    Is it possible for scammers to add '<A rel="nofollow" >' into the code of ad_network.php ?

    Please address to my worry. Thanks.

    Yeh, I guess I can see someone *thinking* that there would be an advantage, but as far as I know there wouldn't.

    Would require someone to change the output of the ad HTML, which a a blanket rule would be against the terms and get themselves banned from the ad network.

    Thanks Shawn. I hope you have a way to check such foul play.

    To those who *think* that they can read my mind, please don't get wrong impression.

    I ask this question not because I want to modify the code. Sheess...

    No one even suggested that, why are you so paranoid?

    Not taking a chance on your site linking to "bad neighborhoods".

    Perhaps a complete server-base co-op... Shawn?

    I understand that this requires more money.
