As far as this toolbar, this does look like a setup to eventually move the surfers around to where they want. In the meantime, an Htaccess fix should work. |
htaccess won't do much, because these guys won't announce their toolbar in the headers (which is what is required to spot it). It is pretty much a death sentence for automated standard traffic trading scripts.
It also shows that some people will go to very extreme lengths to steal traffic from others, and puts the onus on the programs to once again not deal with thieves and not buy the traffic. It won't be long before the toolbar people will be replacing every link on every page to their own stuff, totally fucking the surfer over.
The programs need to wise up to this stuff, you could end up paying theives for traffic until there is nobody left to steal from... then they will really fuck you over by controlling too much of the traffic and raising the price until your business is unprofitable.
