Script to access a webpage every few minutes

Hi, I am trying to increase my website's hit by writing a script which artificially accesses my webpage after every few minutes/seconds.

Any idea how can I do that?

Thanks
AJ

Heya, AJ.

Problem with doing that is that if you have a smart counter, it will recognize that the requests are coming from the same IP (the IP of the server that you're using to send the request), so at best, you'll get one extra hit from the deal.

So is it possible to block the IP address or visit anonymously?

Heya, AJ.

If the spammers could figure that one out, then we'd never be able to ban them!

Every request sent over HTTP has to be sent with a 'return-address' IP so that the server knows where to send the response.

The best you could do would be to route your request through one of several anonymous proxies, but that would net you maybe 8 extra hits, and anonymous proxies don't like bots.
