Hi guys,
This is happening to affiliates that have assigned their email address as their Private Cash username.
NATS generates the links by two ways:
1) by adding the username next to the fhg adtool parameter (un-encoded version)
2) by adding an encoded version next to the fhg adtool parameter (encoded version)
Please look at this example:
http://enter.private.com/gallery/MTY...4yOTYzLjAuMC4w
http://enter.private.com/gallery/yor...6.0.2963.0.0.0
Both links are the same.
We were sending our weekly galleries newsletter this way during the last year and actually we didn't receive any negative feedback from affiliates (search engines issues, spam increase, etc). Most of our affiliates are using a nickname as a username, maybe that's the reason.
Of course now we are going to take care of this issue. I'll try to configure nats accordingly so that the galleries don't display the username.
We apologize for this inconvenience. I'll update this thread asap.
I can provide fhg dumps (containing encoded links) to all affiliates that want to.
Just let me know by sending me an email.
Thanks for your feedback
Yorgos
