Automated Img Hosting Scam

[xolker]

I've been a member of an img hosting site which pays per view for quite some time and I have had a very positive experience with them actually paying out. You get paid each time someone views an img you have uploaded based on the location of their ip. What I'm wondering is if there is some program which could be used to automate the process of switching proxies and then loading one of the img urls. If it was completely automated I'm thinking it could be rather rewarding.

.0026$ per unique US ip per 24 hours. I already get 40-60$ a month from just uploading shit, but I have a massive list of US proxies and figured if I could make this automated I could make a couple hundred or more each month doing nothing.

Is there any sort of clickthru gateway. or just a simple pageview and you get paid? If so, 100o pageviews should pay you about $2.60. There's lots of traffic sellers out there hawking cheap traffic around $1/1000 views. if you can find a seller that sells traffic that tracks as legit views, it'd be a simple matter of put the money in, take more money out. I have a feeling there's more to the system they have for tracking views though.

There is a click through that says "continue to your image", but it's always at the exact same spot, so an auto clicker would bypass that with no problem. The only pop ups are livejasmin and my popup blocker blocks those fine and I still get paid for it. Also, those sites that sell cheap traffic usually have traffic coming from third world countries and shit, imgchili only pays .10 per 1k views from like africa and shit, I need USA ips hence my USA proxies. I've already tested doing it manually and it works just fine, it's just slow as hell.

If you're going to do this for an extended period of time with a large proxy list, you're also going to want to change user agents. Sure as hell they've got a check in place for that. You can get US/CA/UK clicks for around $1/1k if you look around, but if there's a gateway, cheap bought traffic won't work anyways.

require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'

def viewImg(imgUrl, proxy_addr = nil, proxy_port = nil)
        a = Mechanize.new() do |agent|
                agent.open_timeout = 3
                agent.read_timeout = 3
                agent.user_agent_alias = ['Windows IE 6', 'Windows IE 7', 'Windows Mozilla', 'Linux Firefox'].sample
                agent.follow_meta_refresh = true
        end


        begin 
                if proxy_addr != nil
                        a.set_proxy(proxy_addr, proxy_port)
                end

                a.get(imgUrl) do |page|
                        pp page
                end
        end
end


viewImg('goatse.exe.png', '127.0.0.1', '8080')

Ruby needs mechanize, error checking, and other improvements but works.
