    Hello guys, if you run a topsite, look for this cheat: http://www. gazeteler .tv/topliste.html

    They will generate fake hits to move then up in the rankings., which will burn your site BW, if on shared host.

    This is what im currently using to block them accessing button.php, in <img> tags.


    $blockedRefs = array("http://www.gazeteler.tv/topliste.html");
    
    $ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
    
    foreach ($blockedRefs as $blocked) {
    if (strpos($ref, $blocked) !== false) {
    // Bounce them back to themselve
    header("Location: ".$ref);
    exit();
    }
    }
    PHP:
    Im hoping that you guys can help me, to make it more efficient for it to work better. Im using Aardvark Topsites.

    If you guys know anyways to make the script as a whole use less resources post herer!

    How can they get fake hits to move then up in the rankings if they are not a member of the topsite ?

    Well they obviously are... They are on mine, they simply sign up and use some kind of bot to access that page with your button on.

    People who run topsites, watch out!

    Well, throw them out then !?!?
    Thats why you manually should approve each new member. There are many turkish BH sites out there that love to sign up.
