Cookie-Stuffing Targeting Napster.com
Cookie-Stuffing Targeting Major Affiliate
Merchants - Ben Edelman
This page reports cookie-stuffing by coupons-online-coupon.com, targeting Napster.com. In my testing, this is but one of many affiilate web sites targeting this and other merchants.
As of November 4, the http://www.coupons-online-coupon.com/napster_coupons/ page was #30 in Google results for "napster coupon" (without quotes). The specified URL included the following JavaScript code, which opened a CJ tracking link in a new window (as a popup):
<script language="javascript">
window.open('http://www.qksrv.net/click-1167113-8353202','mywindow','width=100,
height=50, location=yes, menubar=yes, status=yes, toolbar=yes, scrollbars=yes,
resizable=yes');
</script>
I captured the resulting on-screen display in a video (WindowsMedia format, view in Full Screen mode). I also preserved a full packet log of these findings.
