## Description

This tool will scan links with the specified domains for the query string variables
listed below and ensure that they are updated with the appropriate values. These
valued can be defined by:

 1. Post/Page settings
 2. URL
 3. Client Side Cookie
 4. Server Session Cache
 5. Defaults (in the global admin)

The list above indicates the order of override – in short, settings for a post/page
will cause mismatching values set via url to be ignored. Note: This processing will
only apply to material output via the_content() (this includes pages & posts).

For example – if the domain is www.wordpress.org and the query string variables 
defined are “affiliateID” and “trafficSource”, any links to www.wordpress.org would
have the affiliateID & trafficSource query string variables appended. If they are
already in the link’s url, it will update those variables to the correct values.
