    I keep getting hits about every 5-10 seconds from http://user/Myads/yahoocpc.asp with ISP of 67.182.103.198.

    Is this some automated program to jack up my Yahoo PPC fees?

    I ran the ISP and it seems to be flagged for some reason, but I can't tell what for. I have blocked it, but am REAL curious as to what this is!

    Probably a competitor trying to get even or something... ask your PPC company(ies) to flag this IP as a cheater and request your money back if this is the case.

    surely it is automated script, it does something on your site. I had to deal with that kind of thing with one of my sites, later I blocked local referers and it worked

    you can easily use javascript to handle this thing. put this js code on header or the landing page.

    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
    /**** if any masking used, redirect ***/
    //var refUrl=document.referrer.toLowerCase();
    var refUrl=document.domain.toLowerCase();
    if(refUrl!=null && refUrl.indexOf('webcosmo.com')<0)
    {
    window.location = "http://www.webcosmo.com/";
    //return;
    }
    </script>

    give it a test first. i had some people using domain masking to forward visitors to our site and improve their ranking on search engines. we stopped them this way.
