    I checked both my awstats and my WP "Statpress" plugin. No unusual activity; in fact the last couple days were on the low side of average for visitors - live, bots, everything.

    Yesterday the total clicks were about 1100 -- and today (so far) it's at over 1600 clicks! And still no sales. But the clicks can't be real because my visitors total is the same, and I haven't even updated the site in a few weeks.

    But then, I've gotten about $20 from CJ in the last couple days and can't figure out why (not sales, performance incentives, or bonus). Maybe all my sites are haunted...

    I think a lot of those "clicks" are bots...

    From what I've seen, epn is no slower than CJ's reporting (if anything, CJ was faster...)

    For some strange reason, the eBay reports are registering some heavy bot activity as clicks. This introduces bizzaar distortions in metrics. Why they would do it this way this is beyond comprehension.

    Like others, I'm seeing thousands of clicks on sites where traffic bears no resemblence to what eBay is showing.
