Don't get me wrong - I'm all for taking away revenue from fraudulent clicks. However, in this case, I had set it up so that natural traffic from my domains actually pointed to one domain (so you would type in a.com and click, and it would show up under stats as b.com). You could check where the clicks were coming from when you analyzed the click terms - you knew that a.com's clicks would show up as description 'a' (or something similar) and b.com would show up as description 'b', so to have whole days 'discounted' as fraudulent (how could they all be fraudulent when there were different terms clicked on ie they came from different domains?) was a huge blow for me as it knocked out *all* my domain revenues rather than just the one domain...yes, perhaps this was a really stupid way of setting this up....but you make to mistakes to learn from them

Secondly, they told me it was Overture who had discounted the clicks - when I actually know that Overture deduct for fraudulent clicks at the END of each month, and they do NOT deduct on a daily basis. When I challenged this, they are now saying that what they said before isn't correct and it's in fact "robots" creating these clicks.

I promise I'm not a difficult customer, it just all sits a bit uneasy with me. I've used sedo and a few others before, and they have always been top-class, however for my domains GK pay out more which is why I'm mainly with them and which is why I was interested to see how NameDrive compared to GK in terms of payout.

Anyway, I'll move a handful of domains at the end of this month and see how it goes.

Thanks for the replies
