I have written Mike and Robert a couple times with no answer (I think you were having email problems), my stats went down 98+% for AOL traffic. It is my understanding that you have added a whole bunch of proxies to your cheat list (at least that is what Robert said in the boards over there). 99% of aol IPs resolve to something like (these are from the last hour):
spider-wm074.proxy.aol.com (205.188.199.184)
spider-mtc-ta023.proxy.aol.com (64.12.105.28)
spider-wb031.proxy.aol.com (205.188.192.161)
spider-mtc-tb013.proxy.aol.com (64.12.104.23)
proxy.sjc.netsetter.com (216.34.56.12)
I just checked my IPs from the last hour or so. All are from AOL and everyone has the word proxy in it. My guess is you guys are blocking everything with the word "proxy" in it. If that is the case, you are effectively blocking 98% of AOL traffic. How else could you explain:
25th 758 $ 0.030 $ 22.74 $ 0.00 5 % $ 22.74
26th 671 $ 0.030 $ 20.13 $ 0.00 5 % $ 20.13
27th 579 $ 0.030 $ 17.37 $ 0.00 5 % $ 17.37
28th 10 $ 0.030 $ 0.30 $ 0.00 5 % $ 0.30
Those are my AllClicks stats for the end of march. I recently tried to send more traffic from AOL as well (hoping that there was just a glitch or something) and they too were not counted.
Anyway, like I said, I have been happy with SI, but I beg to differ on the AOL thing. If there is something I am missing, please let me know. I would be happy to turn over any IP logs if that would help.
