Hey, I've just purchased link freeze and also identified one little problem with my site.
pls have a look at the site:
http://www.everydaysale.co.uk/shop-merchant_id-36-discount-voucher-Argos.htm

when you click page 2, 3, 4,.. at the bottom of the page, the url shown in the status bar is not quite right.

I used the following code to get the current URL and modify the page number for page 2 3, 4,5...

url = request.ServerVariables("URL")

    if request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING") <> "" then
        url = url & "?" & request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")
    end if
    if instr(url, "page=") > 0 then
        url = left(url, instr(url, "page=") - 1) & "page=" & cpage
    elseif instr(url, "?") > 0 then
        url = url & "&page=" & cpage
    else
        url = url & "?page=" & cpage
    end if
    getPageUrl = url

However you will find the page runs perfectly for another page from the same page
http://www.everydaysale.co.uk/shop-merchant_id-426-discount-voucher-Dorothy-Perkins.htm

I had spent quite a long time trying to figure out the problem by myself. but ended up with failure and i have to turn to you for help !

many thanks,

Jiemin Gu

I don't see anything wrong about 2,3,4... URL s on this page.

It is acutally when you click page 2, 3, 4, it is still on the page 1 . though the url is changed.

http://www.everydaysale.co.uk/shop-merchant_id-36-discount-voucher-Argos&page-2.htm

this Url is not quite right as the page=2 is not passed correctly.

many thanks

Now I see the problem. Are you generating this page links server side or client side? If you did it server side then there should not be any problems with LinkFreeze. I suggest you to generate all links on server, because search engines will not run your client script and will never reach next pages anyway (same is for clients with JScript disabled).

the original url before linkfreeze is like

shop.asp?merchant_id=36&discount-voucher=argos

in fact only the merchant_id is needed and for SEO purpose, I apply discount-voucher=argos

however linkfreezer works when the merchant name has 2 characters like this below

If you have used "-" as a substitution character it is not possible to use this character in parameter names or it will break links. Rename discount-voucher to the discount_voucher (or better remove it as it is not importans for SEO).
