    I've seen this in a page view, and I have clicked the link that goes to Global Blaster,

    so what does the first link do?
    why is it there?
    Whats the gain?

    <td><a href="h**p://www.clickevolution.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="h**p://www.globalblaster.net/" target="_blank">Global
    Blaster</a></td>

    To be honest, I believe it's either A) Bad programming or B) Some sneaky way of adding to the count of outbound links on a site... which in theory, would gain the website owner nothing.

    Given that it's anchors off-site in TD with TARGET attributes, it's most likely just really poorly written code. Really, REALLY, REALLY poorly written code... at least 15 years out of date in practices at that!

    Badly written code, they're just putting another <a> for no goddamn reason. It might be to to with margins and padding but to be honest that's the wrong way about doing it.

    Turns out from the OP's other thread it IS tabular data... with an extra anchor in there for nothing.... though it was poorly written with classes on everything and EVERYTHING in TD... as in no CAPTION, TH, THEAD, TBODY, SCOPE, etc, etc...

    First link used to go clickevolution.com site and login to this site.
    Site has tool to generate traffic to site.
    Put this line first so first user go to clickevolution and then redirected to main site.
    So main site get more traffic from user site.
    Like user are track and save by clickevolution and then clickevolution send this user to main site often.
