First time I've seen that. Other than affiliate links, I have no idea.

I'll ask around...

Thank you for the help. This was been happening for a couple of weeks. I have heard a couple of other people say it is happening also.

Can you give us some examples of links that have done this for you? We can't replicate the problem here (everything seems fine from our end)

Sounds like Malware to me... might wanna install Malwarebytes and run it on your system.

I get it from all of the links that lead out of VaperJoes and about 90% of the links on VU. Links that stay on VU work fine, I was also able to follow Pami's link to here blog without a problem. But links to sites for vendors, ebay, or links to sites like vape 101 all get the redirect page. I use Kyspersky on my computer so I will try running a full scan and see if it finds anything.

This is the page I end up on http://go.redirectingat.com/?rdrflb=1

Here is a direct copy of what the page states.

If you’ve landed on this page, you may be wondering exactly what it’s all about.

We’re Skimlinks — a service that helps online publishers earn money.

When links in publishers’ content lead their users to click through and buy from an online retailer, we make sure they’re rewarded!

We aim to make our service seamless and unobtrusive, so your user experience should not be interrupted. If you’ve landed on this page and didn’t mean to, unfortunately you’ve most likely clicked on a broken link along the way. Links can be broken if they are badly formatted; if you spot any again, we’d advise reporting these to the site owner.

I went through Joe's deals here and never ran across this at all. I know Tyger and Joe also went through and landed where they were supposed to. Curious what you find after a scan. Good luck!
