Too much hits to sponsor from a brand new domain

Your hosting stats, even if not google analytics, should give you a list of ip addresses in order from most bandwidth used to least, or most hits,something like that. I would examine those statistics to see if there is an ip address that looks like it's visiting your site disproportionately to the other ip addresses and then block that ip address at your host.

If the hits are coming from different ip addresses, then that's another thing. And of course, if you're saying (I may not understand this correctly) that the sponsor is getting hits from your site that you are not getting, you might have a problem.

Another solution is that most hosting companies have something like an activity log. Check that and see what the different ip addresses are doing at your site. If you see an ip address that is coming in and exiting very quickly and doing this a LOT, then you might have your culprit. Block that ip address.

Just some ideas on how you can research this issue.
