    Sorry if I am being a bit silly here but what is the "code" that people keep asking for? Just read through the T&Cs and all I can see is the unique link which is being posted?

    https://www.metro.co.uk/fortune

    which leads to the link I posted above
  • It's mainly an assurance that the link is not unique to each click. When we see a link of such length it often means the website uses 'hash tables' to uniquely connect a) user with b) activity. A website owner can see where traffic comes from. It could be seen as entering a house via the front door (using the short link), or by appearing in the room (by the longer link). You probably don't want people just randomly appearing in the room?

    T&C's can state you must use a certain link, and redirecting is being done by their server. The Metro's T&C's clearly state you must visit the published page. It's best to just post the link as published in the paper so nobody stands a chance at having their entry disqualified.

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!
