are you talking about the exit pop - if a surfer clicks the counter and then closes the erotica empire page?

if so, how is that a big deal. it's like promoting a sponsor - that if the surfer clicks the banners - goes to the site and closes it out they get an exit pop.

if you're talking about hitbox loading a pop from the counter on the webmaster's page - that would suck.

wasn't really clear - don't know if i caught what you (or hoffman) were getting at.

Its a real pain in the ass.. i rely on hitbox heavily for tgp stats, and dont want to have to change now

all the germes sites wont pass the galleries due to a function open window in the javascripts..

arrrgghhhh..

How do we get into contact with Hitbox to let them know ?

I would guess he's saying they are popping consoles from the counter itself.

We had one of our non-adult sponsor networks start doing that shit a while back. I went to one of our own sites and all of a sudden I was getting consoles popping. Turns out they figured out how to pop them using the java code serving the banners, I guess. Too bad they didn't ask the site owners first.

Mainstream ad networks are desperate right now and trying to stay alive at any cost.
