Tarpit

Alias: how to use the resource of the scraper bots for your own needs.

The structure

To start: place an invisible link into the body of your site which points to the tarpit's initial entry point. The tarpit consists of a markov babbler generated body which throttles for exactly 4.999 seconds and loads very damn slow. At the end of the site, there are 5 links which may seem like other pages for bots, but it actually is the same site as the index page of the tarpit (speaking internally).

The outcome

Greedy bots will be forever trapped on your tarpit and will consume bogus data. Be aware that a lot of bots will actually be resource intensive for you however, there is a great thing about hoarding these bots. Think of it like magnet shroom from PVZ2 with plant boost. Bots will be trapped because of the forever internal redirects UNTIL you change the links to an unsuspecting site. This can effectively work as a distributed DDOS system where you use other's resources but you don't have constant authority over them. Was tested with 30000 constant bots and with 6000000 bots overall.
