How to do the Google Analytics referral spam?

Hi guys,

Can someone tell me the method to do the Google analytics referral spam?

This is the spam where your website appear as the referral into peoples Google analytics statistics.

Use a command line tool like wget or curl, set a modified referrer, set a valid user agent, put it into a script, let it read the urls from a txt file, build a loop around it.

Hopefully, no one will, as this is the most useless garbage spam I've ever seen. It can easily be filtered out by using filters in GA to get rid of shit like that. Aside from screwing up the end-user stats, you achieve NOTHING!

I have to agree in this.

Use the filters that help you’ll find it in analytics

I always wondered what the GA spammers hoped to achieve - the return on effort must be piss poor.
