How to do referrer spam

[sscaz]

Anyone got any good guide on doing referrer spam?

 

[Bugfisch]

I guess, this is not really worth a guide, since it's basicly just one attribute in request call...
This should do the job...

requests.get(url, headers={'referer': yourSpamReferer})

What do you mean referrer spam? I mean in which way it can be profitable?

There have been myth about google using analytics data for page authority - if a referal from another site is in the analytics this might be a sign of organic traffic from this site - and therefore activity...
IDK, have never seen it proven, but didn't try it. And I don't think, google is actually using analytics data for the serps directly. Perhaps passivly to train it's models, but not directly.

isn't it risky for them to calculate ranks based on refferals?

Yeah that's why I don't think this would work

Yeah, forgot about this. Some are just spamming your logs to place ads. I guess, you will have to spam a lot of sites, though - it's doable, it's cheap to buy large lists of domains, let's say 9mio .de domains (idk how much coms are out there ) are doable with a pretty simple script in hours from a cheap VPS, I guess.. These are basicly just pings, you don't even need to wait on a response.
Don't know about the conversion though and it's a bit unethical.

Yup, you're absolutely right... it's easy to get a list of sites (and cheap) and then you just ping those sites (with a simple script), multiple times if necessary.
I think we all get referral spam.

Want to do affiliate marketing though haha, how to make that script? Would even pay some small cash to set it up or something

requests.get(url, headers={'referer': yourSpamReferer})

so wait i can do this in ubuntu 20 ssh commands? And in "yourspamreferer" i can just put path to an .txt file with all the domains? or how

Alrady seen it but how to use that script, like i mean do i just put it into public_Html of my website that i host on vps or what? Not knowledgeable about running such scripts

It's not too hard - this should be a working very basic - and slow - method. Can be pimped with just requesting the head (idk if it will still be shown in analytics, though), multithreading or async, lower timeouts and stuff like that. But might be enough for testing around.

import requests

domains = ["dom1.com","dom2.com","dom3.com"]
yourSpamReferer = "This is the the blabla ref text you want to spam"
for dom in domains:
    r = requests.get("https://"+dom, headers={'referer': yourSpamReferer, timeout=1})

I think it's better to ask the OP of that thread as he has experience.

Anyone got any good guide on doing referrer spam?

One of the original batch of functions in Scrapebox was using the ping function for referrer spam. Here's a really old video from @loopline

You can also use GSA to do it, look at the 'referrer' engines in 'where to submit'.

 

[LostSkull]

was good in 2005 LOL

 

[Beklink]

You need to test first if the click is being registered by Analytics, check out the thread already shared here in comments and check every page

So you used bitly to redirect to your desired url then referrer spammed that bit.ly link? What were your results with sb/gsa?
