If they have nothing to hide then why are they hiding?
Your "free host" example makes no sense. A free host *IS* responsible for content uploaded by users.
We can do an experiment to prove this. You upload some illegal porn to a free host and I will report it to the FBI. See where the investigation starts. I assure you that when your free hosts gets hit with legal action they will give you up so fast it will make your head swim.
I honestly expected some backlash from some people on here because it is the nature of GFY. I believe that I was defrauded by www.proxy.org and the analysis by Google's click fraud team supports that idea. We will let a court of law have the final say.
If the police, the FBI and a civil court all say that nothing was wrong then I will be the first to come here and say I was wrong but right now, today, the evidence that I have strongly suggests fraud. |
im not an expert on what proxy.org does and if im wrong correct me but from what i see they list 100-1000 free web proxy services and let people type in a url and connect thru the proxy sites/servers that are listed they dont actually run any proxies.
That being the case i dont see why they would be hitting your site or why they would want to hit your site with any fake traffic i could see someone writing a script to go thru them and proxy sites to generate fake clicks on your site tho i have read the bbs before awile ago and some proxy site owners were bitching about people trying to abuse thier service to hitbot other sites this is probably what happened to you.
Unless you think the owner/owners of proxy.org have a personal problem with you.
