Seems as though they're using a Meta Refresh which should clean most the referrers for you so send your spam, traffic sell your ebooks on other forums and do it all with the trust wicked fire has.

This is actually just a educational piece on the opportunities out there. As it's in the private portions of the forum they probably put it in so they wouldn't show the source of traffic. Often you can find hi trust redirects to use to send visitors to. Imagine if when you mouse over the link for your ad it showed ibm.com vs asdlkjw.info? Think more people would click?

true this, there are plenty of google redirects too. yahoo has one that i know of

unfortunately they didn't make it easier for me to spam craigslist.

 

[smaxor]

spam craigslist, I can't believe you'd do that. That's just wrong However if you were going to do something like that go more mainstream with blogger, aol homepage, googlepages, etc. I'd setup a new location or each post or just do email responses. But again that would be wrong

 

[DruSam]

Well, the problem now for me is getting enough proxies and domains to rotate to avoid getting blocked. It used to be so easy...but alas CL finally got smart.

smax is there a way to detect a redirect on a popular domain? or is just something you kind of stumble upon?

 

[chatmasta]

you guys shouldnt be spamming

 

[DruSam]

I think I was misunderstood. What I meant was I was trying to make Craig Newmark a tasty spam sandwich, but I'm being blocked by a lack of...proxies...but spam spam who would do such a thing? Spam is wrong.

[chatmasta]
