What is Lee Noga selling now?

IMHO such tools can save you hours of time every day as well as your merchant account. I have had similar features implemented in my revenue proggies since 1998 and basically when someone does something that's against our T&C the server emails us a warning so we can terminate the account. Credit card fraud is particularly easy to spot.

It catches about 97% of all cheaters within 24 hours and it's a lot more reliable than hiring staff to do it because more often than not the staff doesn't give a fuck if you lose your shirt.

The drawback is that such tools make you lazy and if someone is cheating in a way that your sniffer bot doesn't catch he may get away with it for a long time.

I think if Lee is going to charge webmasters for it though her spider bot should also focus on carders and hitbotters. In most cases I don't think many webmasters will be interested in paying for something unless it saves or makes them money.
