Ok I am writting this entry because it has spun up at Namepros.com one member has said Paid traffic is usually not all that great. The member was not speaking about Google, Yahoo, etc.. all Tier one companies, he was refering to Tier 3-10 companies. One in practiular that caught my attention was Engineseeker.com I have a proxy network so I serve popunders which I don’t see why ppl should surf my proxies for free. They are not bogged down with ads after ads after ads. They are served ONE pop over which they can close and it will NOT come back and ONE pop under when they go to another page. Easy enough no harm done. Well I looked at one of the pop unders it served me and it was coming from Engineseeker.com so I looked over the ad they were server and was not really interested in the ad they servered me and I was about to hit the good ole X button
then I scrolled all the way down and saw a little Iframe at the bottom.
I then proceded to see what the hell they would be serving in an IFRAME on a pop under. Well HELL they are serving a 0% by 0% ads which means NO ONE will see the ads they are serving in the Iframe. But they are SELLING the impressions. Why this has amazed is because I am a member of a few sites who sell traffic. It is suppose to be “real” traffic, I guess you can call it “real” but if they are doing it at a 0% then no one will ever see my advertisements.
Do you want proff on this
well here it is right in the pudding. So here are two screen shots of the Page and at the Bottom left you will see two boxes
those are the 0% Iframes. So I decided to do a right click and go to View Page Source and see the actual links… so I decided to put those into a webpage with 100% views and went through about 200 refreshes to make sure none of my sites showed up. Thank god none did. I am not a victim of their iframe games. They are just ripping off their advertisers.
