Killdozer, hi
I have Version 1.0.7 build 38.
I have count clicks from user: 15 clicks
After 15 clicks, clicks are collected (for administrative purposes) under 'notcounted' column.
In fact however, those clicks are going out to the galleries/trades, which is fine.
The problem is: the clicks going out to trades (I am talking about the 'notcounted' hits) are administratively added up to the 'out to trades' counter.
So, they dilute dynamic skim.
Imho, notcounted hits should go normally to trades/galleries as they do (because I set in table of specialized out settings to be treated as normal traffic), HOWEVER these should not be counted administratively = they should not be added up to trades out !
This is still the case.
I am unable to use dynamic skim based on return, because I cannot get realistic figures.
Imho, the traffic that should be administratively 'counted' and added up to the 'out to trades' should be real human traffic as well as only traffic that is within the 'clicks to count from user'.
So:
1. clicks to trades, coming from trades (this is already like this)
2. bookmark traffic (this is already like this)
3. search engine traffic (this is already like this)
4. no trade human traffic (this is already like this)
5. no ref in traffic (this is already like this)
robots traffic definitely should not be added up to outs to trade administratively, and you already fixed that.
nocookie traffic the same, and you fixed that as well (we have choice to count it or no)
HOWEVER: notcounted traffic!
This should also go normally out as regular traffic, right, since it is HUMAN traffic as well!
BUT!!!!
It should not be added up administratively to the 'out to trades', because it is more than the 'clicks to count from user value.
Please tell me if you think differently.
Let me tell you: after upgrading to Ion Cube version I used dynamic for one day (based on return of course). I was not around, I did not even look at my TPs for one day. Result after one day: I lost 70% of my traffic.
Why?
because 'notcounted' was huge, (people clicked much much more time than 15), and all that was going out to trades (which is fine), however It was counted and added to 'out to trades' value, so my return looked great, and TP switched to very friendly skim (based on my dynamic rules).
And I lost massive traffic.
For now, I still cannot use dynamic based on return.
Regards!
