Summary of  a long story : something was redirecting some of the visitors of Hentairules to external websites. Using a process of elimination and questions (like here !), I’m tracking it down. I last left hentairules “naked” during 12 hours, the pest was gone among lots of other things, and now I’m starting to have my little idea.
This is yet another round of testing now :)

If you don’t see what I mean, please, read that post :) It will contain all the explanations you may need.

UPDATE : I brought come components back, I now believe they’re “legit”.
PLEASE, IF YOU ARE REDIRECTED ONCE AGAIN, LET ME KNOW ABOUT IT IN A COMMENT, ONCE AGAIN :)

If you never were redirected, you’re lucky like me :D It seems only some visitors are targeted (and not even all the time), this is what makes the testing so complicated. Once again, thanks for your participation, guys :)

No redirects yet, I hope it's gone for good. Thanks for all your effort to eliminate it.
I'd say at least wait till tomorrow to be sure.

Even I haven't experienced any redirects Oliver. And I seemed to get the worse of it. I can tell your the kind of guy who puts in more work then he should on anything. And for that, we thank you!

================= UPDATE 1 =================

Thanks for the replies and the participation, guys, I'm really grateful :)

I think I managed to be sure I can trust some of the components, I brought these components back.

If the redirecting problem resumes, that means I was wrong, thank you to tell me if that's the case :)

No redirects on my end either. I've only been on once today, but it would appear since I had no redirects since my last comment in the previous post that you got it sir!

One thing worth checking would be the DNS servers of the people who have been redirected. Usually those are a bunch which are roteted and if there is one with a faulty entry it will return an error code. Now there’s ISPs that will redirect those ‘unknown’ requests to some search page instead. Just a guess..

your website use way too much javascript and display way to much ads from untrusted domains…

but I don’t really care since now i block all ads and javascript from hentairules. The website loads much faster and I won’t be redirected to some scam sites anymore. don’t believe all you users are stupid, if I believe a website can be a danger to my computer or will eat all my cpu because of useless javascript I will block it all.

Actually, with a comment like yours, the one among my visitors who is looking stupid is… you.

What's with the uselessly aggresive tone, and this overwhelming feeling of superiority because you're using a plugin everybody knows, even I recommending it every time I'm asked ?

Feel free to block whatever you like, but please, spare us your teen angst :)

I've been directed to a Kirkland morgage insurance company website in the past couple of weeks. (Since I live in the Puget Sound area.)

Still occasionally getting redirected to ad sites if I click anywhere on the screen except the links. It only happens once, never duplicates after the first time, then today your page would load, but after about 45 seconds it would redirect to a silverlight page that wouldn’t load (blocked by one of my antispam things like noscript)
