okay, check this out - I want to know what this guy is doing but I'm not exactly sure how to do it.

Here's the deal. Go to this stupid site - Project Payday - Realistic Extra Income for the Average Joe , then click back on your browser to leave the page.....

Takes you to Work At Home Watchdog - Work From Home Consumer Protection .

How can I incorporate this on one of my sites?

I found the follwoing line of code in the source, but I don't know if there's another part I need to make this work.

}

function exitpop () {

if (leaving == 1) {

window.location = 'http://www.wahwatchdog.org/adm/payday';

}

}


This is a pretty sneaky trick and I think you could kick some Adsense ass with something like this on a high traffic site. Visitors would eventually get pissed and just click on a link (adsense) to leave the little web you've stuck them in.

Is this something that could get you banned from Adsense?

Even if I don't use Adsense, it's still something I'd like to experiment with.

Anyone with some coding knowledge care to help a code retard out with this one?

Late.
 


Yes, fucking with the back button is a TOS violation, AFAIK.

I figured it wasn't something that Google would like.

Also, it isn't just the back button, it's when you try to leave the page. If you enter another URL and try to leave it takes you to that site as well.
 
OK guys, the HOW is easy:

Take this in the body tag:

Code: 
 <body  [B]onload="leaving=true;" onunload="return exitpop()"[/B]>

And the snippet from above in a script block


Code: 
 function exitpop () {

    if (leaving == 1) {

        window.location = 'http://www.wahwatchdog.org/adm/payday';

        }

And you are set.

However, this is not only against Google TOS, it is also annyoing as fuck.

I would not really recommend using it. :xomunch:

Thanks man.

I'm just going to play around with it a little.:)

It is annoying as hell, but that's why it got my attention.

Here's my question though, if my traffic to the page I put the code on isn't coming from Adwords, would Google realize (or even care) that the traffic I am sending to the 2nd page (with Adsense maybe?) is coming from this little trick?

I wouldn't put Adsense on the page with the code, just on the page the code takes the visitor to.

Hmmm....

Thoughts?
 
How do you come to the conclusion that they will not know WHERE your visitors come from?

Easy to figure out, IMHO.

If you've got AdSense on it, they'll find out. If you're sending AdWords to it (I think this might also be against AdWords TOS), they'll find out. Just put it on a ton of blackhat sites and link spam if you really want to test it out that bad. Or just do it like normal, but don't put AdSense on it - put little pictures of AdSense on it, and test your CTR yourself.

I didn't come to that conclusion.......I said:

I was asking if they would know (I assume they would, it's easy to track), and I was also asking if they would care?

I'd only be putting the Adsense on the second page that the trapped visitors are sent to.

Why should Google care where my traffic is coming from?

Yeah, I unerstand that. That's why I would only put Adsense on the second page and would never send Adwords to the page that the actual trap code is on.

I wonder, if you're not doing either of these things, would anyone even notice? Aside from maybe a few stupid visitors too dumb to figure out how to get out of the "trap".

I was more thinking out loud with the Adsense idea anyway. I'm not a big Adsense person, my Google checks are usually around $200/month.

I've already put the little trick to work though on a poker/gambling site I have, redirecting visitors who try to leave the site to a CPA offer that pays $3.50 per signup.

3 conversions with 77 visitors today, so it's made me $10 bucks today that I wouldn't have made otherwise.

I like it because it's kind of like an exit pop-up.



1999 called, they want their trick back.

LOL. I here ya. That's what I thought the minute I ran across it, but it's worked okay today and I might try it on another site or 2 in the next few days.

That said, I would never use it on a site where I was trying to build a "sticky" site, becuz it's frickin' annoying. However on some of my sites with more random or throw-away traffic I like it.:anon.sml:
 
rsnake had the same kinda idea as this. if a user clicked the back button after coming from a google serps page, give him a fake google serps with 3rd tier ppc ads posing as real google serps. didn't try it though
