LOL, never knew about autoit until now :O… Keep up the excellent work!
Possible to elaborate on it? What is autoit and what does it do combined with the other things?
figure it out. it’s not that complicated.
Just wanted to add, for anyone wanting to do it with a Mac. RefControl + Automator + Automator Virtual Input = $$$$$$
Clever – just took a peek at autoit – and see quite a few possibilities there.
smart! But I think some bots or spiders with fake referer would do the same. After you posted your refcontrol post a few days ago, I was searching the web for something like this. I found a old progy called “StarProse Referrer Advertising” but couldn’t find a download
So if anyone have it, pls post it here. Thx!
Ok, now I got it what the idea behind is, quite simple actually. But you would need to autostumble thousands of pages daily in order to have enough curious webmasters checking you out plus to make money from it.
What would be the best idea to monetize upon this?
If someone would like to share or sell a finished and working proggie to autostumble whole day in a Firefox tab let me know: mikegg [at] gmx [dot] de
Great tips! Any chance you would share your autoit code to help make this work Nickycakes?
honestly, I don’t get it, I’m missing something lol
Finally downloaded AutoIt on my PC. Been using my Mac a lot. Anyways, after about 10 minutes of googling and reading up on the syntax I wrote a quick 6 line mouseclick loop script that will click stumble how ever many times I designate it to. You could easily write a script that will loop until a keystroke is pressed and it would probably take less than 10 lines of code. Then you could just flip it on overnight and referrer bomb away, then wake up in the morning and shut it off.
Rock, would you be willing to share that? I can’t wrap my head around any type of coding even after reading 3 different tutorials supposedly for noobs lol.
Wes, I’m in the same boat. I do understand the concept and nickycakes is pretty clever, but us non programmers will have a harder time to automate it.
The basic idea is to make a ton of sites owners think you are visiting them from your site…as if you had a link or post about it. Many of those site owners may be curious when they look at their referral stats and wonder why your site sent them “traffic” (which is just you, controlling the referral URL). So because your site will show up in their stats you will likely get a lot of traffic from those curious site owners. if you target your stumble niche then it will be targeted traffic. Adding autoit to the loop does the same thing but automated the actual stumble surfing so you just set it and let it visit a few thousand sites, dropping your referral url all along, over night or something. The added bonus is some of the sites will also list their referrals onsite which links back to you.
intersting lol, thanks none. [for lack of better SN to refer to you bylol]
Yes It will be great, If some one can share the proggie with noobs like me.
wtf proggie are you talking about dude
I’m not sure what proggie SEO videos is asking for but what I was asking for was your code/script for the autoit. I’ve been trying but can’t figure out how to get it to do anything, let alone do my stumbling for me lol.
Maybe you should come to my IRC channel (click the Cakes Chat link at the top for more info) and someone can help you out if you ask nice =)
Can Rock or anyone else elaborate on how to do this with a Mac?
“Just wanted to add, for anyone wanting to do it with a Mac. RefControl + Automator + Automator Virtual Input = $$$$$$”
I’m trying to get it to work but haven’t been able to pull it off yet. Also, do I need to buy Automator Virtual Input in order for it to work properly?
Cool idea! I run mac but got run windows on a virtual machine with Parallels. I wrote a sweet little autoit script I’ll be running daily for a trial run.
Any idea if Stumbleupon will cut me off for abusing its service?
Also, when should I start seeing traffic benefits?
Update: banned by Stumbleupon after a few days of following this strategy.
Maybe adding various stumeble users and iterating through a list of proxys.
But one thing I don’t understand: the idea is to stumble their sites or my site?
using prstorm is much easier
“Maybe adding various stumeble users and iterating through a list of proxys.

Missed the boat completely there pal. lol
There is one problem with RefControl, I discovered yesterday: If a website is using Google Maps, you get an error message from Google that has to be close by clicking the OK button.
If you write such a script you have to reckon with this.
Add TOR to this and you have a winner.
I am trying out PRStorm instead. When doing referrer spoofing why not use a social media link like your video at YouTube.com or Metacafe that links back to your keep your own link out of the spam mix. Also use a Wireless Cafe to Reffer Spoof and not your own ISP.
I’ve got a little tip for the clicks, instead of ‘autoit’ use the following:

Works wonders!
Now I’ve helped you out do anyone have any suggestions on good products to have as your refferal?
Thanks
The stumbleupon part can be interchanged with a little effort in building a list of niche-specific sites, or having a list constantly built and cued for u or whatever.
But what should be done differently is that you visit the same sites over and over again, switching your proxies so that the webmasters are more compelled to check out your site. Getting 400 visits from one site is more likely to draw attention then just 1 visit.
So basically maintain a list. Forget Stumbleupon.
The best way would be to create a db of urls, dates, and scrapes.
Start out with 10 urls
Create a cron job that loads a php script. All it does is spider out grabbing webpages and searching for links on those pages. This can be done with a curl or pears http_request. You have to load the whole page for it to show up in all stats…
Once you have a bunch of urls, throttle down and just hit all of those urls with a cron job. Once you spam the hell out of them for a while, ditch them and get new urls.
What would make this even better is if you hooked this up to a proxy script also. That way webmasters would see many ip’s with that referrer and not just one.
Now all your visitors to YOUR REFERER PAGE are targeted!… They are all webmasters! Sell them servers, webhosting, etc, etc. I am going to do this with eroticmugshots.com. I am going to make an affiliates landing page that pushes making cash for adult friend finder, fling and others…. when they click on those and signup, I get a % of everything they make.
I also found a great way to do this without the StumbleUpon toolbar.
1. Get Firefox!
2. Get a StumbleUpon.com account. They don’t verify email, so just register with anything: stumbleupon.com
3. Install the iMacros Firefox extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3863
4. Install the RefControl extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/953
5. In Firefox, click Tools -> RefControl Options
6. Where it says “Default for sites not listed” click Edit, and add your URL:
7. Test your referer by visiting http://scriptamp.com/ref.php
8. In Firefox, click View -> Sidebar -> iOpus iMacros
9. Create a new macro, and use the following script:
Code:
VERSION BUILD=6240709 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
URL GOTO=javascript:if(location.href.indexOf(“stumbleupon.com/s/”)<0){window.location=”http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/”}
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:linkStumble
WAIT SECONDS=1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:linkThumb
WAIT SECONDS=1
12. In iMacros set “Max:” to a high number (how many pages you want to stumple), like 3000 or 10000.
13. Click Play(Loop)
14. Profit!
