In an interesting article from louisgray.com, Dell’s tinyurl link was redirected to a porn page, while big name brands like Amazon was embedded with an affiliate cookie, so anything you buy from Amazon gives the referrer a commission.
We all know that this is just the start and I am sure that people will find more creative use of this service.
