I did a traffic test recently to see how "real" the traffic from some different "too good to be true" traffic brokers is. The "ad" was a flash file with the words "You're a douchebag" in big letters taking up the entire browser, and if the user so much as moused-over the browser window his actions were recorded by actionscript/php. Just a fun little experiment, I didn't expect anything great but thought it would be interesting to see if this 'traffic' came from anything that resembled a human source.

But this one guy dicked me around and didn't even send fake traffic, not a click, then refused to give me a refund based on some lies about TOS, so I decided to ... well, you'll see. Tell me if I went too far. Too much free time on my hands? Obviously.

Read the pretty fuckin' funny email transcript here:

(dudes name is Andy "Poppins" and he's trying to make a web designer of himself or some shit.)

Arrgh why do I waste my time like this?

Btw that bg pic is from his twitter, he's like 16.

Think this will scare him straight?
