International traffic sent to dialer purgatory

[Ms Naughty]

I thought I'd publically register my frustration with sites that automatically send international traffic into popup hell and diallers that say "You must hit YES to continue"

In the last few weeks I've signed up with two separate sponsors because I liked the look of their sites. But when I clicked on my own link to see what happened, both times I encountered multiple popups and diallers and eventually the sites crashed my browser. At no time did I actually get a chance to glimpse the site I'd originally clicked on. I was redirected to sites in other niches that weren't necessarily of interest to my potential surfer. This is because I'm unfortunate enough to be Australian.

I can understand the push to make money from international traffic that may not have access to a credit card.

What I can't understand is why these sponsors don't at least give international surfers a chance to look properly at the site and a chance to pay via various methods. Is there something about diallers that means you can't include them as a payment method on the join page?

Am I just being ignorant about this?

Or perhaps I'm being sentimental in wanting to send my surfer to the site I've actually advertised??

Yesterday I sent an email asking if there was any way to stop my links from redirecting the international traffic. I haven't had a reply yet.

Am I alone in this frustration?
