I set up a page last week that no one knows about, no one can get to it unless by chance they want to spend the rest of their lives guessing the URL.

I put up google ads pointing to that address.

I also put a script that sends me an email the moment the page loads, yes I've tested it several times, and got other people to test it too..

Google says It sent me 3 hits and has charged me for them, yet I got no emails!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is anyone else doing this? Could be interesting!

What is the basis of the script? Does the email come as a result of a server side action or a built in javascript on the page? Many people have browsers set to deny third party cookies and or an onLoad event can be blocked by FireFox etc.

Its just the simple php built in mail function...

mail($email, $subject, $content, "From: $from\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
