    Look at this site

    RS Links

    Look under the Chat box on the right hand side (Or in any post at the bottom)

    [​IMG]

    Guess where that leads to :rolleyes:


    I tried letting them know they can't do that as a courtesy but they don't care. Guess who is going to lose their account, I bet

    Urgh - what a ghastly medical blog. MFA in a big way but here's a scenario: Google say to spammy medical blogger "is RS Links yours?" and spammy medical blogger replies "absolutely not". What happens then?

    What a load of crap. Reminds me of the warez sites in the old days that would require the user clicking on two or more ads before being able to download.

    It says temporarily disabled (well, that's what it's trying to say, anyway, though they can't spell :) when I clicked the "say thank you" button and was taken to the other site.

    Does anyone else get that now?

    Maybe they got the message?

    Yes, I am seeing that, too! It's nice to see their host is not putting up with that! :)

    I think they've just leant the error of their ways. The box was just a hyperlink to a site displaying AdSense - not an AdSense ad itself.
