50 blocked ip addresses - but no comments - 6wks

Post by novice1 »

Script URL:
Version of script: gbook v1.7
Hosting company:
URL of phpinfo.php:
URL of session_test.php:
What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution:
tracking code - blocked ip
Write your message below:

I think i have a problem with gbook 1.7. I have been using it for about a 6 weeks now without any comments at all, but about 40% of visitors go to that page! But there are 50 blocked ip addresses in the blocked ip file. Is 50 blocked ip addresses in 6 weeks an unusually high amount, or average?

Most of my traffic is from Austrailia and the UK. Could this be a problem.

Also I do some "pay per click" advertising with yahoo and the destination url that the searcher clicks on has analytics tracking code attached. So when they get to my site this is a sample of what is automatically entered into the address bar:

siteaddress/?utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term={overkey}&utm_campaign=Campaign1

Could the tracking code or foriegn countries cause a problem? What about the 50 blocked ip addresses?

I disabled the junkmark filter as a test.

Thanks very much for your help. Your expertise is much appreciated!!!

Post the URL address of your guestbook and we will test it, without that it's no way of telling if it works or not.

I was able to post without problems, so it seems to work.

Thanks Mr Stirn,

thanks very much for testing my guest book. I saw the message you posted as a test. I guess this means everything is working OK. Sorry to be so thick headed, but i am a novice at all this.
