Stuff like that is fine, Dr. Mike. We filter out traffic from search bots like that already, so it won't show up on your Project Wonderful ad boxes. These autosurfing sites explicitly try to get around the fact that bot traffic is filtered by basically turning people into the bots: they're rewarded for clicking on sites and so on. Not an issue!

We use an <a href="www.auditmypc.com/free-sitemap-generator.asp" rel="nofollow">external Google sitemap creator</a> that runs through our sites every couple of days. We use this specifically as it also checks for broken links. I don't think the page views that it generates shows up here but it's a matter of concern since you bring it up. Is this an issue?

By the way, autosurfs are just a small part of the whole thing. There's also traffic exchanges in general, and "paid to click" sites. The general idea is the same though, "you view my website and I view yours", or "I get paid some money for visiting other peoples' websites directly". As long as these and ad systems don't mix, it's alright :) I’m glad to know that Project Wonderful is taking action against people using these sites to artificially increase their web traffic.
