Net.net??

[sasquatch]

Ok Net.net went to an Italian company for 100k recently, but how come now all non-existing .net typos end up picked up by Net.net??? In other words if you mistype non-existing .net domain it will land at Net.net ppc pages? Nice, eh?

This is what Netsol used to do? Microsoft still does it with .com IE, while Net.net does it cross-platform as long as non-existing domain typed ends with .net

But how is this happening in this case? What's going on here? What is Net.net? Who are these Italians getting all this massive redirected traffic? And why???

Not here.

Not here.

What do you get?

I'm on Mac X, tried all three browsers on my machine (Safari, FFox & IE) and that's what I'm getting whether I type www or not. It is not just today, it's been like that for a little while.

Wow.......

I tried it to and msn getting it. , and not net.net

I tried ggruappitnring.net
and www.ggruappitnring.net

both get msn not found

is that what you mean, unreged .net?

I just get no page. Sure you don't have some kind of softare installed on your PC by net.net or the domains you're typing in aren't just owned by net.net?

Hmmm, I don't believe so, because this machine is only few days old. Beside I don't thinlk they target Mac users with things like that, do they?

Can anybody with Apple Mac OS Tiger also confirm or dispute my "findings"? Thanks.

Yes, unreged .net.

And yes, I still get net.net clicking on that link above, or typing it into my browsers

:huh:

I'm at an internet cafe using Win98SE and I get page not found for unregged .nets. I think you have spyware installed.

Guys, we already established that pc Windows machines don't have this issue. Thanks.

What I am trying to find out now is whether anybody else with the latest Mac X OS ("Tiger") gets this?

Interesting... like com.org?
