This is just a very quick post to let users of either/or Clickaudit and Firefox that the ad tracking service is currently experiencing problems with the latest version of the browser.
Unfortunately, Clickaudit links are being displayed as "possible web forgery" and instruct web surfers that the site may be a phishing site. Users can choose to ignore the warning but let's face it, who would? This will be causing difficulties for all Clickaudit users and could be very damaging to advertising and reputation - if you got a mail from a list and thought it was an attempt to scam you, how would you feel?
This has been mentioned on a couple of forums including the NetMarketing Forum and apparently Clickaudit support have been notified - in the meantime, use another method to track your links. Hopefully the ad tracking service will come up with a solution very quickly.
