Cookie-Stuffing Targeting rapidsatellite.com
Cookie-Stuffing Targeting Major Affiliate Merchants - Ben Edelman

This page reports cookie-stuffing by smartqpon.com, targeting rapidsatellite.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.smartqpon.com/RapidSatellite_coupons.asp page was #1 in Google results for "rapidsatellite 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.focus();
setTimeout("window.focus()",1000);
try { var sq=window.open('http://www.qksrv.net/click-979227-10285729','sq');sq.blur();}
catch (e) {}
</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.
