I've solved the spyware affiliate link hijacking problem
 
OK so working on a WEGCash ad the other day I realized that spyware was stealing my links. You can tell cause they redirect to another page that has your link code embedded. I kept the spyware on and figured out how to encode the URL so the spyware wouldn't recognize it.

I tested it out and when I checked the "same" link again, my code was embedded in the second page and not some spyware fuckers. By eliminating the trigger strings in the URL I made it un-jackable(by todays standards).

It's free. Get it yo. Be interesting to see if this causes a big increase in sales. I know most people have spyware so it's possible depending what sponsors they're jacking so far.

Not right now yo. I'm getting the fuck to bed in the 2k4.

So who other than you is using this??

Almost like linking through to your sponsors with php redirects eh? :glugglug

cluck 09-25-2004 11:55 PM

It's just me now. Better safe than sorry. On mainstream boards they bitch about link jacking constantly. I don't know if they're blowing it out of proportion but seeing the links on a site I was buying traffic for changed pissed me off so I solved it.

why do I have to give you my email address?

cluck 09-26-2004 11:51 AM

Yeah I made this myself. I kept it private for like a week. No point in that really.

Intresting...checking it

gornyhuy 09-26-2004 06:22 PM

Thanks for the effort, but its a very simple matter for the fuckers to just make the substitution algorithm a little bit simpler.

Of course they would only go to that trouble if a LOT of people were using protection like yours.

What "Spyware" is taking links?

Names?
Downloads...

You know...

Cut the bullshit and say it.

Whatever I have(which I think I got from overpro, which is WAY nastier than other simple toolbars and should really be avoided). I'm not sure exactly which executable file is jacking my links, but it rotates between 3 different WEG ID's.

pointless, some spyware can still change this
