Jonaid Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Hey all, I'm looking to make a custom stats tracker to see where my visitors are coming from and how many times they've visited (thus being able to find out my unique visitors) I figured that I'd track unique visitors via IP tracking but i was just wondering how the big 'uns track users and how you can tell/guess that the person has cheated to get a higher hit? i.e. How does Adsense know that your changing your dynamic IP to get more money or that you're using a spider or something? Thanks, Jonaid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitman6003 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 They don't know that a different IP is the same guest. Generally the way they detect fraud is trend anlysis. If your site regularly generates 100 clicks per hour on average, then all of a sudden that number jumps to 10000 clicks per hour, they are going to suspect something. Google is one of the best out there at doing statistical analysis of just about everything......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
