How is ReachLocal.com doing this?

Yo geniuses, this is more than two simple frames. It's not what affbuzz does. Affbuzz is just a frame for their own site, then a frame for the blog. Reachlocal is a frame for reachlocal, then a frame for cascadedental.reachlocal.com (aka reachlocal owned content). cascadedental.reachlocal.com is the reverse proxy, which literally just grabs the content and outputs it to the user. Note: these will show up as hits for the owners of the cascadedentalsite, but they will all be hits from the IP address of reachlocal's reverse proxy server.

Also, although there are all sorts of semi complicated ways to make strong reverse proxies (squid is commonly used - look it up), the most basic one you can do is a simple:

Code: 
<?php echo file_get_contents('http://www.google.com'); ?>

I'm confused on something here. If all the clicks come from the same IP, how do they get away with it as far as G is concerned?
 
We used to do this shit along time. I am sure the technology has changed.

But in like 2003ish we would use cUrl to the pull the page content then you can simply search for what you want a replace it then display the page. All can be done in real time.

Do you know of an available script that can do this easily?
 
Reach Local has an Exclusive with Google Europe to promote "local" search. Also- watch the IPO.

They use an 800 number tracking company via API to track all phone calls.

Their market value is roughly 800 million. They take 50% of your PPC budget and pocket it.

- Great "out of box" solution to small businesses that have no clue what is going on but want to be on Google.

"reverse proxy" technology ... not hard to track what they do, do not know of any automated scripts.
