Yes I found that page it isn't to hard to type uggc encryption into google.

Maybe I was being to vague.

Why would a search engine send traffic over in this fashion. I am seeing a ton of it in my logs.

I've seen S123 doing this before, I think it was mostly for fraud control but not exactly sure why since it doesn't seem any less secure than standard encoding.

Thanks. I narrowed it down to ABCSearch. I don't really like this because I can't see where the traffic is coming from.

Oh your right, come to think of it, it probably was ABCSearch. I dropped them a long time ago so I haven't had a chance to look closely at them since then.

They were underperforming for me with initial tests. Now I see this. I guess I will let the campaign ride out to see what the final numbers show.

I will share the results with you monday if you are interested.
