Change all website links to affiliate links automatically

Question

I would like to be able to automatically change links into affiliate links automatically on my MediaWiki installation. This would help to reduce the amount

So you can also use jquery to bind any link click. This way you can do your link eval on the fly. This jsfiddle is a rough run through of what i think you're trying to accomplish. The alerts are just for your benefit and should be removed.

$("a").click(function() {
    addAffiliate(this);
});

myCode = "?pp=708a77db476d737e54b8bf4663fc79b346d696d2";
myAmazonCode = "?tag=shihac-20"
    function addAffiliate(link) {
        alert("enterting script: " + link.href);
        if ((link.href).indexOf("gog.com") > -1 && (link.href).indexOf(myCode) < 0) {
                link.href = link.href + myCode;
        }else if((link.href).indexOf("amazon.com") > -1 && (link.href).indexOf(myAmazonCode) < 0){
                link.href = link.href + myAmazonCode;   
        }
            alert(link.href);
            return true;
        }​

UPDATE: added code and fully qualified paths

UPDATE: added 'else if' block for other codes. using 'else if' instead of just another if block will hopefully cut back on unnecessary processing.
