Concept of work:
A counter of DF™ Cheat Analyzer is installed on the site which receives the traffic. Employing special algorithms, the system collects
information about the traffic being sent (over 25 parameters), and distributes traffic according to its sources (sites or trades).
Then, the system analyzes the data obtained and gives its evaluation of traffic from every source, taking into account he importance
of every traffic parameter, and total traffic amount. It results in three values: cheat value, difference value, and quality value
(the administrator can set custom factors to influence the calculation of traffic parameters). Comparing these parameters, one can
easily see the differences and determine the overall value of traffic being sent from this or that source. Also, detailed statistics
per every traffic source is available, with values highlighted according to the difference between actual traffic parameters and values
set up by the administrator.
System information:
• The system counts all the page loads for the page where the counter is placed (SSI, PHP, Perl),
unlike other systems which depend on page code and counter image.
• The system accumulates and analyzes over 25 traffic parameters (Raw, Uniq, Load, NAProxy, AProxy, Cookie, JS, ActiveX, Frame, GeoIP...).
Frames are detected, a proxy list is used along with lists of unwanted countries and
languages. Also, some advanced mechanisms are available meant to work with
different browsers, which allow detecting artificially generated traffic
with a high degree of reliability.
• The system's counter can be placed to the pages of CJ/TOP to analyze
trade traffic. This allows analyzing the traffic of every trade and spot
artificial traffic. A manual is available covering setting up the system to
work with toplists powered by DF TopList Pro/Lite.
• The entire system is build in C++ and shows great performance results,
having relatively minor hosting requirements. No MySQL, cron, Perl, Php etc
are used.
