A: Keypoints of this script includes. . .
1. <%=lsSITENAME%> returns productive hits by using large text links.
2. The script never resets, it simply keeps track of the traffic you sent within the past 24 hours.
What does this mean? It means no race for #1 position on reset. When multiple script sites
have reset at the same time, what happens is called a "deadlock"...
each site is waiting to receive hits from the other site. With our script,
this never happens. Your hits in will never be reset to 0. The only way it will become 0 is if you do not send traffic for a contigous 24 hour period.
Example:
40 hits 1st hour
30 hits 2nd hour
50 hits 3rd hour
20 hits 4th hour
.
.
.
35 hits 24th hour
55 hits current hour
The current hour (55 hits) will drop off the first hour (40 hits). Then the current hour (55 hits) will be added. As you can see it simply cycles through the last 24 hours of traffic your site sent.
3. The script was designed to return your share of the traffic by
assigning your site a weight by the amount of traffic you sent in the past 24
hours. Some scripts will return a large amount of traffic to #1 referrer and not so much to #2 referrer... even if the #1 referrer is ahead by only 1 hit.
With this script, if you are our #1 referrer with 800 hits and the #2 referrer has only
400 hits, our script will send you back twice as many hits. It proportionally returns hits to what you send.
There are no max limits or ratios so this means large returns for the top 15-20 sites or more and a fair trade for others. This way everyone is happy. :-)
Note: The script updates every 15 minutes.
