Invalid way to implement ad code?

[poringy]

I've been wondering about something, I've refreshed other people's webpages for their ad link and it never changes. So, that led me to think, "Why can't I just make a hyperlink to the link?" It looks like x10hosting will be included as the referrer in the link as well. So, here is the link that is produced from the javascript code.


http://x10hosting.com/advert/adclick.php?bannerid=51&zoneid=3&source=&dest=http://www.filevip.com

Because the link is not always to FileVIP. It used to be to x10Hosting, but it was automatically updated. If that was just a link, everyone would need to always update their links.

Yeah, I've just observed the properties of the link and it has been the same for a while, so that's why I thought of that. I really think that there should be a different way to implement this, such as a simple hypertext link that redirects to a php page on x10hosting. Then that php page will do the nesessary things for the clicking on the ads to work. Javascript is easily blocked by people using Firefox or a secure Internet Explorer, so it won't be as effective. Php isn't something that everyone uses either.

Oh, by the way, layers in CSS with negative z-indexes don't show up in firefox at all. It works in all of the other browsers that I have. I'm using safe mode Firefox 1.5.0.6.
