The Cleaning Up of Black Hat Traffic

Ok I don’t thing this is the ideal system but it works for me, getting a merchant to trust you when the site that is generating the traffic is less than white, anyway this is one method:
The traffic site: this is a spam site with back links from blogs, guestbooks etc, it’s keyword stuffed and template for Y!, Msn and Google and there are no aff links on it, it just gets SE’s Traffic.. so what do we do next, Well if we just redirect the traffic to the Merchant then someone may complain and we don’t want that, So Filter out the Search Engines , Proxies and Blog owners ( cloak it ) and leave then on that site after all we only want spending customers.
Redirect the filtered Traffic into your Clean site ;) , from here you can filter UK traffic to Uk merchants and US traffic to stateside Merchants… what the hell it’s a clean site so run adsense on it , disable back button - throw them to a feed partner on something like that , the goal is no matter what happens you either get paid of the click or get it to the best performing Merchant..

Interesting concepts.
Do you know is AdSense quality control would be ok with a scenario like this? I assume they track your referrers, correct? If so, would them visiting the site which is redirecting to you (blackhat, cloaked, etc) cause problems?
Correct me if I am wrong but AdSense doesn’t track the referer since it is JS and you would see it in the code.
Secondo, you are not responsible for any inbound link to your site (it can be any competitor trying to make you fall!) so if you put your clean site on another domain there is nothing Google can do.
BUT, be carefull with your “black” sites, I got a couple banned for cloaking (i guess).
What they don’t know won’t hurt them, surely
How would you suggest filtering out “blog owners”?
Could you assume, If your ranking well, that only traffic from search engines are the people that will actually be the paying customers? So if the traffic referral is a search engine then redirect them to the proper landing page.
hi there =)
i can’t stand spammers as much as the second guy…. but i was wondering
you know all that black traffic…. the stuff you get from blogs, guestbooks, forums etc. etc. is there anything you can do with it? i know it isn’t worth much… but it seems such a shameful waste.
i’m a bit scared to send it anywhere at the moment. would certainly increase the traffic on whois
offtopic: who are some good hosts you would recomend.
thanks in advance.
