There is one way it can happen if the bot travels their database. Now do you know anyone who lets a bot spider a affilate database? If a a affiliates database could be spidered then I could just walk in I retreive the information on my own. Cloaking, cloninig, would be no problem and us affiliates would not have worry no more about our stats. greek39
Humorous & confusing, but FYI: Our database is not available via http or https protocols. Not to mention the bot would need to pass the daemons’ native authentication. Furthermore, I have yet to find any http/ftp bot that can traverse a relational database schema.
