Strange...web hit activity.

Hi all.

I just noticed that my web page hits have nearly stopped. I wouldn't be
concerned but
before the slowdown I was getting hundreds of hits a day and getting 5+ form
emails (from the site)
in my inbox.
Now this is just my opinion but I think what happened is directly related to
my cancellation of a subscription to a website listing service which, by the
way, had an awful lot of fine print not visible to the naked eye. I
originally agreed to pay them $100 to get my site listed on all the big
search engines. Fine. One month later I get a bill for another $100. There
explanation was, "your site has received a large amount of click through
traffic...we needed another payment to keep the traffic going..." Anyway,
after I got up off the floor and regained my composure, I cancelled the
account and ordered the recent $100 refunded. They agreed. Funny thing is
that since that discussion there has been little or no action on the
website, in particular no-one is filling in any of the various forms on the
site.
Has anyone come across this before? Have I been e-blacklisted? Was I being
had?

Thanks and sorry if this is not the right group for this. I will check the
lists and repost if I find a relative list.

Jim
