Abstract:
1. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium for preventing proxy website interactions that, when executing on one or more computers, performs the steps of: intercepting a website connection request from a client to access a requested website; analyzing the requested website associated with the website connection request to identify customer advertisement identification information within the requested website, wherein the customer advertisement identification information includes a unique account identifier embedded within a web page of the requested website in order to allocate advertising revenue for an interaction with an advertisement within the web page; determining that the customer advertisement identification information is associated with an entity known to operate an anonymizer used to access web content by receiving an alternate URL from the client, converting the alternate URL to a primary URL, requesting a web page by submitting the primary URL from the anonymizer to a web server, and returning web content in the web page from the anonymizer to the client, thereby providing a determination; and categorizing the requested website as the anonymizer based on the determination.
