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

I think we all get referral spam.

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.
Python:
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})- Apr 4, 2014

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

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
