    clickzs.com cheating bastards and knowingly hotlinking my site

    Can you believe the pissflap who runs clickzs.com

    About 2 weeks ago one of my sleepy little sites suddenly shot up to using 8GB of bandwidth a day instead of about 1.5GB

    I found my site being hotlinked by best-sex-movie.com and bestvideosnow.com

    The hotlink script looks like this

    Code:
    <!-- <img src=http://vip.clickzs.com/top.php?fncb&mysite.com/index.html width=0 height=0> -->
    Clearly it is clickzs.com allowing the hotlinking to take place, without their script my site wouldn't be hotlinked.

    I mailed clickzs.com and gave them all the accounts hotlinking me, AND THIS IS THEIR REPLY!!!!!!!!!

    WTF!!!!

    Their script is hotlinking MY site and they won't disable it.

          hmm a little confused at what they are hotlinking ? Looks like an invisible hotlink.. for what purpose does it serve them to do that ?

              Both best-sex-movie.com and bestvideosnow.com own traffic telling programs, go figure.

                  Well for one it burns up MY bandwidth and its probably used to fake traffic trading using my site.

                  If you do a whois on best-sex-movie.com and bestvideosnow.com you'll find they own traffic reselling programs, no doubt all fake or stolen traffic.

                  With the help of clickzs.com

                  The point is that clickzs.com could have stopped hotlinking me but they ignored my complaints.

                      Use .htaccess to stop the hotlinking.

                      Webair Hosting

                      I use and recommend Webair for hosting.

                          i realise it eats your bw .. i was just more concerned there wasnt something deeper going on.. The way you mention above sounds like they are trying to trick your site into recieving false hits .. are you trading traffic with them or ?

                              u could try this if u wanna be tricky.. instead of blocking them with htaccess use the htaccess to forward the request to a password protected directory , then they will get password prompt boxes all over their site , that will make them remove it asap ..

                                  Oh yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssss

                                  I FUCKING LOVE YOU simply brilliant.


                                  I spent ages trying to think what I could do with their hits and ended up redirecting them back to their own html, but later just blocked ther site altogether.

                                  I can't wait to see the password box on their pages LOL
