Basically I need to read the URL the user is entering into IE. If it is a site that has an affiliate program instead of going directly to the URL it would go through my affilaite code.

If I understand this correctly... The surfer is typing in sponsor.ocm, and instead of going 404 because of the .com typo you were going to redirect to sponsor.com?id=you

I'd like to hear what program owners think of this. Aren't most surfers going to double check the address after it goes 404?

And what about prior affiliate cookies that are still active? Now your ID writes over those.
