how many clicks are possible from one IP? - GoFuckYourself.com

HQ · 08-22-2002, 05:43 AM

Let me rephrase that:

How many legitimate clicks do you think are possible from one surfer (one IP)? Also, how long does a surfer stay on your site?

I have been recording all the click-thrus produced on my site from each IP and I have some pretty high numbers, some are over 100. Also, I have records of a surfer producing clicks one hour after his first click.

I have to block hit bots from going wild on my sites, but I'm not sure at what point is fair. From what I can see, about 40% of surfers click nothing (probably thanks to all the blind links to me), about 30% click once (then get pissed off that it was a blind link and leave), and about 10% click twice. That's about 80% of all traffic. I know I should probably cut off the ones clicking 100 times off my site, but at what point do I start cutting the clicks off? 50? 20? 10? 5?

Its a straightforward answer -
maxumum legitimate clicks? - 12 clicks

Now seriously -Just so you will know - assuming all clicks are legitimate - they most probably come from what is called a proxy (/proxy server).
In short: Proxy is a internet mechanism that concentrates requests from people on different IPs and contacts sites they want to for them - so instead of seeing the real people IPs you see the IP address of the proxy.
This may be done for many reasons: Privacy, security, caching etc...
Another reason is - cheating

What cheaters do - is use a proxy to hide their IP (so you cant track them). In a more technically advanced way - it also enables them to spoof their IP so not even the proxy can detect them...
Their (the cheaters) assumption is - that you wont block the proxy IP because you dont want to loose possible legitimate users...

In reality - fuck assumptions.. Block the motherfucker. (atleast for a while)

Did Choker make a special deal with the Russians?

Paying protection fee?

Virtually everything above 15 should be considered "highly suspicious" 100+ simple aint possible.
Are you sure it's coming from Choker?

The traffic was to www.babesfromholland.com . No trades no CJ only links to galleries.

Maybe it took them a while to cum ...

he very well could be selling hitbot traffic considering the fact that he buys traffic from some people and sends it right to other sites.

boldy · 08-22-2002, 01:40 PM

Doesnt he filter his traffic .. i guess so .. If not his hitbots are horny mothersuckers because they generate signups ...

Satan · 08-22-2002, 03:10 PM

Don't say things you have no idea about, This is not true at all.

Did you bother to check if any of these ips are AOL or any other big ISP proxies? duhhhhhhhhhhhhh
