I have a unique link to a website (similar to an affiliate link) and there is a competition to see who can bring the most visitors through their link. Since there is no money on the line, the website is not checking to see if any of the traffic is real or not, so I don't need proxies or anything crazy. What bot can I use to get such a couple million hits to my link in one day? All my searching brings up these expensive ad clicking bots that cost money, I need something super basic. Thanks.
If you have Apache installed on your computer or have access to a server with it (it's on my computer my default because I run OS X), you could run a command like this: ab -n 1000000 -c 20 -s 5 http://yourlinkurl.com Code (markup): That will load the page (or link in your case) 1,000,000 times, running 20 requests at the same time with a max time to wait of 5 seconds.
