Something I saw last evening was very peculiar. Someone wrote that they had linked to me from a page on their site - a page with people doing a particular service in a certain geographic location - and asking for a return link.
I went to check their links out and what I saw in the bar on the bottom with each link I clicked was what looked like Google mediapartners in between when the linked URL first showed up and when the linked-to page loaded. It looked like the links were being redirected - actually through the AdSense ads somehow.
I can't figure it out, I've not seen it before, and it happened so fast you had to really look to see it, but it sure did look like the links were being redirected through the AdSense links.
I had to bring it up, because either it's normal and I've just missed ever seeing it, or something fishy is going on.
