Ain't that special! If that's the case, then why are there people still using it today (Twitter, for one) to direct traffic to Godadday so that they can possibly earn a commission like they do for the other affiliate sites they're hawking. I can't believe they would use legit codes for all the others, but use a generic code for Godaddy, leaving a potential 20% referral fee on the table.

Do you mean the 1stchoicedesign Twitter user?

How are you getting these URLs? Most of them are the result of about 4 or 5 redirects, especially on Twitter which goes through t.co, then bit.ly, then affiliate.godaddy.com, then finally the URL above. For instance, one of the links from that 1stchoicedesign feed is https://bitly.com/ICBH3R - which according to the bitly info page (https://bitly.com/ICBH3R+) goes to http://affiliate.godaddy.com/redirect/E9F84F788EF630C486E5CDAE5CABFD65A2DB03FA65D00418FFD24E97A0061A070914402DD3F7CEEFCEA

If there was a way to check where else the ZT affiliate link had been used, you might dig something up.
