Here is a simple way to hide your real traffic source and show your CPA a fake referrer. I am going to assume you already know how to implement double meta refresh to blank your traffic source, if not please see http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackha...redirects.html

Ok you know how to make your referrer blank which is great but some (or most) CPA's want to know how you get your traffic, if you don't your aff manager might give you some shit if you bring in serious money. Plus I hate to have to SLOW DOWN on how much I milk an offer just bc I get traffic from a source they don't like.

A very simple way of faking your referrer is to set up a selective page redirect using simple javascript on a genuine landing page. Here is the code:

HTML Code:

<script language=Javascript>
var ref;
ref=document.referrer;

if (ref.replace("YOUR_REFERRER.com","") != ref)
{
window.location.href='http://www.Genuinely .com';
}
//=====Code By: metalcolin=====
if (ref.replace("YOUR_REFERRER_2.com","") != ref)
{
window.location.href='http://YOUR_CPA_OFFER.com';
}
//===== metalcolin ======
if (ref.replace("http://YOUR_REFERRER_3.com","") != ref)
{
window.location.href='http://www.YOUR_CPA_OFFER.com';
}
//=====
</script>

This is how you do it, you set up your basic double meta to point to your landing page and configure your javascript to redirect the traffic coming from your 2nd redirects ONLY (important). For example, in the 'YOUR_REFERRER.com' you put in the FULL url of your 2nd meta refresh which will only redirect the traffic that comes from that source and it will leave the referrer as your landing page for your CPA network to see (which is what you want).

When someone from the CPA Network comes to check out your landing page they will NOT be redirected and everything looks perfectly legit

Some reputation points or thanks would be appreciated....

BTW, what are the rep points good for anyway? .. Serious question, im new here so i don't know.

Hi, when you say landing page do you mean from Google PPC -> landing page? Can you use it for that?

I just realized I forgot something. You will need to have double meta refresh and two redirects. Sounds like a Lot but it will do the deal 100%.

HTML Code:

<script language=Javascript>
var ref;
ref=document.referrer;

if (ref.replace("","") != ref)
{
window.location.href='http://YOUR_LANDING_PAGE.com';
}
//=====Code By: metalcolin=====
if (ref.replace("","") != ref)
{
window.location.href='';
}
//===== metalcolin ======
if (ref.replace("","") != ref)
{
window.location.href='';
}
//=====
</script>

Basically you would put this one in your 3rd page pointing to the selective redirect (landing page) since the double meta wont leave a referrer. I'll post a more detailed outline to drive the point home. Let me know if this helps.

Yes exactly. Something you would make for a PPC or even a real ppc page that you already use for that iffer, if you do.

This reminds me of something I saw over at the Slightly Shady SEO blog.

Alright, here is the fixed version.

You will have 4 PAGES all together which will perform redirects. Pages 1 and 2 will do the initial redirecting to clear the referrer. Page 3 is an intermediary to create a referrer from one of your whitehat domains and finally Page 4 will pass the referrer on to your CPA Network AND it will act as a front for how legitimate your practices are in the case someone visits it without going throug the redirects.

This is how it all will look,

PAGE 1:

Code:

<?php

        echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;url=http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/PAGE2.php\">";

?>

PAGE 2:

Code:

<?php

    $referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

    if($referer == "")

    {

        echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;url=http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/PAGE3.htm\">";    

    }

?>

PAGE 3:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location = "http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/PAGE4.htm"
//-->
</script>

PAGE 4:

Code:

<script language=Javascript>
var ref;
ref=document.referrer;

if (ref.replace("lokuloku.org/re1.htm","") != ref)
{
window.location.href='http://www.google.com';
}
//=====Code By: metalcolin=====
if (ref.replace("YOUR_REFERRER_2.com","") != ref)
{
window.location.href='http://YOUR_CPA_OFFER.com';
}
//===== metalcolin ======
if (ref.replace("http://YOUR_REFERRER_3.com","") != ref)
{
window.location.href='http://www.YOUR_CPA_OFFER.com';
}
//=====
</script>

You can see the working version here: lokulo*ku*0rg/URL1.php

The final landing page is lokulo*ku*0rg/re2.htm if you go to this url without going to URL1.php you will see the landing page.

Sorry for the confusion, again could someone tell me what the reputation points count towards?

If this works, you could make thousands with it. People are selling all kinds of BS, and if it works, some "guru" will implement this in his "extremelly power" script with few BS add ons, and sell it here for 500-1000 $, and act as a king of blackhat coding later

Yea that's always been my problem. I never monetize on anything, I guess i don't much see the great value in it since i've been using it for a while(not so much lately though). Wanna sell it for me? We'll split it 50/50 lol

its easy, you just have to say at least twice a day that you are the best, the most handsome, and have more brilliant brain on the earth. If you add a talk about someone else as an amateur, thats better.

Than sales will come, and people will love you because they have sent few hundreds to your way. Remember, that's a privilege They will run behind you, from thread to thread expressing their loyalty, and confirming how big and unique you are

On that point you just need a crown

Erase the referrer and create a new one? Can you point me to it? That would save me loads of time.

Nvermind, I missed the link in your post, disregard the last post.

Also, what if the user has decided to disable Javascript?

I tried using these two php redirects and they redirect fine except the final site gives me a 405 method post error. I tried pointing to my domains and even to ggoggle, same thing. I'm not sure if I'm missing something...

FXdomains, but the error it comes from the final page (my cpa offer) which isn't hosted by me. I also tried pointing it to ggoogle.

I'll try it with another host if the issue is with my host. Either way, don't worry about it I'll try to figure it out, I'm assuming if you got it to work then it just might be the host, might even just need to chmod or... something.

Well that's what I thought too, but for some reason every once in a while it happens to leak the referrer (don't ask me how or why). I mean you could technically use just the two or even to play it semi-safe 3, but i dont want to post it and then get people banned from their networks. This way I know the ref won't get passed, but anyone is free to modify as they wish.

Hi,

This is just what I was wanting to learn how to do...BUT:

I used the lokulolu links to test the demo as it was set up on your domain.

And I found:

Firefox 2.0.0.17 - click on ur1.php - end up on g00gle.c0m - check LIve Http headers - G00gle.c0m sees re2.htm as referrer - Happy!

Opera 9.52 - click on url1.php ---> get redirected to url2.php - does not move beyond that - and, of course, url2.php is blank, so the person using Opera never ends up on afflink

Chrome - exactly the same as Opera

IE 7.0 - click on url1.php --> end up on re2.htm (landing page), so, once again, user never reaches the afflink (update: had IE 7.0 set to allow Sun Java - changed it to also allow Java VM - still reaches re2.htm)

Not too sure if my testing is wonky - but would be particularly worried about IE7 users not reaching my afflink - Opera and Chrome don't yet really seem to have a large enough percentage of internet users for it to bother me - but would be fantastic to have a solution for ALL browsers.

Any thoughts? Some error in the code that could maybe be fixed? Or could the error be on the demo pages on lokulolu?

Thanks in advance anyway for what looks like a good method!

JohnsonDaniel,

I haven't tested metalcolin's method (what you're referring to). I can say that Genjutsu's method (he linked to it earlier in this thread) seems to work perfectly for me. I tested it in IE6, IE7, FireFox 3.0.3, and Safari 3.1 (those are all I have installed). I would recommend you try Genjutsu's method for doing this.

I will give it a try cause it looks really interesting. Thanks in advance

this is nice, can i have multiple sites get refreshed to having no source? I want to do this with multiple sites.. is there any way to make this easier?

You can also use sessions to pass yourself hidden variables and do referrer checking with php so the code is not so visible (like with javascript).

I second that. Genjutsu's method is totally brilliant!

So this one isn't perfect then?
I'll pay someone to set this up for me.

clocking is the best way to create traffic and huge money in very quick time pure black hatter only know all the advance tactics to use it carefully and very effectively cheers

It seems a very good technique, but can I used this on blogspot ?? Thanks in advance

I tried this on wordpress, but half my blog loads before it is redirected to the affiliate link. In IE the last redirect doesn't work. My 3rd file is linked to the affiliate for the time being.

Was intersted in faking my referrers, which method is the correct way to do so?

genjustu's or the original poster?

Go with either really, but Genjustu's code saves them from sitting through 2 more redirects. Less load time = fewer clicks leaving from boredom.

Am I missing something here, I have been using Gen's method with the 2 redirects, and I've even tried forcing a form post with Body onLoad, but all they seem to do is blank out the referrer (which is good) even better would be to be able to have the referrer as my whitehat site. Is there any method that actually replaces the referrer instead of just erasing it? I'm trying to get this done without javascript because that is too easy for any AM to turn off to see whats going on.

Interesting and fascinating thread

smart bh's gettin paid on this here

Why would you need sessions for such a task?

All you need is $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

Hi, thks, your thread had helped me alot

Don;t know if it's better but I found this PHP version on a forum: http://cashcowhq.com/showthread.php/...aces?p=6#post6

I've used proxy sites to trick some sites, not sure if it works for all site though.

This is an excellent tutorial on referrers. Thank you.

smart

Thanks

it's useful thank you

on what browsers it doesnt work at the moment guys?
