Be careful what you wish for as you might just get it!

I got a few more days before I start my holiday jumping so … you remeber the old deal:

If you give me an idea, I'll give you software if I build it.

Tell me the features (don't over do it) you would need in a referer spamming software and I'll give you the real thingy for free. I just hope your CPU, RAM and bandwidth can handle my software's violence. I'll show you how I put multi in multithreaded.

Obviously Windows users only. No guarantees for Vista people!

You can use it to start some storms in your niches and bring some people to your site or just send messages to webmasters. You could even deface statistics with a smart touch of ref spam. Even if I don't really believe in this technique to drive valuable traffic I can write this pretty fast and maybe you'll use wisely and later on share those wise methods with me in a private email ;)

Well, like SEO Boot Camp said ( bompa? ), its about spreading the word about your website. I could really careless about spreading the word that my site is there. I'll let links do that work for me. With that being said, I'll have to wait and see if your experiment turns out good results. Else, I have no ideas for this method.

Hi, dont know if it exist, but it would be neat with a spider that looks for standard wordpress multi installs (without capchas and such).
So that you get a nice list of bloggsites to sign up with.
(dont know if this exist in blogfarmexplosion?)

It would be nice to have :)

Well ... during two thirds of a day got about 50 visits and 6 new subscribers… which is not that bad.
I crawled over 300.000 pages and finished hitting 15.000 distinct blogs (checked for X-Pingback header) so I guess more visits should arive within the next few days.
I have over 250.000 URLs in queue and I'll do another set today and keep you updated.

Erm thought we were talking about referrer spamming software features? Maybe I'm confused but I thought the purpose of this was to gain spider exposure where links appear on stats pages? Getting traffic from probably pissed off webmasters seems a minor concern.

Ok, how about:

- Proxy import from common formats, JSON, XML, CSV
- Preferably the ability to import or grab from a URL
- The ability to scrape for fresh targets
- This would need the ability to add in footprint queries
- Maybe success rate tracking
- So a log of whats attempted
- A check on what sticks
- Ping sucessful drops
- URL rotator (as in for the sites in reciept of your spamming)

Those any good?

From your features I would imagine you think of ref-spamming for links??? -- What sticks?
I was thinking of ref-spamming to get some visitors to your site.

Link spam for links is ... I don't know. Dead?! To few targets to matter.
Unless you got some tips and you feel like sharing them.

Nah I was just missunderstanding. I assumed that was the point of referrer spamming as I couldnt see value in just appearing in peoples stats software, especially as most of it is javascript based these days.

Or am I missing something?

Or are we talking about ping-back type stuff? (based on a comment from above)

There is no benefit as I stated in the post... or I can't see it either.
This is why I'm doing the test... read previous post.

But you can get some visits and with the right bait ... maybe one can make a couple of bucks. But just a couple.

Maybe if you could fool the javascript it would have more potential?

You could c.stuff the traffic ;x
Or is that against your "morals" ?

I'm not really a master of slang... c.stuff? Pls. detail.

I guess c.stuff = place loads of affiliate cookies on the traffik.
But that converts even worse so i dont see the point of doing that on a low trafic source..

Cookie Stuff.

Damn. I thought of anything except cookie stuffing.
Neeeh. Cookie stuffing is not a universal method. I have no idea where they would go from me and these people don't buy.
On the other hand Amazon's cookies are very short lived. Cookie stuffing them would require thousands of hits to actually make a sale.

Give me an example. What could I cookie stuff a bunch of freebies with to be worth it? And how can I anticipate where they go from here to buy stuff? Improbable.
PS: I'm writing a cookie stuffing post right now. I might have it up tomorrow. Will be cool.

What do you mean by short lived?
I was just throwing that idea out there. I really wouldn't know what to do with this kind of traffic.
#15 5ubliminal web
Posted on Sunday, 13 July, 2008
Amazon cookies last 1day = 24hours.
This is the main problem for this kind of traffic. Useless. Maybe some subscribers... but nothing else. I got some subscribers from it.
This is why I'm baffled that people take this technique seriously and I see some 'major' blackhat bloggers with many hundreds of readers bring this up like it's the Mekka of free traffic. And some even want to sell tools.

I bet you can't sell ref-spam traffic anything as they are also webmasters and they are also ad-blind and are also trying to make a buck online not to spend it!

@Genoa, yah it's me, Bompa.

@DM, yah, you're confusing the old purpose of getting links with the new purpose of just gaining visitors. As 5ub mentioned, there are too few public stats pages to bother with nowadays.

"Getting traffic from probably pissed off webmasters seems a minor concern."

Why would the webmaster be angry? He sees an entry in his stats or raw server logs for blahblba.com and he wonders how/why he got a visitor from there, so he pastes that URL into his browser and checks it out, or he just ignores it.

Sure, some people want a big return; a sale or whatever; if that's your goal, this is not for you. This type of referer spamming is just advertising your domain name. Name recognition. Branding.

So, lots of "big shots" will say it's not worth it, but what does it cost? A script runs in the background while you're out or sleeping. The only cost is your bandwidth and, if you're in USA, you have more bandwidth than you know what to do with.

I've stated the benefits. If you don't want those benefits, drop the topic.

out,
Bompa
