i did... it was...

www.vstrippoker.com/refer.php... the only traffic that would register to that page was his...

i did get 3k hits after I asked... many, many times for my money back because the traffic was not being sent

just to clarify those hits... he told me to check my stats and see if i saw 3 urls... i did...

I posted them prior... that then stopped after I saw the hits and again no traffic...

Also... those sites were infected with trojans and tube sites... if you know what that means...

got stats for that page?

mmcfadden: got stats for that /refer.php page?
got "no referffer"/"Direct address"/"Bookmarks" stats?

I sent that page up to track "free" signups...

Here is a copy of that page... "3, 4, and 5" are the sites of the three urls that he gave me a good amount of time after I paid him and back and forth on emails/icq's. That is page 34 of 35...

Read these emails... icqs if you want...

www.vstrippoker.com/sordidheadache.doc
www.vstrippoker.com/sordidproposal.doc

I don't have exact results for those pages except the php file confirming the free signups. Maybe he knows how to track it... i'll ask him... but also the dates are kinda important here.

And if stephen sent traffic it would have been already after I told him enough is enough and for likely the 3rd or 4th time that I wanted my money back.

But even so... I need the url's to track the results... not just some clicks from who knows where..

I am reporting my experience.

I'm reading the emails right now, but the question i've got for you is "How many no-referrer hits did you get?"

I can't find where in awstats it lists that... maybe you take a screenshot of your Cpanel and show me?

in the left panel (in awstats):

Referrers:
Origin
... Referring search engines
... Referring sites
Search
... Search Keyphrases
... Search Keywords

click on Origin.

Direct address / Bookmark / Link in email... 346756 69.1 % 1729369 66.7 %

That's what is says...

There is no additional link to the "non-referring" sites.

"Direct address / Bookmark / Link in email... 346756 69.1 % 1729369 66.7 %"

Those are your no-referrer hits:
bookmarkers
direct type-ins
...
and possibly traffic that was redirected to your site using certain javascripts (or flash...)

so might want to compare that amount/percentage of traffic with the amount of no-referrer traffic you got in previous months...

</ my 2 cents>

Last month I started an email campaign so my stat percentages would be different...

I posted all my correspondence...

I had enough after weeks of bullshit...

Looking at your alexa for vstrippoker.com it does seem like since the start of june you bounce rate is 2.5 times higher than normal which means that you are receiving larger quantities of low quality traffic than usual.
Especially at the start of July you had a small spike in your reach rank as well.
It appears like something was delivered.

Here is my advice for anyone buying traffic.
Setup a script that will track the following:
-Referring URL (or lack of that)
-Country
-Proxies
-Daily stats
-Option to track "sales"

Buying traffic based on referring domain is asking for problems.

P.S. neither of you will post facts so you are both wrong and the refund should be sent to me :pimp

should have set up
a /fromsordidtraffic.php page
a /fromemailcampaign.php page
a /fromtrafficbrokerx.php page
a /fromtrafficbrokery.php page
imho

edit... that bounce rate wasn't from him...

He didn't start to send traffic till june 23

i tried to edit that again... that 23d is when he said he was sending traffic that did not register
