What is with the crappy Skimlinks redirections???

I keep getting:

[b]If you’ve landed on this page, you may be wondering exactly what it’s all about.

We’re Skimlinks — a service that helps online publishers earn money.

When links in publishers’ content lead their users to click through and buy from an online retailer, we make sure they’re rewarded!

We aim to make our service seamless and unobtrusive, so your user experience should not be interrupted. If you’ve landed on this page and didn’t mean to, unfortunately you’ve most likely clicked on a broken link along the way. Links can be broken if they are badly formatted; if you spot any again, we’d advise reporting these to the site owner.

It not on all links, but on may of them...
Really, really bloody annoying!

Here is one: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
4th post down.
If I right click the link and 'copy link location', I can past it into my browser with no problems.

Here is another: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
2nd post down

And 3rd post down - both links.

And the 4th post down in same thread...

And here: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
First post...

I get the feeling this is more common than not...

Oh - hold on!
It seems the browser pop-up blocker is stopping the links working.
That's not good news for anyone using Skimlinks!

I think I'll just stay with 'cut and pasting the link'.
I really do not like all this 'tracking/pop-up' bks with website like this.
