Think I’ll have to e-mail Manni and ask for his code. Doubt I’ll do exactly that, but just having the code would be fun.

And Joe, for javascript, just have a look at a spam site. Enough code for a lot of shenanigans right there…

The only search requests I get for that post are for the text the spammer used. I do get a lot of visits from people clicking through from spam as well. But I can’t remember any legitimate visits to that post apart from my regular visitors and bloggers.

I was just thinking about this. I could probably accomplish the same thing with javascript on my blog, before I was thinking server side stuff. You should see the nasty stuff Manni does to caught spammers when they return to our wiki. I accidently got caught by it once, it was quite effective. It opens browser windows as fast as it can and loudly plays “I am looking at gay porn” over and over.

While thinking about it I also realized it should have some check for word spam. I often get search referrers for stuff like “casino on line spam”, you wouldn’t want to redirect legitimate readers.

I too would love to see the faces of the illegal porn searchers when they land at the FBI site. That would be a Kodak moment.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I managed to do just that. First a javascript pop-up (which doesn’t work in WP unless I do that iframe hack) and then a redirect to fbi.gov after 30 seconds…

Wish I could see the faces of the porn searchers. I guess, FBI might check out my blog if they notice the referrer, but I guess the post explains things satisfactorily enough for my end to be covered, at least.

One thing you could do when you get a hit from a search for beastiality is pop up a nasty note or redirect to the FBI homepage for a nice scare. I know its illegal in at least several states in the US. I suspect there are similar laws in other countries.

Because I purposely post spammy stuff on my blog I get a lot of nasty stuff like that. Being on blogspot I don’t have the control to setup something like that myself.
