I use Mozilla's Firefox as my browser and have become a bit lazy because of it.
No longer do I waste my time entering the 'http://' or even bothering with the 'com' most of the time, especially for major sites.
Today, when I was reading a different thread and went to VegasRegal to look at their T&C's, I simply punched 'vegasregal' into the address bar and lo and behold, it went to an affiliate page (vegasregalcasino.com/?id=303564)
This surprised me, so I tried TropicaCasino.
Sure enough, it directed me to tropicacasino.com/?id=571104
Now either Mozilla and Google have decided to take advantage of people like me (lazy) and have added affiliate accounts to further pad their bottom line, or someone has paid Google to make their affiliate link trump anything else Google may find.
Either way something smells rotten here.
