Maybe this is why the people behind Biolento.net have opted to use aggressive marketing techniques to boost their website's traffic and therefore increase the ad revenue it is able to generate. The marketing technique used to bring people to Biolento.net involves browser hijacking software – small pieces of software whose purpose is to modify a Web browser's settings so that it will perform certain actions. In this case, the hijacker will refer users to Biolento.net forcefully whenever they attempt to do specific things like opening a new tab or loading their homepage.
