Blackhat SEO - Increase Your Traffic with the Referer Bomb!
You can increase the traffic to your site using the refcontrol plugin for the Firefox browser.
This not a new method by any means, but it is often over looked.
As nickycakes writes:
“When you visit a website, several pieces of information are usually recorded by that site. Your IP, Browser, and Referer address are a few of them. The Referer address is the address of the page you just came from. Most webmasters, from time to time, check their Referer log to see where their traffic is coming from. When they see traffic coming from a website they haven’t heard of, they go to check it out to see why this website linked to them.”
I just about quoted his whole post 
because his way of explaining it is simple and to the point.
One warning though, there are some sites that check the refer before allowing you to login, post, etc. If you use services like Yahoo email, for example, you might have trouble, so go ahead and do the referer dropping thing, but then, remember to turn it off.
For me, the nickycakes post was a great reminder. Why not write a bot that will just surf the web day and night visiting all sorts of sites and let the curious webmaster traffic roll in.
Of course, if this method does bring traffic, it will not be targeted whatsoever, unless you are marketing to webmasters, (Muahaha!).
Anyways, this will be my project for tomorrow. I will put together a referer-bomb script for the members in my blackhat boot camp.
