Whats going On?

[karter9977]

Im lost. One of my names had like 90 clicks on it today, and now its saying only 17 clicks. Another one of my names had 11 clicks and now has 0 clicks and another name I have that usually doesnt get any clicks has 22 clicks today. Are there bots clicking or something?

They do not count all clicks. They are all adjusted, including the $ amount you receive.

Sometimes if it comes from same IP, they do not count the clicks.

Yea Im just guessing a bot or something is messing with my names.

We had one of the largest botnet attacks I have ever seen. It was actually pretty cool to watch, and plug some of our holes that they found. Close to 6 times more today than normal. It was insane.

Back to work.

http://parked.com doesnt even load here. When I check my domains all I get is...

banned interdit verboden vietato prohibido verboden banned vietato interdit proibido vietato interdit verboden banned prohibido

We don't block anybody from getting to parked.com, only to their domain names. That banned, bla bla bla, is when trying to view your domains. Send me your ip address and I'll take a look.

ilovedomains - That would mean that your ip is completely blacklisted by our netops team. It seems your ip has clicked out more than 500 times today. If you have a dedicated ip address, I recommend doing a full spyware sweep because you probably have a some type of spyware or something. If this isn't a dedicated ip, get a different one and you should be able to access it fine. But right now this ip is dead.

something is controlling your computer dude...i.e. it's most likely hacked

Scare him good focus lol!

With as many different bots that hit us today, I thought it was a good time to run a check on my machines as well. Sometimes it's just a good idea to run a few different programs to make sure everything is just fine.

This bot or another apparently hit me as well. No biggie, PPC is steadily improving.

Don, be sure to leave your feedback at my blog's Sedo vs Parked comparison

Donny,

if you get a minute , could you explain to all of us who don't know :

why bots ( for what reason ? )

as i understand there are scripts on servers that visit a certain ip contantly , but why ?

if it is for click fraud - a little script that only allowed one visit per day per ip on each domain - this wouldn't be difficult to do.

but maybe i don't quite understand the bot thingy,so could you explain ?

Personally, I enjoy the multiple clicks per visitor revenue. Don't you?

Donny, I just started an account at Parked.com last week, and I need to know if this
is why the stats are so low?
