Viable trend or dying traffic generator?

Doesn't work anymore, your domain will get blacklisted in no time.

ISPs are not particularly fond of this method of traffic generation...

Godaddy took our old domain adultgods.com because we sold a referrer script that had adultgods.com as the main useragent. Our own fault, but if you have another registrar you should be fine anyway.

interesting stuff :)

someone please explain to me why this is concidered such a bad thing? I'm 99% clueless on the subj at hand

Referrer log marketing

What exactly is this ?

Think very hard

I have a script for that lying around somewhere :glugglug

So do I :)

hehe...why are all the good things always taken :glugglug

Wait.. I'm confused...
Googlebot took sigmonkey's domain for referrer spamming?
i dont get it ...how can googlebot take a domain?

hehe :) yea yea I know what it is, was really hoping for someone to post more info on the subject

Google loaned us the domain on the condition that we were good boys. Then they took it back.



















Actually, it was GoDaddy, a registrar, that took our domain name, and we didn't actually referrer spam. We sold a script that referrer spammed, and due to the fact that this referrer spamming bot had "AdultGods.com" as its User-Agent header, stupid people assumed that we were the perps when Google started to fill up on references to our domain.

There's tons of battle-tested bots that do this already.

Google bot is (thankfully) DUMB:thumbsup

:D

Play safe and use whitehat referral spam.

That is where you make a links page with about 7.5 milion links on it and pay $5 Submission's people to click on each one for you daily.

Then when the site owners come looking they will see a real link and go away happy without adding you to the blacklist. They may even give you a perm link back.

















*cough* Not really, Don't try this at home :glugglug

Yep, see http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/10/27/192238/97

$5 Submissions is a FUCKING GENIUS!

So true.

As long as you can keep off here you are doing something right http://community.the-underdogs.org/s...ngry/evil2.gif

LOL, Jay Allen lists a lot of my domains :)

Ain't technology grand? :glugglug

Thanks for the laugh.


Seriously, save all your RIGHTEOUS anger for the pimps that managed to figure out how to advertise on FRIENDSTER.

Pretty clever!:2 cents:

The value is in SE rankings not so much the direct traffic.:2 cents:
