Post Why the stealth-like hyperlinks?
Underneath an innocent looking PalmInfocenter news link masquerading as Palm.com, we find the real hyperlink pointing to somewhere on the unknown, deliberately-unpronouncable server tkqlhce.com

Is there no end to web shenanigans out there to ferret out every ounce of information you can get your hands on?

Sigh... Thought PalmInfocenter was better than that. Silly me.

Hi,
The links you are refering to are redirect links for Palm.com's affiliate program.

The tkqlhce.com URL's forward to Palm's site and track links from PalmInfocenter so that we get a small percentage of any sale from palm.com that we send there.

The affiliate sales help pay the bills and keep the PIC server running.

I agree its kinda misleading but thats the way the program works.
