Thats a new one

Just for pop-ups? Thats kind of going a little too far is'nt it? I can understand for syware/adware, that's a good thing to get rid of.

Seems this might bring "linking to a bad neighborhood" to an all new meaning.

So how do we monitor what we link to, to know what is bad or red flagged as others have said? Not only trades, but free sites. geez, a mess. Not like we have a toolbar to tell us. And which sponsors are bad. Would "nofollow" save us, sponsor wise?

EDIT: I just checked one of my sites, and sure enough, I am linking to a red flagged sponsor. But that is the Mcafee site.

I also found a topsite i use, they flagged as very spammy, 3 e-mails a week! 3 in a week is very spammy?

I dont think it was just popups - if you look they tested the site and one of the popups(probably a chain sponsor that wegcash has no control over) tried to install a program on the test computer
I had the same thing happen when I tested another companies( a rather large aff program) popup chain - it was platinum bucks - but as soon as I told them what one of their popup suppliers was doing they took it down

Ya, your probably right, that makes sense.

I still wonder about about the e-mail, spammy stuff. Many surfers sign up and want to get e-mails from sites, dont see how they can just blanket it with how many they recieve from a form and make a decision.
