Are you following the rules?

June 10th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Rambling

I’m sure by now you realize that the rules are bendable.  But the more you learn you realize that some people (websites) don’t even need to play by them at all.

I’m talking about Google playing favorites with sites and allowing them to cloak and do other stuff that would get me or you smacked into serp oblivion.

  The Rules

XMCP did a little guest post over at search engine people that you should check out.  Pretty much agree with him 100 percent.

Black Hat Girls

May 18th, 2008 | 3 Comments | Posted in Rambling

Want to help me pick the next “Mascot” for Black Hat Digest?  Personally I love the “CENSORED” girl I have there now.  It makes me imagine that I have some censor tape and my daughter is wearing it.  (No it’s not my kid).

Anyway – just grabbed some photo’s from Istockphoto and I think I’m going to let you vote on them.

  Black Hat Girl - Chair  Black Hat Girl - Gun  Black Hat Girl - Young  Black Hat Girl - cover your ass  Black Hat Girl - cover up with hat  black hat cowboy girl

I’m probably not going to use the girls that aren’t “CLAD” properly – and I am already incorporating some of them into some other templates – but who should be our new BH Digest mascot?

Black Hat Digest – Day 16 – Cycle Sites, Splogs, Etc..

May 15th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in 30 Day Website Network

If you have done all the homework I gave you previously I’m sure you read up over on Bluehatseo all about ‘cycle sites’ (I call them Splogs)  (spam blogs in my mind).  In a nutshell you use rss feeds to populate your blog, and do nothing but scrape content.  You do this on a big scale and you dump then and redirect them later to an affiliate offer or something.

You will get a few track backs this way, some links, etc…

BUT – you will have to deal with copyright complaints, hide your self well, and EXPECT a ban from the search engines.  Sometimes you pay for your costs and time, sometimes you don’t.

I personally hate cycle sites and I’ve found some better ways of doing things…. same amount of work with different results.

I’m sure you expect something here – but I’m putting this up so you know what’s coming and to ‘motivate’ myself to finish coding this for you guys/gals.

In a nutshell you are going to enter in your blogs through a control panel, write a few sentences and help moderate other peoples sentences.  Helping out and contributing earns you points, and these points are deducted from your account when it posts to your blog.

I’m tying in affiliate programs, sitemaps, content snippets, etc…

I’m also going to make it so you don’t have to work real hard I promise.  Give me an hour a week and it should do the rest.  I’ll reward those that participate more with extra points, etc..

I don’t plan on having this be a paid tool… however you are going to have to get invited in and be able to vouch for others that you invite in.

So while I finish this programming up I don’t expect to add day 15 till I’m done or go past this point.  I never expected to be doing something like this but once as part of this project but I thought of it and how it would help so many of you set up your blog farms I just couldn’t resist.

Since I have extra goodies inside for my NSS 2 members  – - well it’s another incentive to finish up.
