Blocking direct traffic (8)

Blocking direct traffic

Some of my LPs have been getting reported as phishing attacks because I'm dynamically inserting the URL on my landers (with disclaimers). Does anyone have a code snippet/script that will block or redirect traffic not coming through your tracking URL?

I'm using CPVLab to track. Robert and I went back and forth over this issue previously and his solution was something that required the LP to be on the same domain as the CPVLab install, which is not ideal.

ya

just block anything that doesn't have a keyword attached

but I would correct why they are getting reported in the first place

Reported as phishing attacks by whom and to who? I dont think some average user will report it, probably an affiliate / competition..

It's not that easy. People email the entire CPVLab url (i.e. http://domain.com/lp.php?target=site.com), so the check needs to done via php or javascript.

Other people are running this style lander, maybe I'm just unlucky.

I've had it happen to me as well. Just register a new domain and move on. Get a .info for $3 and it's no big deal. The people that complain are happy the site is gone, and you get to keep sending traffic.

I know this says it's for hotlinking but it should work for you, if I am understanding your question right.

I am confused by this statement....so explain a few thing better and lets see if we can help (btw if I had to get guess your running credit reports )

1) is your tracking domain getting reported? or the landing page?
2) what is the ppv network?

answer those 2 and I will see what I can come up with

when doing ppv, if your relying on 1 domain for your campaign, your doing it all wrong in regards to issues like this
