    Only visitors from that site were redirected to the FBI site.

    It was a site where you paid to 'Get the secret to get free products through Clickbank'. Of course there answer was to buy products, then click there link and ask for a refund!! So Clickbank redirected the visitors from that site to the FBI web site. :D

    I think it works by saying referrers from MSN.com go here on my site - the here being a page you quickly knock up about Chat suppliers, some content and lots of AdSense. There are plenty here who could help with it. Where as anyone on your site just clicks the link as normal.

    I find this very fascinating, but I'm at quite a loss as to why this would happen. I have a hunch this is temporary, and just a glitch in MSN's rankings. How long have you been ranked this high? just a few days?

    I've been ranked for this since Monday now. The traffic really isn't immense. If I'd been trying to get the listing I would be gutted. Your talking considerably lower than 100 per day, but it was enough for me to have to close down the support App on Tuesday:p

    I doubt William Martin can do anything about it. The url is Boldcenter's, not his. William Martin, you might wanna contact BoldCenter and get them to block spiders on their applet pages.
