    Sorry...couldn't think of a better title.

    phpfoxcustomization.com recently submitted to my directory...w/o paying. No big deal...it happens. Normally I just delete sites that "forget" to pay but I had a look at this particular site and found the following code embedded in their nav menu:

    http://cyberbilt.com/admin/dir_approve_links.php?r=1 
    Code (markup):
    My guess is that by embedding the above code, they figured that they could bypass the approve/reject process.

    Is my guess correct...or is it something else?

    when you enter that URL in the browser, it brings you to the admin part of their site. so im guessing they were trying to bypass like you said...

    It's interesting that they have that in their nav menu, just for you. I don't see it, so this is probably cloaking, done stupidly.

    Pretty stupid as the link doesn't contain any GET data so your server wouldn't know what URL they wanted approving. Just laugh and move on.
