we are interested in creating a script/program that can simulate traffic/visitors to appear in Google Analytics as well as other web metrics software. please use this as a starting point:
http://myseotools.info/HitGeneratorPro.shtml
here are the additional requirements we need….
1. ability to define target URL to ping
2. ability to define referrer URL
3. ability to define how many pings to send to the target URL
4. ability to use proxies or for the traffic to appear from American based IP addresses
5. ability to set random delays between pings (so it looks natural)
6. pings MUST show up in google analytics with the referral url we define
7. prefer a web based script
8. would like it to be able to run on a cron once setup
9. would like to be able to setup multiple campaigns that each have different referral URLs, target URLs, and other settings saved
10. ability to have the script visit other links on the target page (to make it appear that the visitor is going to other pages on the site) – we would like to be able to tell the script to simulate a range of page visits, for example between 2-5 clicks/pages visited.
i think this is the majority of what we need, however, if the developer has some suggestions to enhance this, we are open to hearing them.
please ask any questions you may have.
thanks
