Which affiliate link to use?

Is there a difference between "http://XXXX.PRODUCT.hop.clickbank.net" and "http://PRODUCT.com/?=XXXX"???

Wow, an easy question. This doesn't happen all that often.

Use this format: "http://XXXX.PRODUCT.hop.clickbank.net"

This is the newer linking method to use; the old one still works, but it is easier for someone to "hijack" your affiliate link when you use the old style.

Again, both versions work, but you will definitely wanna use the more current one, which is:

"http://XXXX.PRODUCT.hop.clickbank.net"

I always use http://me.product.hop.clickbank.net
Something about the other one just makes me nervous.. I guess I feel safer all tucked in then hanging off the end..
