What's up y'all? Hopefully one of the gurus available can help me with this specific situation.
I'm trying to boost the traffic that one of my websites has been getting, so I started buying some pop-unders, but they don't send the traffic directly to the destination website, they go through three different javascript and php redirections before arriving at the destination.
So the traffic behavior is:
Visitor go to publisher dot com -> loads popunder from adnetwork dot com -> redirection1 dot com -> redirection2 dot com -> redirection3 dot com -> my website.
SimilarWeb is now showing that the Top Publishers of my website are random Taiwan URLs and some other crypto-mining related URLs. And I would like very much to avoid having these shown on SimilarWeb and equivalent.
By adding three redirections I thought I was going to be able to show one of these URLs as the publisher, but it looks like SimilarWeb is able to tell that 90% of my traffic comes from a pop-under adnetwork and that it comes from random, very bizarre websites. I'm using google analytics friendly parameters (utm) which record correctly on analytics, but when checking the SimilarWeb it tells a different story.
Is there any way known to men to obfuscate this data? I think it would be something related to cloaking the referrer, but I'm unsure about how to make it work specifically for showing as Publisher on SimilarWeb (and if SW does it, so can other platforms).
