anyone see if this ip is hitting your server?



It clicked on of my ads today. Its on level3 so I would assume it was a spider that hit the ad. Thats all it did though was click, hit my page, left

edit: trace it, you'll see who it is
 
its done it 373 time in the past 30 days on landers I haven't used in forever using weird keywords
 
I had that IP hit my pages today. Also had an IP from India try a DOS attack but failed pretty miserably.

Sounds like MSN/Bing to me. The IP does trace into Seattle, and I've had MSN index landing pages I've only used on AdWords before (ranking me nicely for some phrases and providing some effortless, free sales).

After doing a traceroute from a second machine, I can see another 2 hops in to the traceroute - The last hops it hits before timing out is 131.107.204.178, which is an IP owned by Microsoft.

Interesting. it is hitting old, unindexed facebook URLs of mine that haven't been run in months. I wonder if they regularly keep tabs on FB ads

That's pretty weird. I wonder if something is afoot. Hate to be a conspiracy monger, but Bing and FB going to be launching a joint advertising relationship soon? MS has what like 250M in that game? It wouldn't surprise me. Hello Bing contextual.
 
Just checked, and it has hit one site of mine 16 times this month.

I can say with 100% certainty that the hits I am seeing are coming through Google content, all with unique gclids, no referrer and definately not human. I doubt that Microsoft is click-frauding, so I can not make sense of it at this point.
