Webcams.com is stealing your PageRank and traffic

Big props to the person who pointed this out. I'm taking all the links down.

Check the iframe code that they offer to webmasters:

Code:

<!-- BEGIN WEBCAMS.COM IFRAME CODE -->

<iframe width="570" height="215" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" src="http://banners.webcams.com/misc/iframes/iframe16.php?perpage=3&bg=01&bgcolor=000000&modelnamecolor=000000&columns=3&rows=1&type=1&rev=0&reseller=gfy&mcat_id=&landing_type=livechat&misc1=&misc2=">

<h2><a href="http://www.webcams.com" title="live webcam sex">Webcams.com</a>

</iframe>

Notice the direct link hardlink back to their site:

Code:

<a href="http://www.webcams.com" title="live webcam sex">Webcams.com</a>

What is the point of it? You don't get any credit for sent traffic and it steals your PageRank back to webcams.com.

Bad, bad, bad :2 cents:

They are removed from my site until a rep gets back to this and post a really GOOD excuse.

Oh, this is too bad. Luckily I just place their banners on my sites, not iframe! Waiting for their response too ;)

Why are they doing this? It's blatant stealing.

Can you post their code?

Exactly!!! Just checked my sites and noticed it too ;) I wonder why they do this while we, affiliates, are trying to promote their sites.
It seems that we caught some whales today :))

it doesn't harm Your pr, they're just free hardlinking, even though it's also might be counted not good, how ever, they might be doing this for an old habit regarding to Browsers that don't support frames even though i doubt if any of them are still left.

Looks like it's a standard practice with cam programs. People are reporting PussyCash doing the same.

Just checked the iframe codes in my account, the hardlink isn't there. Already fixed or depends on the account maybe?

Code:

Starts with <iframe ends with </iframe>

I mean thanks for the heads up but in my account really I can't see it.

It's in the models iframes (the most popular tool)

You can't just remove it?
I mean, copy and paste is a pretty advanced skill but can't you selectively take out the h2 tag when you put it on your site?

Most webmasters don't look at the code, esp iframes. They just copy whatever they are given into their pages.

What's the point of having that extra html code in there? Taking advantage of people like this is fucked.

I noticed it a year or so ago and just took that part of the link out. I also nofollow all sponsor links anyway.

Those have been there for a long time. If you haven't noticed and deleted that, it's your fault really.

Can you please post a reference of how it harms PR?

I have a lot of links with that iframes code and want to determine if I need to change it. I don't really want to waste my time, if this doesn't effect my PR.

I think you got the wrong impression.

This in no way affected anyone's pagerank btw :2 cents:

All incoming links raise your page's Pagerank.

All outgoing links decrease your page's Pagerank.

Wrong.

Whether PageRank Leakage exists or not, is a question of semantics. The PageRank for a given page is solely determined by the inbound links.(1) However, as the spreadsheet will show, an outgoing link can drain the entire site for PageRank.

You're linking to different pages.

Both outgoing links count.
