Yeah, the site is written in PHP.

Well here's most of what I've discovered so far about traffic trading.

a) People cheat. They even have bots that accept cookies and act like a fully blown web-browser to convince you that they're generating clicks on your page.

b) You can't track users by IP. Most internet users are behind proxy servers nowadays. So if you're writing a script that has to track individual users, use sessions (or cookies) and watch for suspicious behaviour.

c) A lot of free sites redirect to 404's which is annoying for your users. Periodically check your listings for 404's and delete them.

d) Let your users a few good clicks (but not more than say 4) before you divert traffic to a trade or sponsor. You'll get better bookmark traffic that way.
