One suggestion I have for Refer.ly is that to create JavaScript that automatically convert links to affiliated-links for site owners. This simplifies the process of creating a link on Refer.ly, copy and paste it on a site they own. They can just embed the script and it should do all the work for them.

We have an API for creating links: http://refer.ly/api/docs/links
They aren't the same thing.

I wrote the code to do this if you want to buy it.

Thanks, I have also written the code to do it, too, and it is not very hard - but I'd suggest you sell it to other people who don't know how. There are entire businesses to be built on top of the Referly API and right now we are leaving this particular one to developers to build.
