Today I noticed when I click a link a user has posted, it goes through a URL called "webgains". At first, I thought just one user did something odd, but now I see it's any link anyone posts. The link looks normal, and it goes to the site intended, but first goes through this webgains. So I looked and webgains is some affiliate program and I am wondering if someone hacked my site and added their own affiliate program to make money off of my site?! I certainly didn't add it. I only use Skimlinks, and I don't believe it's affiliated with webgains from what I can tell. Of course I notice this Friday after they are closed for the weekend and they have no email support on their site, only telephone. I tried to check for an account under my email but there is nothing. I want to shut this down ASAP but don't even know where to start. Ideas of if this could be some hack or where it is coming from?

Are you by chance using either one of these mods?

Nope. And I double checked my mods to see if anything new had been added and there's nothing. And there's no custom BB Codes added, either.

It might just be from SkimLinks

Quote:

Skimlinks already has existing relationships with major vendors such as Amazon.com, K-Mart, and Dell onboard, as well as major affiliate networks such as Affiliate Future, Affiliate Window, Google Shopping, Trade Doubler, Commission Junction, Webgains, Link Share, and Zanox.

Disable it for a moment, then click on one of the links, and see what happens.

Thank you - I could not find info like that anywhere and have never seen it do this before. Will check it now...

Ha ha, that was it.

I was hacked last month and thought I had been hacked again. Thank you for your help!!

Not a problem, glad that was it and not something else.
