Spam/ no Adverts" to make money from those that don't expect it.
What happened to all that about marking affiliate links with * ....?
I see any links to ebay are now cloaked to go via an affiliate programme, whether they are posted by MSE or a user.<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0 -
There is a pop up blocker causing the transfer to halt, wasn't sure if it was OK to post which one0

That is probably someone with an interest on counting the clicks received by Tescos or from Moneysavingexpert.0

Tradedoubler is an affiliate programme - look at the link itself
solutions.tradedoubler.com/redirect/tesco/?url= http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tesco.com%2Fdirect%2Fpink-cookie-foldable-holdall%2F211-3855.prd%3FskuId%3D211-3855%26pageLevel%3D &oac=aff_1018132&tduid=09989b076bd03e9139dddd6b088d9932
The highlighted code shows that somebody will be claiming an affiliate payout for this click through...<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0
