ok i really am losing hits
 

i really am losing hits, i just added a thumb script, and now that i can see exactly how much i am sending sponsors i can see that only a smal percentage of my hits are beign counted, within a hour i had about 100 clicks on all the sponsors and for example one of them only counted 1000 for all time!!!!!! I have to be losing hits somehow that is the only explanation.

anyone know how it could happen?

The sponsor is counting 2.nd page hits?

they count everything 1st page 2nd page trailer views join page, and all my numbers are very very low compared to how much traffic i send them

Are you counting thumb clicks to hosted galleries? or clicks direct to the sponsor tour? The sponsor is only going to count the latter, plus clicks from the galleries thru to the tour.

What script are you using?

cjoverkill and smartthumbs

Sending hits to a Hosted Gallery is not sending hits to a sponsor. They do not count those. They count hits to a tour only.

I'm thinking that's the problem as well.

yes that is the problem i assumed it mean the fhg.

so your thumb script... Is your thumb script sending straight to the tour from the thumb? Or is it going to a gallery first? If you are sending the surfer to the gallery you don't know how many surfers are clicking on from the gallery to the tour. If you are sending the surfer straight to the tour from the thumb... well that is kinda blind linking. I mean already you are probs skimming the clicks to get more traffic and then even when they don't get another tgp they are just going straight to the tour. If that is the case though the clicks should match up pretty close.

yeah FHG aren't counted.

there lots of reasons why hits aren't counted .. with tgps it often because your top traders are advertising the same sponsor and the sponsor only counts uniques, so you are both getting the same surfers to the same sponsor
