steveorino 7 #1 December 9, 2005 I'd like to block them from my google ads on www.dzonline.info, but I don't want to click on each to try and figure out which ones are skyride scams. Google does not allow clicking on your own ads. steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
headoverheels 334 #2 December 9, 2005 Of the ones on your site, it looks like Skydance has created another 3 web sites as copies of their own. Is this a Skyride promotion, or the Skydance marketing response to a flood of fake sites? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is this a Skyride promotion, or the Skydance marketing response to a flood of fake sites? I wouldn't say either. They are not Skyride and I don't think they are listed as a DZ that takes their certificates either. While I agree that the multiple SkyDance sites are weird and confusing, SkyDance is legit and a good place to jump. Guano FF trains there and there are a lot of good people there...like our very own skybytch (and Feeblemind keeps following me there too)! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #6 December 10, 2005 The internet gurus could answer this for sure but I believe that only the web sites that PAY for the ad service actually get inserted into your pages...SKyride doesn't pay for all of those sites to be ads...just the main ones.My reality and yours are quite different.

steveorino 7 #7 December 10, 2005 Most likely, Someone tell me who the main culprits are (main skyride websites) and I will at least block those. steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #8 December 10, 2005 Steve, howabout this? Since I am on your site nearly every day, I will click the links and send you the addresses of those sites that do pop up...here's a couple I pulled this morning: http://www.soaringsports.com/goo/skydiving/ http://www.skydiveathens.com/ http://www.skydivegeorgia.com/ http://www.skydive-tennessee.com/firstskydive.htmlMy reality and yours are quite different.

steveorino 7 #9 December 10, 2005 Okay, blocked those (it can take Google up to 72 hours to block) Let me know others that are skyride scams. Now, off to the DZ! steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #10 December 10, 2005 I can't believe you are jumping this early...I saw the weather report for your area - 29 degrees this morning...but warming up to 50.My reality and yours are quite different.
