First use of the BOL?
 

I think we may have our first candidate for the brick of love...seems some punkass bitch was hitbotting us...

I'll announce the name and the site as soon as we have all our proof in order....

believe me folks, this will get ugly....

and for the hitbotter, I kow you post/lurk here....you know you're guilty and I'm coming for you!!!! I'd love nothing more than to cut your fucking heart out and drink the last remaining drops of blood as I sodomize your fucking corpse....nah, I'll just let my lawyer handle it and you'll beg for the bloodletting....

DON'T FUCK WITH ME!

Lensman, you'll be interested in this too, as I had links to you that got hit by this as well, so you may as well cancel the clicks, I'll provide you with more details...

this was a clever hitbot, it spidered nicely and even clicked on some of my exit console links....

Sykk

You know my ICQ

Fill me in!


pleeez?

:glugglug :glugglug :glugglug :glugglug :glugglug

whats a hitbot?

dayummm.... the BOL is not to be crossed... they fucked up bigtime

SykkBoy2, hey you really do need to fill us in on this. This person could be hurting some of our sites as well. If you have the proof, then PLEASE let us all know who, what, when, how etc....
Thanks

askmomma,
I will for sure...I just wanted to be 100% sure...I don't want to fuck up and be wrong, but we're sure now and I'll have the proof posted shortly...I'll also cross referencing other url's this individual owns....

I obviously can't explain our whole method for determination, but I'll give the proof that will show it was a hitbot...

this is going to be a fun ride boys......hold on to your hats :)

Wow this sounds like this is going to be fun:)...I can't wait to see the info...Let the lynching begin:)

I am holding on to my hat for a while now, can I let go for a few more hours or might I loose it then? When does the freefall start?

Daymmmmn Ya mean someone out their has fucked up worse then ME!!!!!!! :ak47: the bastard hehe IM stoked now bring it own :)

...and the loser is....
promo (his GFY handle) from erosway.com, xhostess.com and erospics.com (still looking for more domains)

let me give some backstory first :)

my good friend Dawgy bought some 404 traffic from someone and was unsure of being able to convert it, so I told him, I'd take the traffic, make sure he made some profit on the deal and I could make a little profit myself...so, I just had him forward the traffic to me...I in turn was reselling it to some of my clients and added a link to AP and a few other programs (within the terms of the textlink program of course ;))

well, I was sending some traffic to fetishbucks and noticed a strange url in my referral stats...I askd dawgy if the guy he was buying from owned that domain, and he did...I also noticed the same exact referring url on each one of the 4 sites I had on my main landing page...

just one hit to each site, but from the same exact url, now this had passed through dawgy's meta refresh and our mainpage, through our affiliate link to fetishbucks...so insted of the page we were sending the traffic from (where all the other referrals came from (which raised the red flag on this one url), this one appeared...so I asked a private client we were sending to to check his referral logs for this lone url and wouldn't you know it...one single click from the same url....

http://babes.erosway.com/thumbs/118/index2_03.html

I also had fucked up my onclick code for the exit console on that page and hadn't discovered it for a few hours...so the exit console should have loaded almost as many times as the main page...it didn't...in fact, it was "loaded" about 50%...here is a console that during that time should have been popping upon exit and clicking of a link, but wasn't....so I became suspicious (the fact there were zero signups was a small clue, but I figured, hey, got a really bad patch of traffic...) so the next day, I had dawgy change the url he was sending to....

well, saturday, no traffic from this guy (the agreedupon amount was 25K per day) so today, the traffic starts again and wouldn't you know it...the exit consoles (same consoles as the previous day) got roughly the same amount of exits and clicks on the exit console links...

plus, two hidden links...and what do you know? 40 clicks to the hidden links...and they had the same referring url as each other and the same IP address...

03.31.02 -- 14:42 -- http://www.SecretHiddenURL1.com -- 202.220.191.95 -- http://asian2.xhostess.com/pikachu/asp1/indexa36.htm
03.31.02 -- 14:52 -- http://www.SecretHiddenURL2.com -- 202.220.191.95 -- http://asian2.xhostess.com/pikachu/asp1/indexa36.htm


so promo, you better give dawgy his money back and stop ripping people off...I'm going to be all over your ass!!!!

lensman, ctc is showing 208 clicks for our account and imagine most of them are from the hitbot...so may as well disallow them all (this was the only page I had your link on at the time)

seems hitbots can deepcrawl these days...but they still can't sign up to a program....they can even click on exit consoles...also funny this guy was adament about us not popping our second console as a blur but was fine with it as an exit...not that it mattered...he was selling to dawgy per click, dawgy was selling to us per click...we swapped it a bit and blurred the second console behind the first....

so beware! I don't care if there were 24,999 surfer hits and 1 hiotbot hit, that'd be one too many...

and people wonder why I've delayed my fucking click program for so longe....and you wonder why sposnors shave?? shit like this...
what if I had to babysit 500 fucking webmasters and comb individual links for this fucking shit...this is why I like private deals and I give each guy I'm buying from a unique page to send the traffic.....


this cocksucker isn't even worthy of a brick to the face....

I'm contacting my attorney (though not much he can do as Dawgy bought the original traffic from this punkass bitch) but I will advise Dawgy to explore his legal options....

un-fucking-believeable. i bought a large pile of 404 from this guy about 7 months ago. totally worthless traffic as far as signups go, so it was only a one time thing.

thanks for the post SykkBoy

Holy shit ya rock bro sorry to hear a dick head like that is out there. but I know they are 1000's of them just waiting to fuck people. FUCK HIM :321GFY Hope him and his company * if this is 100% true* go under All I can say I maybe retarded at some things and may say things wrong at times BUT I WOULD NEVER knowingly fuck over someone. Man as easy as it would be to fuck over people I couldn't live like that. I have built galleriers for webmasters built avs sites custom graphics etc.... and If what I build dont do shit and they show me they sent tons of traffic to it I will either refund their money or rebuild their shit. <shrugs> thats just me. Hope you didn't really get screwed out of allot of money bro. Peace and thanks for letting us all know about this cum guzzling gutter slut
TOM

wow sykk wrote a novel.

i might also add that upon viewing my server logs and stats, i see absolutely no referring urls from this guy's freehost. if i was buying 404 traffic from a freehost, and actually getting traffic from a freehost... seems like there'd be some referring urls... but i cant find em...

friday i showed about 20k raw to the page he was sending on my server, sunday was about 19k raw. this was a simple php page that just redirected the traffic to sykk's url.

:2 cents:

no problem..I was going to post earlier, but I wanted to be 100% before tossing around such serious allegations (I'm not a tech person, so waited for my partner, who is the tech guy, to confirm)

Excellent work SykkBoy - you saved me some money!

:thumbsup

hahahahah ;)

not sure this fucker deserves a brick to the face...

anyone want to place bets on when I'll see a bunch of extra "hits" to my server??? ;))))

Nice catch, however...

I think that is BS, I never cheated but you make it sound like we have to to keep up.
I don't think shaving is the solution to this, it just drives honest webmasters away which leaves the shavers with cheaters.

Everyone who cheats deserves a brick to the face. :) It's one of the few things in life that doesn't change.

Man...thats just a shitty thing to do. dudes like this need more than a BOL...and fuck the legal system too.
:BangBang:

well, I understand that, but shaving would seem to be this:
if you own a store, you have to price your products to include profit, cost of breakage/spoilage and a certain amount of theft...

while I'm not saying all sponsors shave (that's like saying all webmasters cheat) it makes it an argument for it....I'm not defending the practice of shaving...I think shaving and cheating hurt all of us long term....

this is sometimes why private deals are so tough....I offer a rate and the sellersays "but so and so if paying me x" well, yeah, but they are paying you X for a second page clickthrough or possibly "losing" clicks...for private deals I do a lot of first page counts....I'm a fair guy....I know a certain amount of clicks will be lost...browsers crash, odd things, server hiccups, etc.

it's a tough business...and eve tougher to play straight....

no, I meant I wouldn't want to waste a perfectly good brick ;)))

wonder if [Labret] will loan me his screwdriver ;))


anyone else that has info on this guy/company, plese add it here...

HAHAHA

Sykk,

Good think my dad is a bricklayer :) I've got all the server stuff from out side if we need it, locked up nice and safe. glad we added that new little bit of code b4 he sent the rest of that traffic to confirm shit 100%!

yup, well, like I said, I wanted to be 100% before posting about it......

amazing, the number of ICQ's I'm getting about this cockroach.......

bump :)

you did a bump? you'' be up all night now

itchhhhhy

Can you imagine all the people who did not CATCH ON... Dawgy I wan't to see you get your money back man..If I can help in any way let me know.. I'm here..I'm sure sky can handle it properly.

yeah, I feel cheap ;)

just wanted people to be aware ;)))

I was going to start a new topic : Cheating, Hitbotting Fuckbag, but thought I didn't want to catch flack for spreading this topic over multiple threads...(although I will post after this guy every time he posts on GFY to warn others)

Congratulations dude, good job finding this fuck! We should start a gallery GFY of the month....like lot's of places have employee of the month. You'll be entitled to wear a button all month and have your picture hanging in the store.....

We should have this too for every guy who contributes to our
business....my vote goes to you as our First GFY member of the month!! :thumbsup

DynaMite

jeez,i thought you caught my friend sasush! thanks god he is safe :)

good catch! I cant recall the promo's posts but his domains are familiar to me.

This thread is full of shit!

SykkBoy2,
Send your email and address of your lawyer at [email protected]
Also send me email of your "tech guy"... or "tech gay"?
The dirty games of stupid idiots are not necessary to us.

Promo, your hitbot is still hitting our hidden links....

SykkBoy2,
email at [email protected] your tech details.
I want to understand this strange problem.

Wasn't that guy "erospics" trying to sell his 404's a few weeks ago?

Ya gotta love when Cheaters ask you to explain to them how you caught them.....lol

ElvisManson,
We are not cheaters! Stop your shit!

Promo,

What country are you from?

I've never heard of a cheater that admitted to it either.

Probably from Ontario :)

they're in Switzerland

Promo, I've been in this business over 5 years now and everyone who knows me I don't accuse people of anything without proof, that's why I waited an extra day to give you guys the benefit of the doubt before I went public with it...

how do you explain 40 hits a piece to two hidden links???
how do you explain this single url appearing in ALL of the referrals of our sponsors? and amazing the hidden url clicks have the same IP address and referring url

the song and dance you give webmasters who question your low conversions is "this traffic is meant for TGP's and free things, not pay sites" well of course, a TGP webmaster would have more problems catching your hitbot and would likely not notice this single url popping up in their referal stats muchless those of the galleries they've sent traffic to (of which your hitbot would have deep crawled and hit).


and amazing all your traffic to Dawgy shows NO referrals, yet these referrals mysteriously pop up in the referral stats of our sponsors...


Jesus, people wonder why 12clicks and the other brokers don't respond to hitbotters and cheaters...I can only imagine if I had to deal with shit 10-12-15 times a day..........

>I waited an extra day to give you guys the benefit of the doubt before I went public with it...
I did not see this thread earlier.

>how do you explain 40 hits a piece to two hidden links???
this IP (202.220.191.95 ) from www.oct-net.ne.jp network.
Probably it SE Spider, Data Management Bot, Offline Browsing Tool, etc. The additional info is necessary for me. You can send more detailed info from your log files?

SE spider is impossible, the page was only a couple hours old with those hidden links added, they weren't there the first day...

my partner is offline, when he gets back I'll have him go further into detail.....

this was a single page with two exits set up specifically for dawgy's traffic (and only from your site)....nothing else was linking to it...I always set up completely different landing pages for each private deal I make, because each deal is different....

bump :feels-hot

damn,
if this is true they deserve to be hanged by the balls and sodomised by ron jeremy
:feels-hot

whatever became of this scumbag

every use the brick?

the brick of love is a damn nice idea

you know they are a cheater when they bring up lawyers on their first reply

go get that fucker :ak47:

my lawyer never heard a thing......

secondly, I just chalked it up to live, learn and remember....like I would ever fully disclose how we catch hitbotters? that would simply allow a hitbotter a way to modify their methods....
