Choker sending fake traffic?
 

I purchased a few K of traffic from choker today. (I had some credit with them) Anyway, I'm logging the activity and noticed something a bit odd...

Hundreds of ips in the same range:
195.93.21.x - Where x is a random number

The MAJORITY (~90%) of them viewed ONE random gallery and then closed the site.

There's no way that's real traffic...

Drama alert

You wouldnt happen to be the guy who owes him 20g eh?

you owe him 20k just pay up biaaaaaaaaaaatch

bump for an explanation

Head, prepare to meet ass...

OH SHITT!!!

Damn, that is some damaging allegations.

hmm this thread after the other one....hmmmm

those ips could be explained by a college or something..tons of people in the same ip range...just checking out a gallery here or there

Looking through more of the logged ips, and am noticing its happening a lot more than I thought. Perhaps it's someone cheating choker (most likely) but I'm definitely not buying if this continues. I'll use up my credit and I'm done with them.

Here's a sample from the range I posted above.

195.93.21.100
195.93.21.101
195.93.21.103
195.93.21.2
195.93.21.3
195.93.21.34
195.93.21.35
195.93.21.36
195.93.21.37
195.93.21.38
195.93.21.4
195.93.21.41
195.93.21.42
195.93.21.5
195.93.21.67
195.93.21.7
195.93.21.74
195.93.21.8
195.93.21.97
195.93.21.98
195.93.60.106
195.93.60.129

All of these came into the site within a few minutes of each other.

In the IP list above, ALL of them came in within 5 minutes of each other, viewed ONE gallery from a RANDOM paysite and left immediately after that.

ALL clicked a total of 2 times.

Those that didn't view a gallery, clicked on a page, followed by a paysite, then closed it.

Not what I'd call normal surfing...

There's no question these are fake.

ummm this sucks I just bought a bunch of traffic from him. :disgust

yeah that looks bad, I am sure you can work something out with choker though


spaz

that wouldn't be quality traffic as chokers site is telling you it is. Never bought any traffic there and never so i can't tell for my self but this sounds bad.

lets see what choker has to say about it.

any comment on the subject choker? :thumbsup

Oh, there's no question some of it is real.

The problem is that I'm using this traffic to guage visitors surfing patterns on my new site so that I can tweak things to make it more sticky...

As such, I'm sending the traffic in blocks, looking at what they do, adjusting and then buying another block...

It's impossible to do this if the majority of the traffic is fake since I'm running on averages. After buying the traffic, my click-thru ratio to paysites dropped from around 50% to 5%...

what a crap... bump!

I don't understand why this guy didn't go directly to choker and let him know the problem. It could be a simple fact that someone is cheating him, Yet you turn around and make it as if he purposely doing it.

This is why the adult industry is so fucked up

195.93.21.x is one of AOL's proxy server-parks
It just mean you have a lot or shitty AOL traffic.
Stop buying bulk traffic, its worthless - absolutely worthless

I have no intention of buying more traffic from them, and my credit was small enough that I don't really care beyond this post. I have enough on my plate then to worry about choker. This thread is only to post my experiance with the traffic today.

That was NOT the only IP range giving those results. Hopefully you're right, and the traffic is just total shit prod wise...

lol, like circle jerk traffic even if it was real would do anything... fact is, it's traffic, if it had value it wouldnt be for sale

wow this is interesting I was just planning to buy traffic from choker maybe I should reconsider.:(

So your intention is just to sit on GFY and make choker look bad whenever you never gave him the chance to investigate or resolve the situation?

Again...this is why the adult industry is so fucked up, Choker is a standup guy and you sit here and bash his traffic without even so much as hitting him up via email or messenger.

I am sure taking 10 minutes out of your busy schedule will just fuck your world all the hell up.

Everyone is susceptible to fraud, He may not be aware of it...I guess he is now...Because you couldn't take 10 minutes out of your busy schedule to let him know via email or icq. Class A man...Class A!

Open a DOS prompt and type:
tracert IP adress (press enter)

It will give you something like:
Tracing route to cache-los-ad04.proxy.aol.com [195.93.21.100]

Check one ip-adress from every ip-range and see if im not right

my oh my

i been buying from choker for a few months now. :disgust

Anxious to hear what Choker has to say about this.

Post the other ranges, let's see if those belong to AOL as well.

AOL proxies have for long been whitelisted by traffic brokers, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone found a nifty way run a hitbot through them. In that case, I'm sure Choker is at a loss on this as well, as he's also on the receiving end of hitbot traffic.

Bingo.

He said he bought what?... a few thousand hits? Christ sakes that's a spit in a bucket. I've bought blocks of traffic in the 300k range from Choker in the past, hell I think I have close to that owed me in "chicken eggs" or whatever he calls them. I've never had a problem with his traffic, but if there currently IS a problem then wouldn't it have been better to just talk directly to him and see if the problem can't be remedied?

...instead of coming on GFY and cocking off like an idiot.

Should trashing someone publicly be the FIRST thing people do in a situation?

I think it should be the last.

The thread title has a question mark not an exclamation point behind it.

He may get better/quicker service if he posts it here and directly to Choker. I don't think what he is doing is trashing Choker. One post from Choker can clear this up. Are you upset with Choker for mentioning the 20 GRand he is owed here? We don't really need to know that do we? He is saying pay me, or I out you here isn't he? Choker will get better results if he makes this grievence public.

I've bought 100s of K of both gallery traffic and feeder traffic from Choker and it has always been good.

Brand new bridges for sale in brooklyn, and we sale low icq

an explanation is required.. if this is true... this is bad... tsk!

How did it convert? 1:1000, 1:2000 or better? Just curious

uhm 0:9000, as all circle traffic is, if real closed window instantly, so they can pop up another page to another victum

This Thread is amusing...

I also am contemplating buying traffic from Choker...



So what have you ...

How could he call that traffic good, if that was the case?

choker traffic rules

First off...The choker thread thing...Last time I checked he did that because the person was AVOIDING him and doing shady shit...This person has not made one attempt to contact Choker in reference to this

Lets apply your logic to other situations

My hosting is down...Do I.....

A.) Make a thread on gfy about my hosting being down

B.) Contact my hostings support staff

C.) Nothing


My car got broken into...Do I....

A.) Contact the police

B.) Find a local forum that a police officer visits and make a thread

C.) Nothing


I think I am getting fake traffic from Choker...Do I....

A.) Contact Lensman from GFY

B.) Contact Choker

C.) Make a thread on gfy asking everyone else

D.) Call juicy


Things that make ya go humm

I get sick of everytime something bad is going on some idiot says oh why not just tell him/ her

wjhat a dumb ass addded to ignore

if he had not posted this I or someone else could have wasted and or lost money

How long has choker been in this business? Yes...I'm sure he going to fuck his name over for this guys couple thousands of hits...

How much traffic has he sold...Why would he start sending fake traffic now?

Excuse me for not caring that I am on your ignore list...

Your statement proves my point...People might get the wrong idea about chokers traffic without any justification...Had he went to choker and choker didn't contact him back or told him to fuck off...Yeah...then make a thread bout it...

Your just as fucken stupid as he is at this point

(E) All of the above ;)

One guys problem won't make me not buy Choker traffic. I would like to hear the explanation. Of course Choker isn't trying to rip anyone off. The poster posed a question. Let's hear the answer.

The traffic you get from choker comes from sites that sell traffic to choker,,, I am 99% certain that one of the resellers is cheating choker.. the cheater is probably using a hitbot to earn $$ to buyback real traffic,, Check the referring urls for those ips & see if they all come from the same site,,

That sounds about right. Hopefully Choker will be able to stop this crap, since it hurts us all.

you are an idiot

if you have a qaulity product people will buy regardless of any complaints

all issues should be made public like this it keeps everyone in a straight line and on their toes

what if choker really was sending fake traffic on purpose and he contacted choker and choker said ok you got me I will fix yours but lets keep this between us??????????????????????????????????

full disclosure in a free market is the only way to go and with that you really do go on ignore now

bye forever idiot

he is travelling right now i would guess.

most likely has no idea that this is going on.

give the guy time....everyone leaves their computers around internext time

It's obvious you don't know a fucking thing about Choker or what kind of person he is,

and you're calling orl360 an idiot??

I sincerely hope it's "goodbye forever", this board could do with less goofballs like you.

Do I cry now? I am forever on your ignore list...stupid fuck...

Anyways yes perfect plan...because choker made an extra $8 ripping him off...Thanks for the new thread in my honor ;)

Wild guess... You're dumb, right?
