ok - this has bothered me for sometime - please explain to me what I am missing:
With a program like AXS - I can easily see what someone sends me:
A visitor from XXXXX.client2.attbi.com (65.96.XXXX)
A visitor from spider-mtc-ti051.proxy.aol.com (64.12.101.171)
A visitor from pool-151-203-XXXX.bos.east.verizon.net (151.203.XXX)
A visitor from 208-59-157-XXXXXX.frdb.va.dialup.rcn.com (208.59.157.XXXXX)
A visitor from ip68-100-XXXXX.nv.nv.cox.net (68.100.XXXXX)
A visitor from XZXX.washingtonXXXX.dc.dial-access.att.net (12.91.XXXXX)
I see stuff like this over and over. Overall on one domain I have:
[who] aol.com 22.16% 12256
IP addr 11.07% 6125
[who] comcast.net 11.01% 6091
[who] attbi.com 5.39% 2981
[who] verizon.net 4.11% 2274
[who] level3.net 3.01% 1666
[who] rcn.net 2.67% 1476
[who] uu.net 2.63% 1454
[who] rr.com 2.60% 1438
[who] mindspring.com 2.08% 1150
[who] att.net 1.62% 897
[who] cox.net 1.43% 789
[who] rcn.com 1.21% 672
[who] adelphia.net 1.09% 605
shouldn't I be seeing something like that from trade partners. Granted - I can see people being able to buff their trades with hitbot traffic, but wouldn't I be able to tell - just by looking at percentages - who is sending me crap traffic - wouldn't traffic like comcast.net & cox be considered a predictor of quality - or can these be hitbotted as well.
Wouldn't dialup access that has the name of the city in the name lookup - wouoldn't a good spread of that be hard to fake?
