If you dont know what this is , basically a toolbar or third party program that rewrites the html of the page your viewing, searching for ref codes for certain sites and replacing them with their own.

I might be jumping to conclusions early but after redoing my linkcodes to php redirects my ratio's have improved dramatically.

This makes sense and doesnt make sense at the same time.. if a program is rewriting ref codes , i would think even with a php redirect it would simply rewrite the ref code on the nastydollars page defeating my method of counteracting it.. ( unless i was sending hits directly to the join page ) but it seems to work. only thing i can think of is these ref code rewriting cretins dont rewrite ref codes on the site because it would be spotted easier by the program owners..

anyways just thought i would share, anyone with any other info they want to share on defeating these types of programs or any experience with them i would be glad to hear from..
