Jaaaane stop this crazy thiiiingggg

On Sundays we enjoy pondering many things; especially while we grocery shop and drive place to place doing our errands. this switch seeemed like something we could use around Entrecard these days.. I know.. I'm soooo baaaadddd. but somebody had to say it; so why not me, as usual.

Being that I'm a boomer, I love Ms. Jane Jetson. she does after all represent me. So For Today -  I'll Adopt My Ms Jane, and believe me - Ms Jane is NOT Amused with Entrecard; being that this is the future of blogging and all that other *grahamtoric.

The central theme today is still Entrecard. We wrote a piece today on EntrePOD all about the Pink Ribbon we have on our dashboard for this site.  and before you ask, it's Not For Decoration Daisy.

As All Of You Know Our friend Ms Daisy the curly cat starts all kinds of fashion trends on entrecard; (and we don't want her thinking we're tryin somethin on our own over here).

"Oh No Daisy,, it wasn't for decorating US. I Knoww.. A Totally Crazy Waste of Pink." (smh)

in the interest of time, I'll just repost it instead of linking to it.

Before I get started, let me say that this is just my experience as of recent;  and it is not hopefully an indication of the present state of Entrecard; nor a statement of what may become of Entrecard in the future.

several days ago, all of our sites were struck with a redirect bug. the bug worked it’s way across our self hosted platform of 4 blogs; as well as into our blogger hosted blog - BadGalSays. 5 blogs at once.


well in typical fastdraw fashion Entrecard posted a warning ribbon on my dashboard. I must admit the pretty pink was quite entertaining the first couple times I saw it; but as the problem has long been remedied and fixed – and I’ve contacted them to confirm the fix – Ms Jane wants to know why is it still there ?

Interesting indeed ..

Your blog currently has a “redirect” on it that sends users to a different site. Please review and correct the problem. Thank you.

Okay so I’ve written them more than 10 times to ask them to remove the ribbon; since I’ve rebuilt the site in question, sanitized it and it’s now working flawlessly - As You The Reader Can See.


This weekend while dropping ec's I’ve noticed several blogs, who are complaining of similar problems; for extended peroids of time as well. Ohh OOOOOOhhhhh This Is Noooot Goooood for a start up management co. who seemed eager to put Entrecard Back On It's Upright Legs. makes you wonder if they're at the beach with Graham..

obtw we add a new entrephrase to our vast list "grahamtoric" 
Grahamtoric: Rhetoric used on Entrecarders; by it's inventor Graham Langdon.

this leads us to ask the question – is anybody minding the store really ?

Helloooooooooo Entrecard,,, Fo Real Doh, Is Anybody Hooommmeeeee ???????????????????

More on the Redirect - Where did it start ?

Just So You Know...
I am the target of  some stupidity presently.
Why ?Well when you find out, tell me because I am not enjoying
finding 5 Websites All Hit With the same Redirect Bug.

I am working as fast as I can; Blogsite by site to change the templates
and try to find the bad file and fix it.  when you find an index.php
file which has been tampered with - you know that it's not your fault.

This is the work of some very small minded person,
and I hope that they see this and understand that I am
sending them ten times the karmatic energy that they sent to me.

Yes You Ass - Ten Times to You Anything YOU Wish To ME.

hopefully I will have my sites all cleaned up by tomorrow and reopened.

Please know that whatever this is - I have nothing to do with it.

I have more facts to add to the picture

this all started yesterday from the log
this is where the first site sent me   //www.city-facts.com/q.php?affiliate=eclickbuy-timeppc&source=abc&query=Fast%20Easy%20Loan&adword=%7CFast%20Easy%20LoanABCYP - q.php

http://www.city-facts.com/q.php?affiliate=eclickbuy-timeppc&source=abc&query=Fast%20Easy%20Loan&adword=%7CFast%20Easy%20LoanABCYP

Very Interesting since I never searched for anything loan related.

ooookkkkkk,,, next on the history list is this site which followed next in the history list

//www.addresses.com/redirect.php?ReportType=44&refer=2467&qbc=Fast&geoIP=1&adword=eclickbuy-timeppc%7CFast%20Easy%20Loan

aaahhhhhh again we see this Fast Easy Loan.  the referal and affiliate info are shown so that gives us something to work with when we contact these companies.  oh certainly we will be contacting them.

then we hit this site which seems to be the referring site to these sites listed above - a spamhouse no doubt.
look at this - Yellowpages.. aaahhh we're getting somewhere now. they have money, so filing a claim against them is possible. ;)


//www.addresses.com/yellow-pages/category:Fast/location:Clinton+Township,MI/listings.html?PHPSESSID=76b5eed2d039df6e6e5bd173cd5745ae


This is the site which starts the chain of events - this is where we think it originally started, but it's hard to say as this site is non reachable directly. even blocking them in my browser didn't stop the redirect. Deep..

//www.asklots.com/jump2/?affiliate=eclickbuy&subid=timeppc&terms=fast%20easy%20loan

Again we have this eclick to buy business and fast easy loan. Get It ? I Do.

Somewhere on my surfing adventure I picked up this lil friend - so All My Friends are now being mistreated by these mischieveous assholes. not nice at all.

Something tells me that if I keep looking I'll locate the source of this Whole Problem...
Hmmmm, what do you think - should we keep looking ?  I Think So,

//hegeeks.com/blogging/best-free-wordpress-theme-flexibility-theme.html

Ah Ha ! we downloaded a theme the other nite when we couldn't fix a problem with ours. well the trail starts there to the outside. this is after I was done dropping so I am basically ruling out any of the sites I visited on my card dropping on Wednesday 07/22/09.

so one way or another this must be the source of the start of the problem.
it spread someway from our editing and writing to each of the blogs we worked on.
Strange Indeed.  we shut down greasemonkey tonite to find out which pages are effected.
the redirect is on this page still - but all the others seem to be free of it.

tonite I change this template as I've already done of my three other effected blogs. yes three.. so you know there was no time for dropping, or writing. just working on this mess.

I also think something in our browser is connected to this as well.

PLEASE - If You were Redirected When you got here, Please Leave Me A  Commentand that will tell me how it's effecting my visitor count, and if others are having this problem still, since I cleaned up my page twice in the last 24 hrs.
