NATS, CCBILL, etc... Link tracking question - GoFuckYourself.com

barelist · 09-02-2010, 07:44 AM

I just implemented some code on the server that tracks external URLs' response times.

Each time a visitor clicks on a FHG link on my site, my server queries the link and requests the head block (keeps overhead down), to measure response times.

Within a split second, NATS/CCBill/etc... will see two queries to the same URL. One from my server's IP and the other from the user's IP.

I'm just curious to know how the different applications would treat this scenario. Just a little paranoid this might be looked at as some sort of spam, and I might be losing sales.

Nobody? :/

Our system should not have a problem with this at all. I would be curious to hear your findings though.

Haven't seen a real CCBill sale in 4 days... I normally have a few a day... changing some code up for a test

Just had a CCBill sale less than an hour after the code change :P

And another CCBill sale, might be an issue with two requests to the same URL so quickly...
