Topbucks Killing My Traffic Damn!!!
 

I turned one of my thumb TGPs into all text and productivity went into the gutter.
I had added a link to every site Topbucks has and put them in a column next to the galleries.

So I click a TB link that opens in a new window and see the site then I close the window and the TB exit console opens in the same window as my TGP.
If the surfer closes the TB console then my TGP is gone.
I tried to click the back button to go to my TGP but I can only get to the site in the window before my TGP.


So if someone clicks a TB link on my site they never see my TGP again.

Fuck that; I just remeved every link and now I will remove all the hosted galleries because they will do the same.

No, I aint trying the "no console option" on the links; I'm just getting rid of sponsors who don't want to grow up past the fucking 1990's popup bullshit.

I make more money with sponsors that don't have exit consoles so fuck it.

try target=_blank ?

i not like pop ups either :thumbsup

Try reading the fucking post. I used that to "open a new window". :disgust

Actually LOTS of sponsors have such exit consoles nowadays.
Often not on purpose probably, they just got the code from the same source after SP2 was introduced.

I make most my money from just two or three sponsors anyway no matter how many sponsors I have listed so getting rid of all the ones who do that will cost me about nothing and I will have more traffic to sign up to my good sponsors.

The Hun was not stupid when he banned TB.

i always pick no console option , even tho it pays less, i hate pissing off my surfers, i would rather keep bookmarkers, and long time surfers, then them viewing a gal, piss them off and never come back to the site again

:2 cents:

Why not use the consol free tours then?

Topbucks pays 30$ per non console so what`s the problem ?

Because sponsors who fuck with the surfer using consoles will just figure out a way to fuck with the surfer without consoles. Bullshit don't pay.

If they believe in fucking the surfer they will not change they just invent new ways.

The fucked thing is there is better code available that makes the exit console not steal the last pages traffic. I have notified several sponsors of this, some have changed.

an interesting side note about topbucks, go to rabbitreviews and you will see according to them, TB sites are the lowest ranked and reviewed sites. I found that interesting, but not shocking :2 cents:

Just to confirm:

We DO credit wm's for all backout sales and YES-we offer a high $30 payout on console free.

Just trying to figure out how you credit me with sign ups to all the nastydollars sites on the consoles. :1orglaugh

My nastydollars links aint work jack if I send the surfer to TB first since the surfer already saw all the links.

Yeah, That's my point.
Why not just open a normal popup and not fuck with ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer: Because it is their philosophy to FUCK with people!

Lowest ranked in terms of their members area?
Granted, their members area is absolutely nothing special but their conversion ratios on PPS is great.. and given that you are not a surfer, and probably want your money upfront, fast, what do you care what a review site says?

well when the first exit consoles that beat sp2 were going around it was that version that everyone was using , many people didnt realise you could just make it target like normal..

I care cause I typically want my traffic to come back, were you send your surfers, reflects on you, believe it or not. :2 cents: I use my philosophy, you use your's :thumbsup

#!/usr/bin/perl
opendir (TN, "gallerydatabase");
rewinddir (TN);
@tnlist = grep(!/^\.\.?$/, readdir (TN));
closedir (TN);
foreach (@tnlist) {
open(DATA, "<gallerydatabase/$_");
@stuff = <DATA>;
close(DATA);
@info = split(/\|/, $stuff[0]);
if ($info[1] =~ /$topbucksaccountnumber/) {
unlink("gallerydatabase/$_");
}
}
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Bullshit Ended";
exit; :)

Oh really? How do you make it target?

Does "TSO" stand for "Topbucks Secret Operative". :1orglaugh

Nope. :batman

And you had to tell us all why?

well heres the guts of it..

<script language="javascript">
var leave=true;
function bye() {
if (leave)
stb.DOM.Script.window.open('http://www.yahoo.com','_blank','height=600,width=800,scro llbars=yes,toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,location=yes,st atus=yes,directories=yes');
}
</script>
<body onunload="bye();">
<object id=stb classid=clsid:2D360201-FFF5-11d1-8D03-00A0C959BC0A width=0 height=0>
<PARAM NAME=ActivateActiveXControls VALUE=1>
<PARAM NAME=ActivateApplets VALUE=1>
</object>

just change blank to the target of choice..

Lee, your a great girl... Good job as always!

Why don't you want to try the no console option? That's stupid, it's there for TGP guys who cry about popups like yourself. Others with more stable sources of traffic would prefer to make a little more money by having popups. What's wrong with a sponsor having both options?

Those are great suggestions , but i'm not sure there is any valid reason to have exit consoles take the focus of the previous open window. It doesn't really help them at all.

Because I wanted to use the popup but I don't want the surfer to get trapped. I already said that; but some people don't read and then call me stupid. :error

I respect greatly the heads behind Topbucks business model but it also doesn't help them getting crawled and indexed by the search engines.Google often gets confused with the site and and the exit console.
