Allison - I went back and checked - basically it looks like they are replacing the WMs ref id on the exit pops - I did it through the milfseeker site - although now when I go into the same site without zango its changing the codes to that same other ref ID - earlier it carried over my ref ID for your multisite popup with this text and a bunch of banners -
"Step into Reality...with this gaggle of
Adult Reality Sites
that are sure to tickle your fancy!!!"
Then I get three more pops in the exit chain - although my code is still in the top - the codes in the pops are definitely not mine - but then I dont know if you pay WMs for referrals through the exit pops?
THe only other pop I got was the Fling pop but that had your ref id in it

Ok thanks for the info. It doesn't sound like Zango is targetting TopBucks sites. That sounds like a cookie issue. Some exit console sales are credited to the webmaster and some are used for inhouse testing purposes. We have a no cookie over-write code so cookies within a certain time frame can't be overwritten.
We have been on the Zango issue very early on- for almost 3 years when we first identified how they negatively impact the webmaster, the business owners, and the surfer. I'm glad to see that targetting is not ocurring as we test on a regular basis as well and have not found targetting of our sites.
I DO WANT TO ADD SOMETHING IMPORTANT FOR ALL WEBMASTERS: Zango I believe is just a small problem amongst many other major problems. Zango is a company that we all know about and there are hundreds of other companies out there doing similar or even more invasive things to steal traffic or steal affiliate sales. TopBucks has always been a reputable company and we know that traffic theft on all levels no matter how people may describe it impacts all the legitimate business operators.
If any webmaster finds or identifies any adware, spyware, trojan, etc that manipulates affiliate traffic or targets our network of websites, please contact me personally ASAP. We will
hansomly reward any person who identifies such problems.
There will be more news from TopBucks to come regarding these types of issues as targetting our sites or our affiliate traffic will not be tolerated and TopBucks will not sit idly by.
