How to Report Cheaters/Cloakers/Hidden links

    Being new, I took some time getting the ASP code up and running. Then the change saying I needed to update and that took some time. It would be nice to get email notifications if your site is taken down because an update is needed.

    In any case, I started clicking on some of the links generated on my site:
    www.koltenw.com

    I am frankly amazed at how many are NOT using the co-op, and I am advertising for them. I do NOT want to do this. If I am advertising for them, I want them to be advertising as well.

    I can't find an easy way to report any of these sites. Is there such a thing or do I just email the admin. I would have thought there were be a sticky topic on this as I am sure I am not the only one to come accross sites in the coop that are not including the links on their pages. (I don't just mean sub pages, but even on the main front page - obviously against the rules).

    You don't have to put links on the same site that you advertise for.

    I serve links on site A, but my ads that go across the system are targeting site B. Lots of people do this.

    'tis true. While I do point to a lot of my sites (Site A in the above example), one of the greatest benefits of the co-op is I can use it as a springboard for my sites and my clients sites (site B) that are new while I buildup IBLs and traffic to those sites.

    That's why the weighting, the referral bonus, and the "master account" is so important. Also, a lot of admins set up several accounts, one for each site, and feed ALL their weight into the master account so they can distribute as needed.

    Thank you. Never thought of this. Nice feature/plus to do this. Using the weight of one site to drive traffic to another.

    Now, this bring a new question. I have no porn sites (prefer the real), but, would this allow people with both types to use a cheesy site for adnetwork weight, but then drive traffic to the porn to bypass the rules?

    No, sites that are targets of ads are human reviewed (and they do a good job of it too). Accidentally linking to porn or other bad neighborhoods was my biggest concern with giving out links that I have no control of. Every now and then somebody slips through, but I don't even worry that much about it anymore.
