It's affiliate linking all external links.. this is in the HTML:
<script type="text/javascript">
var vglnk = { api_url: '//api.viglink.com/api',
key: '10d65021fe8df993d13ed5809f74e817' };
(function(d, t) {
var s = d.createElement(t); s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.async = true;
s.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? vglnk.api_url :
'//cdn.viglink.com/api') + '/vglnk.js';
var r = d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0]; r.parentNode.insertBefore(s, r);
}(document, 'script'));
</script>
and the viglink site says:
How It Works
If one of your users clicks through to a product or service and buys something, you earn a commission. You only pay us a share of what you earn.

I'm trialling some affiliate stuff, designed to affiliate all outbound traffic instead of just the ones which are written with that in mind.
It does open up a few other hotel chains to us, currently just Premier Inn which has done a bit of business.
It would also then catch links in threads. I've left it out of u2us as that was a step too far as that would then disclose link content in u2us to the outside world.
That said, it's been up two days and done approximately one carrot. Need to see how it does.
I'll announce properly what it's all about if we stick with it. Whatever happens, I don't intend changing things too much and if it's too spammy or slows anyone down it'll be fired off on those grounds.

There are only two domains -
google-analytics.com
viglink.com
Anything else is not related to CS.
