Based on this theory, wouldn't it make sense, when using your hack, to hyperlink words with the URLs that have your referall id in them?

Am I making any sense?

Yup. Thats what I mean about a master listing. If there was a master listing of say Amazon book names with matching URL's (including a referal ID) then you would still have to edit them to put in YOUR referal ID.

In a nutshell, this hack will do exactly what you are trying to do. Everytime someone types in the joy of sex it will hyperlink it to the joy of sex at amazon.com with your referal id.

Hope that makse sense!
