Professor,
Clearly your frustration speaking and you are right. It is very frustrating. It is the crime of the 21st century.
We are probably one of your sites that are under attack. We received a letter and immediately received the huge amounts of traffic. Even to such an extend where the island was struggling. Good thing is that when the island is struggling, you get attention from the government. I know that everything is being done to minimize the damage. It will probably be very hard to stop these attacks. But companies can work towards minimizing the impact they have.
Clicks in PPS C SE do get lost, every affiliate person that tells you otherwise is lying. We all lose business because of it.
I know from our testing that if visitors can get through, all is tracked. However don’t ask how many clicks that might have cost.
I see no other option but staying on top of your marketing and postpone where possible.
Our visitors can always call in to place their bets, all is still tracked. Hoever updating the stats might be delayed as the transfer of data between the systems is locked as well.

Thanks and good luck to all!
