    Has anyone ever seen your own affiliate code redirect to someone else code?

    Question that is troubled myself for the past 10 minutes, wondering how can this happen?

    Weird, anyway as you might know my id with TB is 1088 and tonight setting up a lesbo site I notice that this link is being replaced with code 10570 ?
    ohh I don't know whats happening.. Am I loosing my mind tonight? or has my pc been taken over by a cyber alien?

      You could have a spyware on your PC that is redirecting affiliate links. Run an updated copy of Adaware
      .

                  I'd also shoot an e-mail to your topbucks account rep and give them the details.

                      ask TB for the identity of whoever owns that account, they are stealing from you, no different than them walking into your house and taking your property.
                      I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                                  Actually they aren't just stealing from him. Anyone who has that particular spyware will be redirected to that affiliate's links regardless of whos page they are clicking the Topbucks links on... even yours... and it may not just be limited to Topbucks links

                                      if you have a cookie for id 2005 and yours is 2004 you will go to 2005 ,

                                      I am not saying this is the case here, but it could be

                                          G'day. Do you think a wms has written something to attack affiliate codes?

                                          I am firefox btw. I thought that it was untouchable to this sort of happenings.

                                              Could be cookies, but more likely a similar program to those that insert links on your pages based on keywords.

                                                  No browser is untouchable. The only reason Firefox has had less trouble up to now is that people who write these programs want to get more bang for the buck and go for the biggest target. Now that Firefox is becoming quite well known you can be expecting to have to run cleaners/protections just like IE.

                                                          It's Adware/Spyware. Most recently we discovered that people who downloaded Kazaa Media Desktop are being redirected away from Lightspeed Cash sites to a search engine. Imagine a member trying to get to a member's area only be redirected each time.

                                                                      The HOSTS file can't be edited directly because it is in use when Windows is running, but Hostman is a freeware HOSTS file manager that will let you easily remove any unwanted entries in your HOSTS file (or add some if you'd like).

                                                                                              The lesboerotica s7 tour was missing thus, our system was seeing an invalid tour & not carrying through the ID. We've fixed both problems so the s7 tour now exists & any invalid tour entries for lesboerotica now carry through the webmaster ID like it does for our other sites. We apologize for the error.

                                                                                              Fortunately, LEsboerotica s7 tour was not one of our more popular tours & we have checked the 10570 account for the past 2 months and show no sales generated for that site.
