Will is right – I also received the email concerning the TLA new link format, but didn’t knew anything [until now] about their “new” link format.

anyway – I’m very curious what is it gonna be after all

I have never felt good about professional ventures relying this kid of third party product. I am so glad you wrote them to say what we were all thinking.

I have just started with advertising and do have text link ads. I did get an e-mail from them. Since this happened and me being unfamiliar with how TLA really works, I’ll spend sometime this week learning what this means. I do know that these companies have way too much to hide:)

Will – yeah, it’s all a little bit strange – and I don’t think they’ve sent out an e-mail to all their affiliates telling them not to change their links after all… I guess they’re waiting until the new solution is ready.

But it looks like they’ve received a lot of negative feedback on changing to TinyURL in the first place – and they’re listening to their affiliates which I think is a good thing.

If they’re planning to do away with the idea of using tinyurl then why aren’t they telling affiliates before they go and change their links?

The whole thing smells like half an ass.

I thought that was strange too. I read on some website that they thought it was in response to google’s not liking paid links and hopefully masking them a little bit. But who knows.
