Ad companies hotlinking key words in photo text

[PolaroidSky]

I've noticed ad companies hotlinking words pertinent to brand names within the text accompanying my photographs and hotlinking to sell items and I have to say I'm more than disgusted by this... any explanation as to how/why this is allowed?

Can you send me links to where this is happening?

Thanks

Marcus

The word creative is linked to a site selling webcams... (I am in Rome as I typr though I doubt that has anything to do with it Marcus)n I will have a search through my shots to see if I can find any more examples...

I don't see it.


Are you using your own computer or someone else's? (Internet cafe etc)

If you're on your own I would run something like Spybit S&D to rule out malware being on your computer: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

Not using my own, my partners... I will check with Spybot... glad you are not seeing it... thanks for the info : )

I ran Spybot... hotlink still there... : S Oh well, as long as the whole world does not see these ads... not a fan of being an involuntary cog in the capatalistic wheel!
