We want to ask everyone for feedback on something we are enhancing on NATS v4: broken link code handling.

Lets say you are placing a link to a NATS program on your page (encoded or unencoded link codes) and you mess up the link so that the program ID or tour ID, etc. is wrong.

What would you like to happen?

a) display an error message right away when the broken link is clicked. This will make the fact that it is broken very obvious but will also not allow any traffic to flow through until the link is repaired.

or

b) attempt to fix the link. for instance if you accidentally try to send to program id 51 instead of 5, we would recognize that program id 51 is invalid for the site or program you are trying to send to and grab the first program we can find that is valid for you and the site you are sending to and pass the surfer along to that program. This will allow the link to work but may make it very unnoticeable to you for fixing.

We are also toying with the idea of going with option b) and notifying you within the new affiliate area that a link had to be repaired and what URL that link came from.

Thanks for the feedback!
