Anybody know the answer to this one?
Of several sites, I have a tgp that was loosing traffic daily and it sank to an all time low of 100 hits a day.
My script is set to post automatically, and I found that people were auto submitting pages and then selling or redirecting their page to anything but a gallery.
The post is still on auto, but I used an htaccess file to require posts to come from an html page on my site, thereby blocking auto submitters.
My traffic grew dramatically since that day, and is now over 5000 raw clicks a day to that tgp - an all time high

.

Does anybody think that blocking auto submitters had anything to do with my traffic increase
Thanks, and gfy.
