NATS, encoded vs non-encoded URLS
I have a database of FHG links that I imported from sponsors. I want to be able to allow a friend to use the same database but it has all my affiliate codes in there. Is it possible to change the URL and replace his affiliate code if it is encoded?
Is it encoded or encrypted? Meaning is it proprietary and can I do this, or am I forced to recreate my database with the unencoded URLs? Anyone know the format/algorithm for this?
I personally like the encoded because it looks better, but are there other reasons people choose the encoded rather than the unencoded? Is this some kind of security / fraud thing as well?
