Computer running 24/7 in exchange for 3,000visits/day to a Blog

    Hi guys,

    I have this program I wrote using PHP. I need someone who can just have it running in a web browser 24/7. That means you basically open up the webpage in Firefox or whatever and leave it 24/7. It should be somewhat of a fast computer with a good broadband connection. Preferably 900mhz P3 or higher, and 250kbps downstream or higher for bandwidth.

    In exchange you will get approximately 3000+ uniques a day. No spam, no nothing like that. It has to do with blog pinging. Also you have to have an updated blog preferable once a day.

    Cron? I don't get it.

    It will be a simple webpage that will be refreshing several times for separate ping requests, basically its a blog pinger. I maintain dozens of blogs on dozens of topics and I need them pinged in order to get the traffic. This program I wrote in PHP automates the process for my dozens of blogs, I can add your blog too to the system if you run the webpage in the browser and you keep an updated blog, you must update once a day.

    I'm up for it. Just tell me how to set it all up.
    I work from 7am to 8 or 9pm.
    then I am home on the PC for like 8pm-midnight
    The rest of the time I can do this for you.
    I have sony vaio / 1024mb ram
    pci graphics / 3.2Ghz water cooled so it should be plenty fast.
    But are the 3k visitors real people or just other people doing what youre doing?

    I would like to have all the users directed to http://textmessage.cc/tool.php
    Its a tool that allows people to send text messages from their blogs or websites.
    If interested let me know. I will be home at like 8 or 9 tonight to reply. Thanks

    -Barry

    That site will probably not work. Since the program is a blog pinger, I preferably need a blog.

    Don't go for it...this is obviously a scam. I've seen these sites on the net advertising "just leave your computer on and you'll make money!". Just another rip off.

    Very funny, do you not know what a blog pinger is? So stupid. Your getting mixed up with an "autosurfing" variant.

    Hi. I will do it but I want to look at the code first. It will be running a virtual server within a DMZ. IS this a problem?

    I'm not sharing the code, do you think this is open source, took me days to write.
