Heisted Links?

I just saw something interesting. I saw an author's webite in a promo I get via e-mail. (Okay, so I've cut back! But, I'm still reading too much e-mail.)

When I clicked through, rather than pull up the erotic romance author's website, I was forwarded to an anti-porn site. Seeing as how the author would want to sell books (which aren't porn, but are erotic romance), I assume this isn't their choice.

Has anyone else ever seen this happen? How can a website pirate a link like that?

    Now that's interesting. I'd say it wasn't a coincidence either.

    I've never had that happen to me. If it was something that happened to you link rather than just an internet burp (which does happen from time to time) my guess would be the heister managed to redirect the heistee's domain.

    When I first bought my domain name, rather than having it pointing directly at something, I had it set to redirect. Maybe the heister managed to do this?

    Could be... but didn't redirect from Google when I searched there, just the e-mail. It has me curious, but not so much I wanted to research the more techy sites! Last time I did that I waded through all these forums before I found an answer I didn't really need anyway. LOL.

    We all link stuff here in bloggerland and there is nothing to stop me from typing Amazon.com and then linking to Barnes&Noble. I'm sure there is something just as easy to do with emails.

    I see what you mean. That wasn't the case this time, the link lead to the author's URL, but it forwarded to this other domain. i could see that happening, couldn't stop it though.

    I heard about that white house one bringing this one up. Talk about a way to get visitors to a porn site!

My Favorite Things

Thirteen of My Favorite Things Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens.... I love watching and singing along to a great musical. When I was a kid I used to run about singing like life was a musical. People would ask me what I was singing, but I was just making it up as I went. And I love dancing. I talked my mother into letting me take ballet lessons for a little while. But I wasn’t graceful and my ballet teacher didn’t have very liberal thoughts on teaching children. If you sucked, she let you know. But, she couldn’t ever accuse me of not enjoying dancing. All my favorite songs are either on soundtracks, or are great story like “Desperado” by the Eagles. Listing thirteen favorites might be the subject of another Thursday Thirteen. Some of the movie songs I’ve listened to while typing today: Da Funk by Daft Punk on The Saint soundtrack and #1 Crush by Mundy on the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack. Writing. I can get lost in writing. I love creating stories and characters. Apparently e
