I got an email today from Dana at Cashroyal. It enclosed a cheat link which I admit I clicked on due to inattention. I was distracted by my pain pills making me sick. That is my fault.
What I discovered though is she isn't even using a cheat page from her site at Cashroyal. She is using an Annie's webpage for it. I don't think if a site is sending out cheat links it should lead to another site's webpage ad about cheating. I don't think a cheat link like this should be done because it truly leads to another site and not the one issuing the cheat link.

thoses disguise cheat link are really bad...
they should at least give a chance to people who read the email like a normal person, not like a robot...
and also should lead to a page saying *ding, you cliked on the cheat link* not to a advertisement page :S

Or the cheat PTC in Nut-case-mail where the text under it says $0.50 but the banner says Do not click your account will be deleted.
I'm glad I never click any banners before they are fully loaded.
Also, it's the same image as Kaitlyns Paid Mail always had.
edited cause I'm a lousy speller.

I think Dana owns both CashRoyal and Annies Biz.

Let me clarify a bit. First it was written fairly plain enough that it was a cheat link so that is my fault for clicking. It did lead to a page that said you just clicked a cheat link. I didn't realize she owns Annie's. I still think it should lead to a Cashroyal link.

I have a standard cheat page......thats why there was no revisit link.
It didnt deduct money
The Ad clearly if it was read was obvious it was a cheat link.
It was not sneaky or tricking people
I use cheat links at all my sites , just the page that says "you hit the cheat link" is hosted on on url.
Why would that matter? I could have it hosted on geocites to save bandwith on my servers
There was no revisit link to trick anyone.
I really dont see the big deal
