Calling all elottery affiliates - 302 website hijacking

Postby Bucky on Sat Nov 15, 2008 4:59 pm

Calling all elottery affiliates, recently I have had a problem with some of my domains, which are forwarded to my VWD elottery affiliate link, being hijacked.
I am no expert on this, but i will try and briefly explain what happens. If you use simple framed web forwarding, as most of us do, and as are instructed to do so by our elottery training videos, to forward your domain name to your elottery affiliate page, or squeeze page or whatever. You may be at risk from this same problem I am experiencing.

302 hijacking is a problem that occurs in google and MSN search engines.
Firstly let me stress that this is usually something that happens accidentally in a mix up with the google bots that scan our sites, But it can be used by experienced webmasters to hijack any url that you have forwarded using the 302 forwarding technique, which as i said, i think most of us do.

I noticed this when i was searching for one of my sites on google. This will only apply to you if your url is indexed by google.
When you search for your site i.e. http://www.yourdomain.com you would expect your domain to be the first one that shows up. And hopefully if youve ever done this before, you would know if it appears on number 1, or maybe just on the first page.

Now when i searched for my domian in google, i.e. http://www.yourdomain.com, where i usually saw my domain at number 1 on google, i saw an elottery website, pointing to someone else's affiliate link.
After a bit of reasearch i found out my domain had been hijacked. Or maybe to put it more politically correct, redirected.

you can read an article on it here. http://www.seoconsultants.com/articles/1000/pagejacking.asp

or a more in depth article on it here http://clsc.net/research/google-302-page-hijack.htm

I later found out 5 of my urls had been hijacked. 3 to the same persons elottery account, and 2 seem to have been removed by google, some say this is to cover up.

speaking to a member of my team, we found out his domain had also been hijacked, and pointing to someone else's affiliate account.

Remember this only affects the google and MSN search results, and isn't actually affecting the direct forwarding of my domains when keyed into the address bar.

So, I urge all elottery affiliates, with domains being forwarded, please check your google search results for your domain as ive outlined above. If you find strange results. Please get in touch, by leaving a reply here. Or by sending me a private message. or by emailing me at buckyuk_uk@yahoo.com
