Sick of tube sites full of stolen content? Easy fix

[DamageX]

Many thanks to AmateurFlix for posting this code in a previous thread:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape')
var language = navigator.language;
else
var language = navigator.browserLanguage;

if (language.indexOf('zh') > -1 || language.indexOf('zh-cn') > -1 || language.indexOf('zh-hk') > -1 || language.indexOf('zh-mo') > -1 || language.indexOf('zh-tw') > -1 || language.indexOf('zh-sg') > -1)
document.location.href = 'http://www.redtube.com';
</script>

I've taken the liberty of editing the code slightly.

In short, what the above code does is it redirects all your Chinese language traffic to a URL of your choice. We all know Chinese traffic is nothing but a drain on your budget, so simply put it to the best use you can think of: drain someone else's budget! And who else is better suited to have their budget drained than the tube sites who profit from content stolen from this industry. Since the profit margins for tube sites are fairly slim, if enough people do this, you'll see them high up on Alexa based on Chinese traffic only. And once they start blocking, redirecting it, I'm sure you can find enough traffic from unbillable countries on your sites to redirect it to them, as a gift.

Netscape?

[pornask]

this is wicked, dude

even though, many advertisers base their decisions about ad placement on Alexa ranking. So this will increase interest in tube sites... Or maybe I'm just blabbering senseless shit. It's too early, I just woke up.

don't think going from alexa 500 to 400 is going to change advertisers minds, they're already massively huge

Don't advertisers have an interest in turning a profit? Good luck doing that with worthless traffic.

[cherrylula]

you think sending them free traffic is going to fix something?

or did I read that wrong, its still early...

[GT-Omar]

I just posted this here, but with out the actual code

The answer is actually very simple stop by those sites every day and download like crazy. Or even better,one of you script guru's can come up with something that will download and then delete while we sleep. 2 cents chew up the bandwidth. I think thats the quickest, and hardest way to hit'em

[DamageX]

Oh, one more thing. It might be a good idea to group your efforts into targetting one site at a time. Spreading ourselves too thin ain't gonna do much.

[cherrylula]

aren't there brokers that will give you money for that traffic??? why would you give it away for free?? you guys are whack.

[Jarmusch]

I think they would catch on to it quickly and block it, and some are probably blocking china already.

Why not send that traffic to passwordbyphone or something and make some extra bucks instead?

[Fluid]

Not to mention most of the tube domains will settle up like the torrents are and start working with a sponsor supported business model instead of stealing from it.

[DamageX]

Not unless they sell it to someone else.

nice code, but I'd do it in php, because if javascripts are disabled that script does nothing.

I'm not a coder, I just copied it from someone else's post. Feel free to post an equivalent piece of code in PHP.

If Chinese traffic is really as useless as the reputation suggests, then you wouldn't make anything extra off of it. Might as well try to save some of your bandwidth and redirect it elsewhere...

[DiliBau]

that`s not the way to do it
cause javascript is browser scripting and can be easily fooled by anyone
i suggest GeoIP... www php net/manual/en/ref.geoip.php

Download from : www maxmind com

( can`t post links yet so figure it out yourself )

that's not really necessary in this case... the whole point is to use as less resources as possible and have the tube sites waste as much bandwidth as possible. By using JS you don't put an extra burden on your own server(s). (and who cares about the 0.0001% of Chinese surfers that block JS )

[cykoe6]

Nice idea

[esnem]

and what if they decided to redirect their chinese traffic back to you?

i bet you they have more ;)

[papill0n]

there is so much stolen content on that site it is not even funny

[scottybuzz]

hehe, good point.

[farkedup]

I'd gladly take ANY traffic from ANY country to ANY of my sites.... you think it actually matters? All we care about is traffic... If the chinese give us problems we'll just sell it through some bulk traffic company....

bump! good job!

Pornhub owner has posted about their bandwdith bill, it is huge. Youporns will be many $xxx,xxx/month, do you think a little script is going to even dent their usage? And if it did do you not think their techs would block it?


And to the OP, most tubes make lots of money from PPC ads, while chinese etc will pay less ppc wise it still pays and your still sending them revenue..

[gnet]

There has to be a better way to "get back at them" than to send them free traffic. No?

I believe you already do.

[iSMOKE]

how is it these tube sites make $? With video hosting being $xx,xxx.xx easily...how much profit can they really be making?

[Finike]

It's like a waterdrop in the desert ...

[Shakula]

how long does it take to write a script that blocks .cn traffic?
Ohh, 10 sec. Ok!

[esnem]

glad someone else saw the stupidity in using a language redirect script for that purpose

redirect me the cn language traffic, i'll geo-ip it and keep the US and tier 1 country guys and bounce you back the rest of the real cn traffic..

And looking at the code, it doesn't explicitly redirect traffic from China/Hong Kong/Singapore etc etc... I'f I set my browser language to Chinese i'll be redirected as well. (Installing a Chinese version of Firefox)

That stupid script has nothing to do with the origin of the traffic. They could all be sitting in the US with Chinese Language browsers.. ready to give them revenue. Anyone who installed that script is an idiot.

[Manowar]

i'm sure they'll welcome the traffic, it'll pump their alexa up and probably not download as much as a normal visitor

[Barefootsies]

[tranza]

Lol, you think that by sending them even more traffic you're going to beat them??

Lololololololololol...

[viencarl]

well thats new to huh

[brandonstills]

good tip

[Gasper]

The only sollution is if ISPs start blocking those tube sites. At least in the USA and some european countries.

I don't give a fuck if chinese or russian internet users watch it. They won't buy anything anyway.

Yeah, well that's a slippery slope and no one with any sense should ever advocate that.
