Bite my shiny metal ass.

Posted in Spammy Content on February 22nd, 2006

And a big goodbye to all the West Africian and FSU scammers who keep creating fake accounts on our websites. Your days of trying to rip off naive, lonely and desperate westerners has come to a close - thanks to the magic of geolocation.

And don’t think you can get away with using open proxies - you may think you’re invisible but ‘weeee caaan seeeee youuuuu‘.

Stopping scrapers.

Posted in Groovers on February 17th, 2006

One of my favorite blogs at the moment is IncrediBILL’s Random Rants. IncrediBILL is documenting his personal crusade against scrapers and other nasties. It makes for both informative and very funny reading.

For those who are feeling adventurous there is a great Blocking Badly Behaved Bots forum on Webmaster World and a sample php script .

brrreeeport ?

Posted in Groovers on February 17th, 2006

I’m not sure if it really counts as SEO or spam but it is pretty cool anyway. Basically Robert Scoble of Scobleizer fame is asking bloggers to post the word brrreeeport. The purpose of this seemingly strange request is to get bloggers automatically listed in Technorati’s search results for the keyword brrreeeport . This has some interesting implications. Firstly “” is currently the top searched keyword in Technorati. Secondly, it allows SEO’ s and others to track the propagation of the word through search engines which may provide information of their ranking algorithms.

Of course what’s the use of a new internet meme if it doesn’t have a website and in this instance there is no exception. Someone has already registered brrreeeport.com and pointed it to their “brrreeeport” blog.

Who needs to go searching for examples of bad SEO when, if you wait for them, they’ll come straight to you. Congratulations to the genius who thought spamming dating site profiles would be a great way to promote their site.

The links manager at Omni Business Solutions in Utah doesn’t seem to give a flying toss about directory submission policies. Which is why we are banning them from our directories.

Here is their most recent example of submitting unrelated links to themed directory sites.

You have got to be joking..!

Posted in Directory Submission on February 8th, 2006

Some ‘jerk off’ tried to send me this thing today. Do people still believe this crap? Interesting to see the use of the capital i’s as a replacement for L’s . An attempt to bypass spam filters perhaps? Didn’t work..! Anyway it is the duty of all web site owners to not use the services of dicks like these.

Submitting your website in search engines may increase your online sales dramatically.
lf you invested time and money into your website, you simpIy MUST submit your website
online otherwise it wiII be invisibIe virtuaIIy, which means efforts spent in vain .lf you want
people to know about your website and boost your revenues, the only way to do that is to
make your site visibIe in places where people search for information ,i.e. submit your website
in multipIe search enqines.

Submit your website online and watch visitors stream to your e-business.

Best regards,
