My site got jacked! (11)

My site got jacked!

I didnt know where to post this, so sorry if its the wrong section.

SO.. I submit a campaign today to POF & it gets rejected (ok im used to that part lol)

but then i look to see why & guess what i find. It got rejected because of the landing page!

BUT i never sent it to a landing page, I wanted to direct link it. (thats how i set it in POF PRO)

So i check the link (which by the way has my domain in it)

after you click on it it redirects to a different domain, thats where the adult lander is & goes to a different offer.

My question is How did this happen?? did they jack my hosting account or my pof pro account or what??

It's because the lander you ripped contains JS code to redirect to the owner's own site

@seank Nope! I made that lander myself from scratch, and everything was kosher until today.

In pof pro when I use the check click thru url .. it redirects to this other persons site. just happened today or last night.

What site to it get taken to? Did it go through an aff link. If so post the link and we can track down the aff for ya .

@mrGreen if you can that would be cool, but even better I would love to know how in the world this happened?

here is the site it redirects to:

http://txt-hotties.pinayxposed.com/?...%3A9%3A%3A5530

this is at the end of my link in POF PRO : mydomain.com/tracking/landing-page.php?ppid=xxxxxx&adid=10

heres is how it went:

I grabbed this offer from peerfly & wanted to test it
so I just downloaded the banners & was going to direct link it.

I create the campaign in POF PRO & then I submit it. It gets declined because it was going to an adult lander. (that wasnt mine)

All im asking is how is this possible?

1. 100% sure your domain is correct, no typos? (seems silly but could be redirect traffic).
2. Watch your HTTP headers. Is it actually going your domain -> redirect to peerfly aff link -> some new page.
3. Is this just a geo-redirect...? i.e. you're going straight to your affiliate URL from a country NOT allowed for that offer so it's bouncing you elsewhere. If so, give yourself a noobie star sticker.

Part 3 of Zeno's post would be my bet! You need to go to hidemyass.com is and throw up a proxy for the country the offer is for to check out the foreign links sometimes. That freaked me out really bad the first time I got redirected to some "text to flirt" lander instead of my 40+ or whatever I was trying to run.

Yup chalk me up for the same #3 noobness, realized it was cuz im in canada and it was a US offer.

Hahaha sorry I should laugh, I've been in this kerfuffle before.

@zeno 1. I didnt change any links to my landers
2. i dint change anything that was working before
3. thanks for explaining to me what a geo redirect is lol really i didnt know so thank you (thats the reason pofpro support gave me as well) but offer is ok in USA.

But a funny thing happened last night. There was a POf Pro software update. And now everything is working fine.
Thats weird because i didnt change anything, like i said before. I didnt change any links. So it couldnt be my mistake


I just added a new campaign & grabbed my aff link from peerfly & put it into pofpro

So what im thinking is.. it has to be a software glitch that was resolved.


thanks everyone for replying to my thread, thats why i joined this forum. I really appreciate it & im learning alot
