Hello,

I wonder if you heard of GAO: http://www.game-advertising-online.com/?section=doc&action=advertising&cid=GAO10_WPX1

I don't mind experimenting with this kind of advertising, but I am just worried from scams.
So do you know these guys? Do you have any valuable information about their service?

Thank you.

That looks suspiciously like a referring link to me. Why didn't you just link to the front page?

It is not. It is a link to the advertising details, the front page has not much info.
Never heard of them, but it seems interesting. Could be worth it.

Pretty sure it is. The "&cid=GAO10_WPX1" gives it away.

Hmm, sorry.
I just got to this website by clicking an Ad from a well known website. Don't remember which one that was. Maybe gamedev or something similar to that.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what do you mean by a reffering link?

It's a kind of affiliate scheme. The link provider (you in this case) typically gets a reward for the traffic they generate, hence people's suspicion!

Sorry about that, my mistake Smiley Well, at least I made someone happy.

GAO have been around ages. I've spent money wth them. They are owned by the guys who own gamasutra.
They are predominantly running ads on browser based MMOs.
