Click Tracking System

Warning:
Critical: All external links MUST route through click.php for proper tracking and monetization. Direct external links result in 100% skim penalty and break analytics.
// CORRECT - Always use click.php
<a href="click.php?url=<?php echo urlencode($url); ?>&type=video&id=<?php echo $id; ?>">

// WRONG - Never link directly
 <a href="https://external-site.com">
