Haha. Here's another one I am skeptical about - BlinkX. Edit: I just went to check their stock price - it's down 12%. Hmmm, I thought, has Autonomy cast a shadow on UK techs? Wait a minute - who's this grimmacing at me down the bottom? http://markets.ft.com/research/Markets/Tearsheets/Summary?s=BLNX:LSE http://markets.ft.com/research/Markets/Tearsheets/Summary?s=... It's only Dr Mike Lynch, Non-Executive Director. Who'd have thunk it?

We at OpenDNS have believed BlinkX to have something less than above board going on based on some VERY UNUSUAL traffic patterns that we started to notice a couple years ago related to ad clicks. Ad clicks that we couldn't explain in any legitimate way. We never dived too deep, and never pursued, so no evidence to present, just a theory we had internally.

  If you don't mind, could you perhaps shed a bit of light on this (or if not on this situation in particular, on the type of data to which you're referring)? I've often thought of DNS-derived data as a potential source of independent info on traffic patterns, fraudulent clicks, etc., so I'm particularly curious.
