can someone explain waht a proxy hit really is and why it is bad
 

Hi,

I have heard several things about proxy hits and am confused as to what they really are and why you dont want them from your traders. Could someone clear this up for me.
Thanks
Chris

proxy = fake traffic (only 5% of it is real, trust me)

fake traffic = worthless

worthless = not good

not good = no sales

no sales = no money

no money = no sex


so basically.. you won't get laid if you are getting too much proxy traffic. :2 cents:

so if I have a trade that sends 15% proxy on average then the clicks are most likely fake?

User has IP address ---> internet connection ---> proxy with alternate IP address ---> referenced link, etc.

User could be replaced with software called "hitbot" to automate the cycling of proxies, which create false hits from 10s, 100s or even 1000s of IP addresses. This is called cheating and trying it could get you banned from an affiliate program, flamed on GFY, blacklisted in general or beat the fuck up if you cheat someone that lives close by.

Don't cheat.

15% = cheater

cheater = hate

hate = murder

murder = serial killer

so basically that trade is a serial killer

break it down.

aight

okay proxy = BAD

So where is the line where you say this traders sends too many proxies. My script shows proxies but it does not show if the clicks come from the proxies or from the real traffic.

I used to delete every trade with more than 12% proxy traffic

Lesson for the day: buying up heaps of Choker's $2 proxy traffic is NOT a good way to build up your TGP. :winkwink:

Thats retarded.
I have traffic from

google.es
google.at
google.com.au
google.co.in


That contains over 15% proxy.... I guess google is trying to cheat my TGPs. :(




Nice logic. :1orglaugh

hahaha:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

yeah but those bastards do not trade traffic, they only send.

and they're serial killers.

You missed my point... If a search engine can send over 15% proxy traffic. A TGP sending over 15% is not neccicarialy a cheater.... anyways... Theres such thing as a Class A proxy. (A hell of a lot of them that probably arent on my list) Somone with under 15% proxy traffic could still be a cheater.


Thats why TGPs SCUK AND ALL YOU FUCKING N00BS SHOULD STOP MAKING THEM.
