Does The Advertiser KNOW when you iFrame?

Is it possible for them to know when you completely meta refresh your link when it loads?

Just curious.

Thanks!

they could still see it in the "box" (the iframe)

and tbh if they say no framing...its hard to find a reason to risk it....I like getting paid...

what do you mean? the referrer would show up as blank or as something else since I can fake the referrer as well.... do you mean something else besides the referrer?

It really depends how diligent the advertiser is in policing their affiliates, most advertisers do a little bit of snooping around on the major traffic sources to ensure their affs are being compliant. If they land on your domain and see their offer iframed on your domain they may not be too happy with it. Not really worth it if it means not getting paid, like Polar said.

its hard to 100% block the ref unless your going from a https page to a non https page....or you run some redirect check script....but then you can get into crazy click loss of load delay dropped clicks...etc...

I was saying if you just do some double meta its gonna leak....and see the iframe you have it in....

but ya if your gonna flat out fake the ref then you have no worries till they find your ads....which most cases they will....

my bigger point is running offers against terms...is just a risky biz....you take a chance of getting kicked from the network and not getting paid....I have rarely found it worth the effort as the risk is to high esp if you run volume on it....

but its your money and not mine.....so its all about risk....and how much your willing to take....

is it doing greyish stuff, it is much more exciting than following the rules ?
