Hi,

Links to amazon and other sites like that much happen a huge amount on boards. If there was some way to sign up as an affiliate, and then parse posting to add in boards' affiliate link code, it could easily drum up some cash.

What do you think?

I'm not talking about parsing text for products.

I'm talking about parsing links to amazon, to simply add in an affiliate link.

It wouldn't affect you in any way whatsoever.

The idea was to modify links that people had already posted, not to insert new ones.
