Sending out far to little to trades - why?

[bladex21]

Hi, we are using your great script on a lot of sites by now
I do not undertand some numbers in tradescript - can you help?

Clicks and hits out to trades dont match according to my calculations..

Total trades clicks = 11000
noref clicks = 21000
SE clicks = 22000
This gives total = 54000 clicks
with a skim of 60% I should send out 21600 hits to my trades.
I only send out 11800.
- any idea why? Or do I misunderstand something?

For example if you have category thumbs at your index page - clicks at categories are also counted but it goes to category page with skimming 100%, so you real skimming (which you can see at trade screen BTW) will be higher.

[bladex21]

we do not have category thumbs - so all clicks go out through skimmed thumbs or toplist.
Real skimming is 74.75 %.

So this still doesnt add up as I understand it?

Ok, post skimming by trades plz
may be it's 60 for regular traders and 100 for noref for example.

[bladex21]

I'm not sure what "skimming by trades" is.
All Sys. Traders (except mobile and spiders which are 100) are set to 101 - Default Skimming is set to 60.
We also have 41000 noref traffic on this site, which seems far to much with a grand total of 72000.

We are going to setup a lot more sites with this script, and would like to be sure its set up correctly, before proceeding. Would it be possible to send you url and login in PM and you could shave a look when you have time? Stats seems wrong to me..

Would be much appreciated

Yes

I guess that noref being 60% of all traffic is something .. wrong )

do you include any files from this domain in flash player ? did you check noref Ips ?

[bladex21]

I will send you a pm later today.

I did not add any files in the flash player. I use x hamster vids. Embeded.

No-ref ips is from all the world. Looks good.

You set 404 page to script.

Each browser requests favourite.ico and this way create a hit in script.

Do not point 404 pages to script.

[bladex21]

Where do you see it calls favourite.ico ?

The 404 we will fixx.

Also my host says.


The 20 SmartCJ crontabs running every minute each, at the same time, are not good. I wonder if you could run these less often and staggered between 2 and 10 minutes each?

[admin]

I see it in any browser.

You didn't fix 404.

It's ok to run 20 crontabs each minutes, but it's also good to read
