I’ve just been informed that when someone is clicking on my site name via email,

http://todayyesterdayandtomorrow.wordpress.com/

It’s taking them to a ‘sponsored links page’. It doesn’t go to my website.
When I click on it otherwise, it’s fine. It’s just in email it seems that it did it.

I don’t have any other websites, not selling anything in any way anywhere, etc etc.

When I clicked on it in their email it did the same thing to me, too. This has never happened to me when I’ve clicked on my site name before, nor when I’ve keyed it in. What causes this?

5 bucks says it’s either the email provider (who is it, by the way?) or they haven’t run a virus sweep with an updated virus sig file anytime recently.

edit: Worked fine for me using gmail.

It’s more than one it seems. I emailed it to myself and it was fine. Others, have had issues. When I open the email from a complaint and click on it too, then I get the same problem at that time. I viewed the ‘source’, I’ll paste it here. It does look suspicious?

I’ve copied the source – I’ll paste it here:

p.s. the url stays ‘correct’ – it remains todayyesterdayandtomorrow at the browser, never changes even when sitting on the wrong page
