Long link is longer then a short link.
In all seriousness.. what are you asking? Please give an example.

PeerFly, for example, provide two links to each offer. Here is a ficticious example for one offer:

"Short link":

Code:

http://peerfly.com/x/0/4744/12345/

"Long link":

Code:

http://peerfly.com/click.php?img=0&id=4744&pf=12345&subid=&subid2=&subid3=&email=

Cyberwiz, is that what you are asking?

I do now know why there are two links. I always use the second (long). But I cut it down, after the first subid. Like so:

Code:

http://peerfly.com/click.php?img=0&id=4744&pf=12345&subid=

LOL, so sorry about that.

Peerfly's offer provide two links, short and long links.
eg:
http://peerfly.com/x/0/4767/91507/
http://peerfly.com/click.php?img=0&i...subid3=&email=

I'm wondering what are the differences?

Thanks Loffy, you always offer your help.
I appreciate it much.

So why they have two links?
and do you know what are the sub IDs for? (I mean how to utilise them)?

All I know is that SubId is used to carry (transfer) information (data) about something.
