Business.com is filtering click-fraud…but wow!

I complained a couple months ago about Business.com hammering me with click-fraud. I called them to complain (to deaf ears), but clicks did drop dramatically, so I decided to let things ride.

When I was looking at my site stats for December, I was ready to hit the roof. Business.com was the top referring domain, even over Google! One product page in particular jumped dramatically in traffic. Seething, I hit my account on their website to find me billed for only about 6% of those click-thrus.

It is good to see them filtering the click-fraud, but the activity is throwing off my tracking. The heavy traffic shows they have a big problem to deal with. But, busy guy that I am, I will let my account continue to be active.

  1. Dave,Are you still using Business.com and what is your recent experience?I just signed up with them last week and one one of my keywords shows a total of over 70 clicks the last 2 days while Google Analytics show 17 clicks for my entire site!

  3. David, I’ve always noticed variations in the clicks recorded by other sites and the number of visitors I recorded. That variation is way out of whack, tho–and not sure why.I’m not currently active with biz.com, so no stats to look at for comparison.
