TopBucks

Got this from another mgs board what are your thoughts?

TopBucks Cookie & Pop Under Scam

If there was ever a program that points up how fair the ARS exit console system is to webmasters it?s the equally unfair TopBucks ENTRY console system.

We recently tried out Topbucks, but found that their stats site places a cookie on webmaster browsers that blocks the entry console chain from appearing to webmasters.

You can visit their sites all day long and think ?this is great, no exit consoles?.

However, if you delete that cookie, and the cookies for the individual TopBucks sites, you then get a POP UNDER entry console on TopBucks sites, featuring dozens of other links, none of which the webmaster get a share of. Not one single other Topbucks site in the pop under. This then spawns an aggressive series of other pop ups, pop unders and full screens! Exits are one thing, but pop under ENTRY consoles that steal the surfer right off the top are way over the line!

Ackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. We sent them 6,000 click without a sale until we finally started looking into what was happening with cookies and so forth!
