I still see a lot of ATS sites that don't follow two simple rules to prevent wrong out counts.
Therefore I post it here again!

It is important that the following two things are implemented in your ATS arcade:

1. You must set up a robots.txt textfile that disallows spiders accessing your out.php!
If you don't have a robots.txt at all, create a textfile with the following two lines and upload it to the root of your site (same place where the out.php sits).
Code:
Code:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /out.php
If you already have a robots.txt in the root of your site, simply add this two lines and upload it again.

2. You must assure that ALL (ALL!!!) links that lead out via out.php open in a new window!
This is very important. If you don't do this, you will get very wrong out statistics on your side and your trades will die sooner or later!
The links that lead out via out.php are on game icons in the pregame pages, on links in the "top referrers list" panel, on links in the traffic trade statistics and on banners that lead out (100x100 pixel for example).
All these links have to be changed so that they open in a new window.

BTW: This might also apply to other trade arcade systems.

Thanks.
