troy, to get around this go through a US based proxy server.

mech, the reason that this is done is because traffic from certain countries is considered garbage when it comes to signing up via credit cards or even collecting email addresses...so the website owner decides to try to make a bit of cash off it by immediately redirecting to a dialer and also they save their bandwidth that way too!

I am **NOT** saying that Dutch traffic is garbage, nor am I saying that this is a good thing to do! Personally, I do NOT support affiliate programs that do this since they are in effect stealing your traffic (do they pay part of those Netherlands dialer revenues?)

cheers,

Luke
