I have a three trades that I think are cheating me but I'm not sure enough to delete them. Their prod is always about the same and always better than all my other trades.

I have hidden links on my site but they are not being clicked by these trades. Does this mean they can't be using a hitbot? How else can I tell if they are cheating?

Any advice would be appreciated.

try to contact with the webmasters
if they looks trustable don't delete them and ask how they send a good prod % traffic

or

delete them immediatelly
hits received by hitbots can make more damage than loosing a good trader

you can also try just renaming your out script.. but this would not stop most of the better hitbots that are around now.

Thanks for the help Wetlap and MJ. I deleted the trades even though they were my biggest trades and now all my other trades have started growing again. :) I guess they were cheating me.

I think I'll go and delete some more now ;)

Can you send me an email (webmaster@demonwolfe.com) or ICQ 27105787 with info on these sites names?

I wont post it anywhere, but I have a couple sites that I am looking into now at the moment as well.

Much appreciated.
