Hi, I making a banner exchange script. Members will have to place a banner code on their sites to make banners appear. Some members might cheat by using bots to refresh the page to gain impressions and to waste other members impressions so i wanted to know if bots have ip addresses? because i want to only give member impressions if their visitors have ip. What are the other things i can do to check if members are cheating?. Thanks

 

$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

To expand: everything on the internet has an ip address. That's how it works :)

 

There are several things you might be able to try as far as checking if members are cheating. None of them will work 100% of the time.

-Store IP and Useragent string in db. Only allow impression to count if they haven't visited before.

-Set a cookie that lasts for 6 months or something when visiting the impression page. Only count impressions that don't have the cookie present.
