Confused

Could you post the headers from this email? That might be helpful to see where it is coming from. If you don't know how to find the headers is a link that explains it.

This is a link to Hip Booster which I found after googling it:

http://www.hitsboosterpro.com/

I read on a couple other non-Eater forums that some in the software field feel this is "snake oil" so to speak.

This is part of their come on:

HitsBoosterPro is a free manual traffic exchange, where you receive hits to your sites in return for visiting other members' sites.

It's a very simple system. All you have to do is sign up and start surfing by clicking the link in the members area. You need to spend at least 6 seconds on each site to receive credits, and every 10 credits you earn are worth one visitor to your site. You receive 500 free credits just for signing up, and surfing the 25 sites needed to fully activate your account. You can also earn extra credits by referring other members.

From what I read it is basically spyware.

Who wants to increase their website hits when those hits are specifically unqualified/uninterested parties at best?!
