Post Affiliate Links And Special Characters

Hello Warriors

I've come across a site that will not let you submit sites with characters in the link. This is the page that came up after my submission.


Due to excessive spamming AND the degrading quality of our listings, we no longer will automatically accept URL's that contain the following characters: ( !, ?, ~, @, *, = )

We sincerely apologize to our honorable users who's URLs were rejected by this policy.


Please try again. Thank you!

I'm finding out that some are not allowing http://yoursitename, it has to be in this format http://www.yoursitename. No characters:
( !, ?, ~, @, *, = )

I will develop a list as I go through and post. I'll post my findings here.

Those of you promoting click bank, paypal and paydotcom should be concerned.

Why would you be submitting raw affilates links to a directory?
Like Loz said, just cloak them.

Couldn't you just use php or html code on a page on your own site to redirect if the url contained such characters?

I like to keep control of the redirection myself.
