    Again talking about the Hitwise Seminar yesterday.

    There was a nice little slide that drew a few smerks from the variety of affiliates there ...

    The slide showed the top destinations that a user visits after using the keyword "amazon" in their search.

    About 5th down the list was tv.180solutions.com with 0.69%.

    You may not think that that's a big amount, but when you think they're 5th for the second biggest brand search in the uk (after eBay) then you start worrying, and when you also think that amounts to somewhere near 1,000,000 searches a month (I think) just in the UK, then you've seriously got to worry about the impact that spyware is having.

    If I wasn't so bloody nackered I would have asked the panel, why do you think there are strong rumours that tradedoubler actively encourage merchants to use spyware companies and why there are also rumours that CJ have a significantly weaker stance than most other networks?

    The guy from Kelkoo was promoting tradedoubler, I wonder if he's aware of the impact that spyware could be having on his business???

    An odd thing about that 180 url is that it leads to a page that just says:

    "hello world" - and that's all that is in the source!

    To achieve so much traffic from so simple a page suggests that perhaps we are all doing this SEO lark completely wrong!

    I take my hat off to them
