    Whats people opinion on this site - http://www.business-talk.co.uk/ It appears to be running Coop ads and some other link network which would violates the TOS of Coop.

    Yeah, It looks like it's using two networks...

    Have to wait for Shawn to say either way though...

    They could all be the webmasters sites using a script to pull random links instead of displaying them all at once.

    I don't think Coop ads will validate with most other ad networks being present so I doubt they are getting credit if thats the case.

    I suspect with the live link they will soon be posting to this thread once they look at their logs.

    "I don't think Coop ads will validate with most other ad networks being present..."

    Why not? How can anyone programmatically detect that another ad network is present?

    I have no idea - I'm not a programmer but I have seen 3 posters complaining about validation issues and they were given an answer of "You are running such and such ads"

    As far as this particular case, Shawn will be online in the next hour or two most likely and put it to rest.
