Case Study Test: Plugrush Mobile Redirect | Are we getting ripped off?

Ok, so most of you know plugrush pays good money for mobile redirects. All you do is set up a script code in your website and all of your mobile traffic gets redirected and you get paid per mobile visit. Well I had a feeling that all of my mobile traffic redirects wasn't getting counted for, so I made a new Plugrush mobile redirect script for my website dirtyuploadcom and bought 1000 unique iphone mobile visitors from TH. Here are the results:

TH sent 1000 unique iphone mobile visitors in 1 hour.

Plugrush credited my account with 385 mobile redirects.

WTF is that? Only credited for 385 redirects out of 1000? They stole 61.5% of my traffic.

Anyone else having the same issues?

See picture proof below:

Only speaking for myself.. but I don't like being redirected, do you? I would assume most advanced users do as I do and click their back button when they end up at an irrelevant site or upon seeing a redirect. I would assume visitors like that wouldn't be counted but I don't know the specifics of Plugrush. I would assume also that the program is supposed to count uniques not raw visitors and that there isn't credit for all countries. That's all I have on the subject.

This is a 1 time test. I think everyone here is missing the point. I guess none of you who use PR are concerned with getting skimmed by more than 60%

Did you set up the alternative url option? Test it.
The most of broker can't sell your all mobile traffic.
for example:
Ero-ad send ch wifi-traffic to brokerbabe & paying 0 for you

Yeah that's obvious. they just steal the other 60%. Did you read anything or just blahblah? They took all 1000 hits, because none of them hit my website, and only paid for 385. So where did the other 615 unique visitors go if they didn't hit my website? Another who misses the point.

What? Do you know how a redirect works? Instead of landing on a page, you get redirected and land on another page. Bounce rate wouldn't have anything to do with it. A unique visitor is a a unique visitor. I think PR needs to address this issue and has some explaining to do. I know I am all set dealing with a company who pays for 1/3 of traffic. You think PR only billed advertisers for 1/3 of the 1000 uniques they got from me? I highly doubt it.

Maybe TH didn't sed you full 1000 visitors. Maybe half their visitors are bots.

Anyway, half of the traffic at such brokers is total bullshit.

This.

You can not make a case study with traffic bought from TH or any of that kind of broker. I mean, you can't, really.

I'm going to guess it's a hell of a lot more than half.
