What script is that?

As far as I know, I invented productivity with a toplist based productivity script in November '98. At the time anyway I couldn't find anyone else that had thought of such a thing and I spent a lot of time explaining to people what the hell productivity was... It was the most obvious solution to trading with these new CJ sites at the time -- that were sending out insane amounts of junk blind traffic. I don't think the first CJ sites were doing any kind of productivity calculations. Pretty much everyone at that time that was not trading on a script yet was feeding the CJ sites... That may not make sense now -- but back then 500 hits was 500 hits, blind or not blind... Most sites had to check their server stats daily to reorganize their pages... If you had the money you could buy a toplist script from Dirty Jack I think his name was... Anyone still trading off daily server stats was getting screwed by CJ...

For me productivity has always been just the # of links that are clicked -- generated by particular referrer... tracked by an outstats type redirect script. I don't know how CJ people define productivity.
