The reason why it doesn't work is because they require useragent and accept property in the header to be sent, maybe to prevent from bots.

Adding useragent and accept property works:

<?php
$ch = curl_init ("http://adfoc.us/426491");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://adfoc.us/*********1");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8'));
$page = curl_exec ($ch);
echo $page;
?>

You can use a textbox or encode html tags before printing to remove browser rendering:

<?php
$ch = curl_init ("http://adfoc.us/426491");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://adfoc.us/*********1");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8'));
$page = curl_exec ($ch);
echo '<textarea style="width:100%; height: 100%;">' . $page . '</textarea>';
?>

Thanks soft
so we need to analyse the header in source code too, i thought they check for referrer only

Offtopic:
(i saw the header using live http headers)
so mate we need to add the things in " Accept: xxxxxxxxx " as HTTPHEADER?
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8'));

is it applicable for all sites mate....??

Accept Header tells what type of response the browser is looking for.
So for this: Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Expanded, asks for any of the following formats:
- (X)HTML format (HTML First)
- XML format
- Finally */* means for any type of format.

So it should be applicable for all sites

once again thanks buddy, now i understood

Hi spartan, there is a lot of ways to monatizing sites, but these adfly/adfocus/linkbucks are worst than popup, just my opinion

Note:
now i am learning php, daily 30 minutes - 1 hour, sometime 2 hour in holiday
