I know what you mean, I had the same issue with a site recently.

I don't know much about stuff like htaccess and site security, but I know that even if your users don't land on the &HTML= page that you specify, they get the CCBill cookie.

So you won't lose a sale, but you look kinda retarded when you text link a bunch of key word terms or simply stuff like "View the Gallery" and it keeps taking you to their landing page.

That's a default in the CCBill account when you don't put a variable like &HTML= someplace or other in their link.

The redirect or whatever it is gets setup up on the site's host.

Most sites (I currently promote about 40, so that's from my experience) don't muck with the site page access, but I always test my links before publishing.

This was the only one I found.

I emailed the site owner but he hasn't replied in the two or three weeks since.

It might be a personal preference on their part, or paranoia on the security level, or a fear of losing surfers somehow configured into their external access so that any and all 404 would go to the index page... I don't know.

If someone can explain that stuff here I'll bookmark this thread .
