Hi, working on a spamdexing paper, as i think it could become one day a serious problem like the spam is nowadays, i've experienced a tried way to generate web traffic and trick the hit counters. As an example you can take a look at: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates/top250 If you want to help or DOWNLOAD FIREFOX just go here or add this link to your site: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=3496&t=58 What about security? The traffic generation could be used by malicious websites to obtain good rank on the search engines using other spamdexing techniques and trick users in a phishing way - or - 'simply' launch DoS attacks. If someone have interesting informations about spamdexing, help will be appreciated. Thanks, Jerome ATHIAS PS: Please note that i respect and support the Mozilla Firefox project - regards to the Mozilla Firefox community. PS2: a little test of spamdexing...
