Actually, it’s Host MONSTER (not Gator) that’s breaking frames along with BlueHost. Most TE owners and admins have caught it but definitely report it if you see one!

Oh, I’m also loving Get Response…very easy to use and no problems whatsoever.

Ya, the cheater thing will always exist. The best way to handle it is, in the background. Don’t make a big deal about it, just handle it like you see fit. That’s my opinion anyways. =)

Host Gator and Blue Host have been breaking frames and banned from my exchange. They are also popular ‘cover’ sites used by cheaters who are only there with malicious intent or trying to earn cash rewards for surfing. A lot of these people will fabricate fake names and use rotating IP’s to avoid being discovered.

Is it okay to promote hosting sites in TE’s? Of course. If the aforementioned sites stop breaking frames and do not cause problems for surfers, then they will be removed from the banned list.

*Note: Cheaters will always exist and use various websites, not just hosting sites. While actions are taken to prevent them from disrupting surfing, you can help by reporting abuse in almost all TEs.

And thank you for the post about the IPN system, Jon!

Hey Jon,

Sounds like it was a good Townhall meeting. I honestly wish I had been there.

Hmmmm… (The Picasso quote made me go hmmm.)

Here’s another hmmmm-er I use all the time to go with it:

Hi Jon,

“Things That Make You Go Hmmm…

- Host Gator seems to be the most reported site of the week in many traffic exchanges…”

A number of web hosts seem to be interrupting surfing on the TEs at the moment.

I have posted to a thread on this in the NMF.

I think a lot of the problem is not with the host or program owners, but by people who just use affiliate links to a site, without checking that the link that they are going to use is appropriate to the marketing medium that they are using.

Many of these people probably do not read the rules of posting, nor do they check that the links that they use work properly and do not break out of frames or have pop ups and so on.

Marketers should promote appropriate links in the most appropriate arena. Otherwise they just waste their own time (and perhaps money) and everybody else’s time too.

Just my thoughts.

Regards,
Jeff Henshaw.

Hi Susan, great to hear from you again.

Thank you very much for the kind words.

Yeah, I saw the email for Cash Clicking this week and while I’m worried once again about the PTC angle, it’s refreshing to read that owner wants to see it be like it’s old self when it first launched. Time will tell =)
