Think about it for a sec.
Lets say that domainA.com is hitbotting you.
How does 99% of the trade scripts work? The prod/return is based on how many times a person from domainA.com clicks.
If the hitbot doesn't carry a referer, then domainA.com isn't sending productive traffic. The trade script doesn't send back to unproductive traffic.
Lets take couple of examples
Hits sent with referer:
domainA.com send 1000 hits with referer
those 1000 hits clicks 2000 times = 200% prod
The trade script willl send good traffic back to domainA.com
Hits sent without referer:
domainA.com send 1000 hits without referer
those 1000 hits clicks 2000 times, but no referer was sent so the trade script doesn't know that it's coming from domainA.com = 0% prod
The trade script will not send back anything.
So why would a hitbot not send a referer?
