    Default affiliate link throwing 403 error

    For some reason, our affiliate link is showing a 403 error - forbidden.
    Going to this page:
    http://www.NOTMYDOMAIN.com/health-pr...iliateID=10052
    Gives that error.

    All other pages work just fine.
    What permissions could I be missing?

    looks like the host put an "Ad blocker" on their firewall. So if this happens to someone else, check your web server logs to see if any requests are even getting to server.

    If not, then it's likely they also have the ad blocking software on the server. For some reason, lots of affiliate programs get on firewall lists as spam/ads.
