Affiliate link module ? [#399436]

Hello,

Affiliate is awesome for the merchands, but on the other side of affiliation, the website publishers, it seems there's a lack of a Drupal module to manage outgoing affiliate links (like Affiliate Ninja & al. on Wordpress).

Bouncer seems to be a good starting point for this, although some deep modifications would be necessary in order to use it as an affiliate link module. For now, I've just ported the module to Drupal 6 : #371683: 6.x version?

Do you know any other interesting modules I'm not aware of ?

Thanks,
Guix

There's URLproxy too as a base code candidate.

I am looking for the exact same functionality.

For each node I would like to add outgoing links, that are masked.

So for a node like
mydrupal.com/dogs

I would like to add
mydrupal.com/dogs/download
or
mydrupal.com/dogs/visit

which then take you to
othersite.com/landingpage

Any ideas how this could be achieved the best way with any current modules?
Ideally, I would like each node, to enable callbacks somehow, so if the masked url is clicke d with /download added in the end, the user is redirected according to some rule, or db value for all nodes in a content type for example.

I am also pointing some discussions here, maybe we can cook something up...

Thanks giorgio79 for all these links, it seems Drupal indeed lacks a good affiliate link module.
I don't have time right now to code but I'll try to rather start a wiki page instead of using that issue in Ubercart Affiliate.
For what you want, I know it's easy for a module to register a path like /go/[keyword] or /visit/[keyword] but maybe it's more difficult to register a path like /node/[NID]/[keyword]
