Hi,

Without jumping to the gun, could you elaborate on your findings please?

Is it an older problem, stemming back a couple of years, whereby they continued to highlight / block their cookies?

spywareblaster used to block tradedoubler a couple of years ago but recently this seemed to be lifted. They are definitely now blocked again. I had to remove blocking to access the tradedoubler site.

for the past two years from what i understand they are "banned" on spywareblaster i know it because i have spywareblaster active on everything for IE browser whereas for firefox i customize it accordingly -and thus test from times to times-

from this "tests" as well as from my users i found uselly LS, CJ and TD "blocked" by this application... for LS and CJ i understand it but for TD??? i would suggest to TD to take the CJ approach and use different tracking links from times to times in order to overcome this issue.

and i suggest this as i can see TONS of CJ different tracking links to be blocked all the time...

Do all the Merchants use different tracking links for the call back on CJ? If they don't and they all use the standard call back link then it won't make a difference if CJ use different URLs for Affiliates, all they are doing is making sure the traffic gets to the Merchant but if the merchant has the standard call back link then this will still be blocked by such software and no sales will be recorded, bet no one has ever looked in to that as you can't see the call back link as visible like a standard link.

All CJ links resolve back to their orginal format, so there was no real point in them changing their links. Also all callback codes are from the original domain.

This is one reason why I alway choose a different network to TD or CJ if another network has the same program. There are lots of apps that treat TD and CJ cookies as 'bad' and delete them.
