Do you want to redirect Zango infected traffic?

Just posting code for those who want to use it.

By placing this code in your .htaccess, users with zango installed will be detected & redirected to a page of your choice.

On that page you should include instructions to that user explaining to them why they're on that page & how to remove zango. You can also use google adwords or any other ad system, or even sell anti spyware, or no ads at all.. your call..

According to my own stats, zango infected users account for a very minimal amount of visitors..

From somewhere around 740K unique visitors over the last month & half to my entire domain portfolio, 616 users were detected.. 11 of those users clicked a google ad making $2.23

anyway, here is the code.. change the url to your domain

Code:

RewriteEngine On 

RewriteCond &#37;{HTTP_USER_AGENT} zango [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*ZangoToolbar.*$ [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*Seekmo.*$ [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*hbtools.*$ [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*hotbar.*$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^$ http://www.yourdomain.com/zango.htm [R]

btw, anyone got zango user agents I may be missing?

that's really not much

I've seen people saying that about 2% of their surfers are zangofected.

I forgot to mention, you need to redirect the user to a domain outside of this .htaccess & do not use this in the .htaccess of the domain you're sending them to, otherwise it'll create a loop

I review my hardlink & traffic trades carefully. :winkwink:

If someone is trading with sites that use certain contextual & ppc ads, the chances of getting zango infected users is higher because alot of people promoting zango buy the ppc/contextual ads.. Some of these contextual ads probably promote/advertise zango themselves.. like adultadworld

but for a great thread

I did some analysis over my logs and 1.48% :warning of visitors are zango positive. My traffic is almost 95% google based.

740k 616 11 $2.23
thats one hell of a conversion ratio.
where do I sign up

Why redirect it? It's not like they overwrite affiliate codes, do they? They just pop up popups?

Useful thread bump. Thanks spacedog.
