So I was on JetPunk from chrome today and something weird happened. Without even pressing the ad, it wanted to redirect me to a site called rdxgo.click, but thankfully I have anti redirection settings, but still it was annoying as it lagged my phone and I had to close JetPunk. This incident happened twice. Writing this in Firefox where I have uBlock....
Actually it managed to redirect me to a site called sweepvibe.buzz, but thankfully urlvoid doesn't detect anything on that.
Unfortunately there's not much to be done, since all the ads are being served up by a third party.
Secondly, let me explain. We use a service provider that prevents this stuff from happening. However, it was configured incorrectly by our ad consultant, and we lost 30% of our ad revenue for 2 weeks.
We temporarily disabled the provider yesterday because of the lost revenue. I'll try to get a status update.
Hopefully this issue will be fixed soon.
I'm actually pretty angry that we appear to have lost 30% of our revenue for the last two weeks.
(that should get you premium for the next three years) :)
Let's say an irresponsible person visited the website, and it also happened to give a 404 error.
And yes, while urlvoid doesn't directly detect anything, scam detector has an incredibly low trust rating of like 10/100, as it is very new and most likely associated with phishing or malware anyway...
We'd rather serve no ad then serve an ad for a low rate.
