Hey coders! I want to mess with someone

Hmmm... it seems I'm not checking for the referrer correctly or something. I took that chunk and put it on a different site that I control, then sent someone to it from a link on another site. Nothing returned.

This seems like such a simple thing. Y so tuff?
 


This might be off-topic or unimportant, but as far as taking the guy's traffic goes, how much do you guys think you should take in a situation like this and how quickly? If you suddenly took half of his traffic, I think he would notice and you would get cut out more quickly.

What if you started off taking only a small amount and incrementally increased that over time? For example, in the first week you could take two or three percent of the traffic, and add a couple of percent each week until you got to something like 25-30 percent. Do you think something like this would be the most profitable option long-term, or is it overkill?

Add

Code: 
t202Init();

to the end of Matt's code and it should work!

(It's there in the original code, I don't know if this'll work)
 
Share the code inside his HTML file that references your site. I can't tell from your posts exactly what he has so I can't tell you what to do to redirect.
 
Meh. Figured out why nothing's working.

He copied the static code that was output when he ripped the site, and hosted a version of it. So, the only thing I'm getting is reporting. It's sending click counts, but that's all.

Fuck

Yep, looks that way. I wish the dick would just remove the tracking pixels. It's fucking annoying me.

You could edit whatever is polling / posting to block it. I know nothing about prosper, but if he is including your code you can stop it; if he is posting data to your prosper install you can also stop it by filtering it out w/ php or an htaccess.
 
could you show us exactly the html code of what he has on his site?
you can blank out the domains, and eventually we can find a way to achieve your goals or something similar.
 
Get his IP(country) and make that, let's say, every 3th people who is coming from a country which isn't that ripper's one, get redirected to your site. You will be making some sales while he isn't aware of fact for some time(depends how dumb he is).

Basically, you will get ~33% of his sales as he uses your created page. :)

Same thing happened to me, couldn't do the redirect because of the way he ripped it. Just filter his shit out.

Some people are so dumb, I have made $1000s from redirecting part of idiots traffic over the years (with a few dickrolls thrown in).

So it's just an image pixel? Look at the HTML code on his site again. Does the image pixel have "width=1px height=1px" as attributes? If so, not much you can do.

I guess if you can get an e-mail for him, you could be a good samaritan, and drop him a quick e-mail everytime someone visits his site. Chance you'd get your server's IP blacklisted though, so maybe not a good idea.

Or you could replace the image pixel that he gets with a massive 800MB image, which *might* be enough to crash people's browsers, rendering his site useless.
 
Code: 
<script language="JavaScript">
var spin = Math.floor( Math.random() [B]* 3 [/B]);
if(spin==2) {
for (var i = 0; i < document.links.length; i++) document.links[i].href = 'http://www.mydomain.com/redirect.php?' + document.links[i].href
}
</script>

should work, replaces all links on page 33% of the time

change up the 3 in * 3 (bold) if you wanna decrease/increase %s, if you put 2 links will be replaced 50% of the time, 4 = 25% etc.


edit; nvm didnt read thread
 
If he ripped your page, so you would know, did you have vulnerabilities to your php variables or inputs?

Sometimes I throw up landing pages for holidays and such and don't bother to safeguard them since they are only up a week - a month. Never got hacked. But you could fill his server up with junk files or change settings and all sorts of fun shit if you didn't bother to protect anything.
 
When it sends the click counts, does your tracking server send a response (like AJAX)? And if so, does your ripped code read the response? I don't know anything about P202, but if you have some control of the P202 code, you could have some fun there by getting creative with the response.
 
Sadly no. Basically, once the code for the landing page is created it just send a message to the tracker saying "Hey, this site tracked a visitor". Nothing is sent back.

So when he ripped the site, it just copied the completed pixel and keeps telling me someone visited that site.

Since there's nothing I can to fuck with him, I just blocked the referrer in .htaccess so I don't have to keep watching clicks to that page coming in.
