How to find a cheater??

[Catalinas]

I need HELP! ; ) I have been asked by one of my trades if I'm using a hitbot, I'm not, so I look in my logs and someone I'm trading with has the exact same IP's


212.138.47.11
212.138.47.13 and others with just the last number changed...

also I just noticed this one too
24.16.156.127

...over and over. I am almost positive the person who shows up on my logs isn't cheating. How would I find out who is doing it?? I don't want my trades getting mad at me for something I'm not doing, but I also don't want to kill a really good trade with an honest person.. any advice??

I know this isn't the right board for this, but I'm more asking for advice and not wanting to accuse anyone of cheating..

Thanks!
Catalina

There are number of methods to find cheaters...
Here are most obvious of them:
1. What percent of hits go from proxy servers? You should signup for good proxy-finder service and get the fresh list (>5000 proxies). Then you should analyze your data or log files... probably with the aid of a custom program. I have this ability included in my traffic trading software, don't know about UCJ or whatever you are using.
2. Study your log file. Imagine WHAT cheater's program do when it come to your site. Is there a difference between program and real surfer? For ex. program would probably not load all images whichever smart it is. Bookmarkers doesn't load all the images too because of browser cash but brobably there are images they always load and moreover they don't usually go through trades. You should consider to track time between first visit and clicking first link.
etc. etc etc.

Probably there are more simple ways in your case. I'm talking in general.
