@ianfontinell-0 said in naked advertisement spam in torrents:
@spiffyweasel-0 it's definitely not endorsed but on the same not it's not against the rules so, in a sense you're right, everyone can create their own site and advertise it in torrent descriptions.
if you have enough free time and money i suggest you try it so that we will know for real how effective this approach is, but i suspect that it's not great.
another thing is, it'd be hard to check metrics to see who is visiting your links coming from GT because the site removes referers from the URLs, it will look like the person has typed the URL manually instead of clicking an ad.
right, which is why i suspect this is not just some affiliate (since the referer stripping would prevent click tracking as you said) but the actual owner of that site who earns money by running ads on the site itself.
