1- its a gambling site- so when someone mentions ladbrokes , I want to substitute my affiliate link url for the word laddies..
Only if you implement it badly. There's no reason for it to have an impact on performance if you have it configured correctly2- hmm.. I heard this product causes pages to load quite slowly (altho the guy who told me this gets mega traffic).. possible workaround using iframes?
