How To Easily Fake The Referrer When Using Double Meta Refresh

metalcolin · #1 (**permalink**) 10-04-2008, 03:07 AM

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

you do realize that this can all be accomplished with 2 redirects? I posted the code quite some time ago.

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