September 28th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Posted in Rambling

So the other day one of our readers came across Matt Cutt’s in a dark alley (it just looks like a conference).  Fearing for his life, Matt Cutt’s had this to say about Link Spam:

Never Get Caught Being A Black Hat Again

September 28th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Rambling

I constantly get asked how to prevent being caught doing black hat by people who shouldn’t be doing it yet.  Either they don’t know enough about how things work, or are looking for an uber shortcut that will get them busted anyway.  There are some great rewards automating things, but there are also risks.

Being a good Black Hat is about minimizing those risks and being aware that many search engines are watching out for patterns, and yes  – they are looking for you!

Many webmasters also fear that Google for example no longer follows the “do no evil” mantra that they spouted.  Some fear that they have truly crossed over the line invading privacy.  The more paranoid webmasters out there I’m convinced actually suspect Google of being in their house watching them.

This if for those folks – the ones where changing ip’s isn’t enough.  I’ve created an image for you to print out and paste over your monitor.  It will keep you safe if Google REALLY is in your house watching you.

Nothing Shady At ALl!

Nothing Shady At ALl!

Just print it out and tape it to your monitor whenever you feel like your being watched!

Sometimes hiding in plain sight (site) makes sense!

March 12th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

Sometimes it’s tough making a black hat site appear white hat – but let’s face it, it can make all the difference in the world.  If your running an auto blog and you need to juice it up a bit every now and then to increase your chances of passing a manual review it’s hard to beat zemanta   (zemanta.com).  The free plugin for firefox let’s you insert pictures, grab related posts, recommends tags, etc…

Even if you aren’t a black hatter or running auto blogs it’s a dang fast way to ‘pretty up’ your pages and posts fast.
