GoNowTo - URL Redirect Service
|
Summary: URL- http://www.gonow.to Description- GoNowTo is a URL forwarding service. They offer you a shorter name for your big-ugly GeoCities address. You can get something like "http://gonow.to/hell" and also a nasty popup and/or ad frame. |
Special thanks to Jarryd for sending this tip in to us.
Kind of a strange one here. They display your site inside a frameset which allows them to display ads, or popups, or track your travels, or anything else they want to do! This is VERY, uncool! However under your Member settings, you can add in one line of script to foil their stupid invisible frame. What this does is to close their frameset before the popup page has a chance to load. Just add it in the field right AFTER your URL when you sign up! Or, if you already have an account just edit your settings.
There are some side-effects to using this. One - if you are using Frames of your own, this may not be the solution for you (it could mess up your frames!) Two - it disables the URL Masking feature that gonow.to has. So, the redirect works, but people can see your real URL. Here's the code:
"></frameset>
If you don't want to use the method above, you could always try to hijack [*] the window and close the popup ad with your own popup code. Visit Countexploitation and the Free Web Page Provider to find out more about how to hijack popup window!
* The term "hijack" in reference to Popup Windows was coined by Bill Webb.
