My domain is redirecting by itself!

[BrandChimp]

Hi, I own CoolRecorder.com.
Its parked with Bodis.

But when you access the name, it shows the bodis parking page but after 1 second it redirect you to some unsafe website...

Its the first time I see that with a domain.

What you think?

 

[Ted.T]

Just checked it. Nothing strange, I got only the parking page.

maybe its something to do with my ISP

even tried with IE,Chrome and Firefox.

All 3 redirect me to "appround.biz"

---

Can't even access it with hidemyass.com. The request is too large.

Could be a problem with the old DNS and Time to update world wide?
more than a week?

Clear your cache and see if that happens again.

I've just clreared the cache of all 3 again and still redirecting the name.

See picutre:

looks like a Virus but, its the only domain I have problems with.

I don't think it could be your ISP, you might have some malware on your computer. If you have another computer, see if it happens, if it does not then it is most likely malware on the one you are using.

I don't have any other problems with my browsers. Its only with that name.

I have NOD32 Internet Security With MalwareBytes RealTime protections.

I just tried with my Tablet and it dose the same thing.

I just entered your domain name and got redirected to another page in about half a second. So maybe it has something to do with Bodis? I did not get the warning that it was an unsafe page. The second time I tried it redirected me to a different page.
http://www.appround.biz/lp/codecperformer/g2/?cid=3921&clickid=0048527785442994597

I don't park with Bodis, but from what I saw watching the URL redirect, maybe they are trying something new. I think you are fine, nothing to worry about.

Maybe I will contact them but it looks like a "hack"

It automaticly add: ?framerequest= to the domain.

I have never heard of anything like that happening before. If you do find that it is a hack be sure to let everyone know about it and how it happened.

If I am seeing it on my end, it has nothing to do with you or your computers. You are fine. The most likely scenario is that is happening via Bodis. I don't think they got hacked, but if for some reason they did, you can just change your DNS to another parking company.

What is strange is its only happening for one name.

I emailed them.

I was really surprised the first time.

Afaik, Google may not always return ads due to unknown reasons. I've seen the same with my domains as well. It seems that bodis system is checking did the visitor receive 1-click ads (so it first intents to shown normal lander), and, if not, it redirects to zero-click no-google advertisers. The destination may or may not be "safe", which itself is another story. I'd suggest Bodis to try to convert the lander to 2-click lander for this particular visitor instead and/or in rotating mode to find what works better for this exact domain

Doesn't redirect when I try it so I would cast my vote on malware as well. Or if you've installed "free" software you might have gotten one of those adware things that do all kinds of nasty things.

 

[JB Lions]

It's zero click. Some of the places they go to look iffy, download pages and not so good pages. What tony said.

 

[Ray]

i got ridirected as well. I do not believe it is a malware issue. Did Bodis respond?

 

[Bannen]

It is definitely Zero Click; when I type in your url I am redirected to expedia.ca, which is appropriate since I am in Canada. So Bodis is using zero click to redirect from your site to an advertiser's site. It won't happen to everyone who checks your site, it uses certain criteria and redirects a portion of visitors based on those criteria.

As tonyk2000 mentioned above, the zero click redirect is fine, a standard practice these days and not malware. If you notice the redirect takes you to a website you've heard something 'bad' about, you can mention this to Bodis, who should mention this to their zero click ad service, who should investigate that advertiser.

Here's a brief excerpt about zc:

Zero Click is a form of internet marketing that is growing in popularity more and more everyday. What zero click does is takes any traffic rather it be by type in or links that are linked to the website or domain and automatically redirects that traffic to an advertisers website. There is no clicking of a banner or text link involved in this process. The user who types the domain in or clicks on the link on another website or search engine is automatically redirected to the advertisers website before they even realize what is exactly going on.

Wowo Thank You all!

The first website I got redirected 3 times before I'm asked to download a "pluggin" with the flash media logo...
That's sounds like a Malware or something.

I'm still waiting for the email from bodis.

Sedo do that as well, I had the same issue few days ago, with two adult domains I park there.

This is the answer I got after I contacted support:

"Your domain is sometimes monetized by our Zero-Click parking monetizing model depending on the incoming traffic."
...
"For more information on Zero-Click please put the keyword “Zero Click” in the search field of our FAQ section:
https://www.sedo.co.uk/faq/faq.php "

and...
"If you want to opt out from this feature, just send us an email."

So the Zero Click is turned on by default and you can't turn it off manually (at least on Sedo)
Of course, I ask them to opt me out.

I want buyers to see that the name is for sale.
So I don't understand why they add the Zero-Click ads without asking domain owners before..

Thank you for the help
