would any of these methods fool hit bots?

[Beaver]

1) have lots of invisible links at the top of the page that your surfers cannot see but the bots will click and bugger off
2) change the name of your tgp page form say .../lotsaporn.html to .../lotsapornX.html
3) make a page called .../lotsaporn.html and then load .../lotsapornx.html into an iframe.
hopefully the bot would just hang around in the lotsaporn.html and not jump into the iframe

Just an idea I had but I have no idea how the bots work

[Backov]

Nope to all 3. Remember, bots aren't some AI wandering the web - they're stupid tools backed up by not quite as stupid little piece of shit webmasters who know how to figure out what links are the correct ones to hitbot.

I thought that the hit bot was something like a web spider and crawled the page looking for links I never realized they had to be programmed to hit certain links.

well if the bots have got to be programmed then at least they would stop working until they ere reprogrammed for a new page? if that worked then you could have a script running that kept renaming pages.

Shame really I thought the idea of renaming your main page and then loading it into an iframe was cool.

Got to go I have burgers to flip

[Stallion]

if you have a solution,, its best you don't publicly post it on the board,,,

i mean don't you think hit botters visit these boards

[XP]

Playa is absolutely right!
Thats why cheaters making impossible-to-catch hitbots... damn!

ok. i wont mention any more ideas but I'm sure i have seen plenty of other people giving advice :confused:
.
I'm having to bite my lip now too coz i thought of another neat idea to crash the little fuckers if they try to read html but i guess some of them will try to interface with system files and that would be a bit tricky.
