As I said I don't get redirected and geo stuff usually redirects me with no trouble because the peopl running it don't appreciate the true value of uk traffic.

Has to be spyware crap. I presume you've checked your hosts file?

My icq is 41012160.

Lensman - the url contains hex encoded chars that'll probaby fubar the link. So i put it in a text file:

not had a problem with spyware before, but am still checking things and cleaning

OK, figured it out. We put up the ADS dialer a couple of days ago, and one of our guys put a language redirector for inbound traffic on one of the servers. It' supposed to only be on exits. The good news is that it was only on one of the three gateway servers, so most traffic was not effected.

It's fixed. Great catch chemicaleyes. It had us fooled, because the one guy in our office who did it didn't synch the other servers to it.

Great, made about 30-40 clicks and No redirecting anymore :thumbsup

Hey Chief - better go get your man to sort out AP now - I'm in Australia and im getting redirected to your dialer as well.

Its a common trick i have noticed lately with dialers that do the geo redirecting themselves. They like to slip some past from normal areas and sludge the traffic. Then they sell off the dialer popup's to hijack the browser to a third party to boot.

I noticed this on a bunch of other sponsors lately as well. I wouldnt let the dialers have control unless your monitoring them closely.

Tip#1 dont let someone else control your traffic unless your in on the code.

Tip#2 watch them like hawks.

Im not dissing your sponsor lens , but i have noticed this problem with other sponsors. Suddenly canadians and brits and australians will be redirected for no reason.

Its almost like they are doing it on purpose because they know the people checking will be doing it from the usa.

Hell it could just be an honest mistake that i happened to notice on 3 seperate sponsors :)

But it seems very suspicious. Like if i cut a deal with you to redirect your traffic that you cant process anyways thru cc card for a certain cut. Who is to say i dont add some ip ranges from good areas to boost my traffic/sales. How would you know ? You wouldnt . Until people started noticing it. With all the hijacking going on , most sponsors might just figure its a hijack or a fluke. And surfers wont know the difference , the only people who would complain is webmasters who are checking links. Again it doesnt affect everyone so just a small percentage of people get ripped and dont realise it, or write it off as an error , come back 2 days later and it works again so they dont bother complaining.

Just my opinion though and no particular slant against ads

all good here (greece)

Well said dude :thumbsup

amen to that
