Traffic stealing scripts? (7)

Traffic stealing scripts?

I have been searching for scripts that redirect a % of the traffic from a ripped lp, found people mentioning it but no actual scripts on how it works. No luck so far, using CPVlab and wondering how to make use of a script like that, I could have benefited from it a few times by now

Only found this so far http://www.foucist.com/marketing/how...de-on-the-page, but didn't find it useful.

And someone mentioned "Leave an empty js file linked from ur site( full path), and once u see u have been ripped, just had a window.location", not sure if that would work.

Affkit tools has one of those

Would it be worth the hassle though?
I can't imagine people just ripping stuff without having a look at the code, maybe if they are beginners.

Would love to get some stats if you pull it off though

I don't know this guy and have not tried the solution myself but you could have a look at this: http://ppcmode.com/warden/

This one is mean

It puts the following stuff in the jquery.min.js file and that's actually creative, because no one will look there.

Code:

    var w = window.top.location;
    if (w.host !== 'example.com' && Math.floor(Math.random() * 101) < 10) {
        w.href = 'http://www.example.com/lp.html';
    }

Explanation for non coding people:
It gets the location of the top window and checks if the host is not the same as listed (in this case 'example.com') + if a randomly selected number is smaller than ten (Math.floor(Math.random() * 101) < 10). If both conditions are fulfilled the user gets redirected to the listed landing page (in this case 'http://www.example.com/lp.html'). So if someone else hosts your LP, then 10% of his visits will get redirected to your LP.

Anyway.. this approach has flaws. First you will notice the redirect multiple times while editing the page locally and second since the URLs aren't obfuscated it will be pretty easy to find. But I bet it will drive some people crazy that they won't use your LP

Hi guys, what if I use multiple domains and I'd like to use this script? I could generate the Jquery JS dynamically using PHP but I don't really want to do that...

But I have to say I really like the idea.
