Traffic Exchange Exposed

2009-03-26 At 11:32: – Traffic Wonderland I stopped surfing here again. I got the goofy automatic JavaScript form submission page. I hop this TE gets wise and stops using this highly dangerous form of getting people to subscribe tot heir list.

2009-03-25 At 21:50: – My E Traffic I just joined this TE – I have to view 5 pages before I can put a URL into rotation – Since I check stats after 200 pageviews it is going to be a while before I will be going back onto the members area to store My URL.

2009-03-25 At 19:52: – Emazing Hits I have tosurf 15 pages before I can enter a URL for exchange rotation – Pain in the ass! It willbe a while before I get back here to enter the URL inthe syustem since I only log in every 200 pageviews. Oh Well!

2009-03-25 At 08:57: – The Hit Devil I just do not understand what some of these “Webmasters” are doing these days. This is some really stupid shit! I came accross another Traffic Exchange giving a blank page after the login. Here is the HTML:

BEGIN:::
<script language=”JavaScript1.2″>
<!–
function resizeOuterTo(w,h) {
if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>3) {
if (navigator.appName==”Netscape”) {
top.outerWidth=w;
top.outerHeight=h;
}
else top.resizeTo(w,h);
}
}
var loc = “surf.php?sb=&cash=&”;
if (screen.width==800||screen.height==600) { //if 800×600
resizeOuterTo(800,600);
location.replace(loc+”&ri=800″);
}
else if (screen.width==640||screen.height==480) {
resizeOuterTo(640,480);
location.replace(loc+”&ri=800″);
}
else {
resizeOuterTo(1024,768);
location.replace(loc);
}
//–>
</script>
:::END

This is the complete code! There is no structure for the page. In other words, no HTML, TITLE, META, or BODY tags. It is just a piece of JavaScript trying to resize the browser frame while doing a redirect. Not only that, the code is looking for a window resolution on my computer that does not exist.

I do not know what to say about stuff like this. It is like all the RFC standards (the important stuff) is being thrown out the window when it comes to coding a Traffic Exchange. More and more I am seeing a trend that will cause Traffic Exchange Members/Users to stop using them. Crap coding like the above example gives the whole “Industry” a bad name.

I will say it again. If you are not catching these types of errors in coding while using Traffic Exchanges you are opening yourself up to serrious computer problems. Do not let this type of abuse happen on your computer. Shut it down! Set up your browser so it will not happen.

Let me know what you think! If there is something here you do or don’t agree with respond with a comment. Tell me about it!

Take Care,
Phil
