There's a lot of unique situations in this case that have been touched on, but not clearly addressed all at once, so let me see if I can exaplain them.

Jim asked Greg to contact him & he showed Jim Plateman's stats within 10 minutes - he's what SIC Cash (and Jim) saw:

90% of the traffic was from the Link Bot (NOT a Hit Bot, but a link checking program that most Link List owners use)
The Link Bot was being run VERY often - sometimes 15-20 times a day.
Each time the Link Bot ran, each link that Plateman had up got a "hit"
Now, if you take away the hits that the Link Bot sent, he was converting better than 1:2
If you look at the IP's of the signups that he got, they were all very similar & all started with the same Class (like 123.45.XX.XXX)

Based on this, if I was a sponsor, I would have instantly suspected fraud.

Now, knowing Plateman as I do, I probably would have contacted him, but I'm sure SIC Cash sees a lot of this type of thing & is probably sick of dealing with webmasters on the other end.

Plateman - you need to MOVE ON! I know you're hurt about being called a cheat - I've been there myself a couple of times. I think you deserve the $55 and if it was my program, I would have sent it to you just to shut you up

Long story short - write if off as a loss, pull the links & get back to work.

Hell, I bet you could've made the $55 back by building sites & working on the Link Site instead of investing all this time into things
