Since a couple a days I have a hosting problem (500 error). My provider told me that I have a script who is using more resources then the shared hosting server allows. BUT, I only have 1000 uniques/day for all my sites. From my point of view, that wasn't enough to explain it. So I dug a little bit in my stats:

Last 5 days. Stats from my hosting
Thursday : 483 uniques
Friday : 403 uniques
Saturday : 508 uniques
Sunday : 53,835 uniques???
Monday : 75,964 uniques???

Most of this traffic came from : 163data.com.cn

I don't think it's a "legit" traffic, because Google analystic gave me only 11 uniques yesterday and Adsense +/- 125 impressions.

Any ideas???

Thank you

Is someone linking to an image that you might be hosting? You might want to protect them from other sites from linking to them.

I know in cPanel, you can use the HotLink Protection feature.

All the hits go to the home page. I put the website back online, you can take a look. Just make some "refresh" if you have a 500 error. I dig my stats and here's the Top 10 Internet provider (2 days only)

1 163data.com.cn 13906 30.74%
2 comcast.net 1639 3.62%
3 proxad.net 1093 2.42%
4 t-dialin.net 1008 2.23%
5 rr.com 1007 2.23%
6 t-ipconnect.de 835 1.85%
7 wanadoo.fr 811 1.79%
8 charter.com 784 1.73%
9 tpnet.pl 627 1.39%
10 asianet.co.th 501 1.11%

How about referring websites?

1 proxy.org 30 60.00%
2 rosinstrument.com 4 8.00%
3 top100proxysites.com 3 6.00%

5 seventwentyfour.com 2 4.00%
50 results from 129799 unique visits of which 129749 unknown/could not be evaluated

Do you normally have traffic from proxy.org?

Yes, but it's only 30 in the last 2 days on 129799 visits...

Browser version
1 Firefox 2.0 = 123676 - 95.42%
2 Firefox 1.5 = 2784 - 2.15%
3 Mozilla 5 = 2173 - 1.68%
4 Internet Explorer 7.0 = 376 - 0.29%
5 Internet Explorer 6.0 = 299 - 0.23%

I know this may sound stupid, but you asked your host what script is using the resources?

No, but all thoses stats are for afreesurf.com domain only.

Ask your host if they can find out what script is using the resources.

Ok. But do you have an explanation?

Looks like they're a spammer. Do you have any mail scripts on your site? That may well be what they're trying to abuse.

I don't have any mail script.

163data.com.cn is not in spam databases

Doesn't mean it's not a spammer. Looks like people abuse it quite a bit because it assigns IPs dynamically.

hotlinking or spammer... How can I know?

Spammer : I don't have any mail script
Hotlinking : I don't have any images

Adsense and Google analytic don't give any stats... All I have is the stats I pulished here.

Average page view per visit : 1,6

Where's Criss Angel when we need him?

Ok, I got it now...

Example:

www.dompass.info and enter http://olivierbonnet.canalblog.com/images/paris_hilton_1.jpg and click SURF

Results : http://www.dormpass.info/index.php?q=aHR0cDovL29saXZpZXJib25uZXQuY2FuYWxibG 9nLmN vbS9pbWFnZXMvcGFyaXNfaGlsdG9uXzEuanBn&hl=3ed

I put this link somewhere between (img) when 100,000 peoples can see it and BINGO! I'm dead...

Here's an update...
Yesterday, I removed the proxy script and killing the hotlinking. I keep my page online with a text and Adsense adds. I dug in my stats and all of the traffic want to reach yahoo.com. The link was www.afreesurf.com/index.php?hl=f5&q=uggc%3A%2F%2Fjjj.lnubb.pbz and you were automatically redirect to yahoo.com directly bypassing my website. That's why I had 75,000 uniques visits, but only 100 impressions in Adsense...

So, I redirect this link to my home page. Just try the link www.afreesurf.com/index.php?hl=f5&q=uggc%3A%2F%2Fjjj.lnubb.pbz. I hoped keeping the 75,000 uniques and having more Adsense impressions because now they reach my page instead of Yahoo. The problem is, that my Adsense impressions are not higher now even if I still have 75,000 uniques...

Any thoughts on this?

Let's try something else... I will park the domain at Sedo and we will see if the impressions / clicks will be higher
