Hi guys

I had best explain (in more detail) all that I know to date and hopefully get a valid opinion from you all.

First, I don't run a paysite but run a gay porn blog, actually I run three. Two are up and running fully the third is in the process of development. The two that are running ok are what is bothering me at present.

Basically, I simply direct traffic to various paysites via reviews etc on the blogs. You all know how this works so I wont bore you all with that. Several weeks ago, I noticed tht I could not get through to a particular site that I wont mention here, but I had a bad vibe about. This persisted for almost a week before I decided to write to the webmaster and ask what the problem was as I had the feeling that he had banned my sites IP's.

He informed me that his site had been under a DOS attack and that the server had automatically banned several IP's. Fair enough, if that was the case then It would eventually be cleared. No. It continued. I emailed him again. He said that his site had been out of commision of 20 hours... yet during the time his site was supposed to be out of commision, I was able to go to another site and reach his... it was fine. This started me thinking about a certain other individual that just happens to be doing the same thing I am, but, I dont think he is too happy about that fact. Tough, thats the way things are. He also happens to be a really big friend of the webmaster of the site I just mentioned.

Now, maybe Im getting paranoid but I have a feeling that between them they are trying to discredit me and the sites I run. I have no proof of this so therefore I am saying as little as possible at the moment.

Put that together with the fact that CCBill have been a bit odd with me lately and I get more than just a feeling here. My stats are definitely telling me that people are indeed buying... In the past 10 days I have not made one sale... normally I would have made quite a few.

I have gone through all the links... they are fine and correct. I have gone through the templates and all is ok as far as I can make out. Only two things have changed in the last few weeks... the main template that I use and the statistical package that I use. This morning I changed back to the old stats package in case it was the new one causing problems. This really is a complete nightmare. Am I being paranoid. Is it possible that what I percieve to be happening, is happening? Could it have been the template change that has altered something... but I find that notion a bit silly, but who knows.

Opinions, I would really respect yours?

Feedback would be great and very appreciated. Hope what I have said helps but it may not. Thanks again.

James
