Why can’t I redirect flagged clicks to a different URL?


Some of our users who sell “solo ads” have asked us to add the ability to redirect flagged clicks to a separate URL. While this is understandable on the surface, we haven’t done this for two reasons:


Reason #1: Our auditing system is over 99% accurate.

That means out of every 100 flagged clicks you’d be lucky to find one click that was flagged incorrectly.

There’s no point in redirecting this traffic anywhere because you simply can’t make money off of it, and an occasional click that’s flagged incorrectly isn’t going to affect your stats in any statistically significant way.

And if you’re wondering why this can happen every now and then, please see the article below:

Why would a real person be flagged as a Bot or Server?


Reason #2: Unfortunately, each and every day we see people mistakenly adding sales conversion tracking pixels to their opt-in and other inappropriate pages, resulting in incredibly inaccurate stats.

If we allowed users to redirect flagged clicks separately, this would result in some inattentive users seeing “sales” generated by “clicks” from bots and other automated processes due to sales tracking pixels being placed on publicly accessible pages and incorrect pages …

… and this would result in massive amounts of confusion, “unsolvable” support tickets, and tons of wasted time that would do us all a lot more harm than good.
