Why can't this just link to the original article?

Which is an ok article, and might be better summed up that when you are dealing with an unknown quantity, you should treat them as an unknown quantity and /not/ trust them to do their job properly. Which is fine and reasonable and possibly common sense.

I just don't understand why this article required two levels of indirection.

It looks like somebody already fixed that.

When I link to my own articles on Inc.com, I redirect it through my own site because I want to track how much traffic I'm sending them. Every year when they're considering whether to renew my contract I remind them of this. (For the record, it averages 40,000 direct clickthroughs per month)

Ok, I put the partner argument back into the link, so you'll still get credit for the traffic.

To make sure we upvote it because its from Joel.
