What is TopText/ContextPro doing to the Forbes.com website?

The Saga Continues

More Info

AS WE'VE SEEN on the preceding page, TopTest/ContextPro is just as willing to desecrate links as it does plain text on your web sites. Here are clips from the Forbes web site of 8/9/2000. There are two cases where links specifically included by the Forbes site publishers for their visitors to use have been appropriated by TopText/ContextPro to take visitors elsewhere.

Does Forbes know they're advertising for an online casino? I suspect not.

No doubt there are plenty more cases than the five I have here. These are just the first five I found at this particular time.

I haven't gotten as fancy as I did on the previous page. This is getting tiring.

As before, the boxes with the ragged blue edges and text in red are my comments. Everything else is what actually appears on the page.

Two links created for the online casino Iwin.com:

Here the "Mortgages" link on this Forbes page is stolen.

Another stolen link. Also related to mortgages, but it's to an altogether different target.

Here the word "auto" links to an online car dealer. Can you imagine how many ways that word might appear on a site, and how many have nothing to do with cars?

Here's "small business" again.
