I have two separate pages under one account at Brinkster.com. Brinkster recently started putting up huge ad banners. I'd like to take one part of my site and re-direct it to my main ad-free (non-Brinkster) site using the code below:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url=http://mynewsite.net/index.html">

<script>
window.location="http://mynewsite.net/index.html";
</script>

My question is this, would Brinkster have bots that search for this code? (I assume it violates TOS since you can't use their service as a gateway to another site.)

p.s. URL shown (mynewsite.net) is just an example, it doesn't point to my site.

The question is do u really think a free provider like Brinkster would go through that much trouble to make bots and find pages that potentially violate TOS? :confused5

Maybe u should ask them...anonymously of course ;) :P
