true, but USPTO isn't running any affiliate program to track clickthrus for commission/marketing tracking.
this patent would be able to be beaten by showing CGI linking from one website to another, and that it would be an obvious extension to track clicks, etc.
what is needed is a silver bullet of an adult affiliate program that was running before sept 1995.
Fight the emphasis!
