spamhuntress blogmysite - Blogs by Webstars2K

Saturday, December 31st, 2005

That’s exactly how Maryanne Myers is presenting a blog on one of her blog networks.

spamhuntress blogmysite - Blogs by Webstars2K

Which I take exception to, because I’m associated with the name Spamhuntress, and because I would NEVER EVER have a blog on any of her sites, nor use any of her software.

It’s retaliation on her part, because I wrote about her earlier.

Notice how there are about 350 comments on the first blog post there. The comments tart to fall off the page after about 14 days. That’s her program, blogmysite, in action. The punters get backlinks lasting about 14 days.

I wouldn’t pick on her, except she’s got a new technique out, which you can see on what apperas to be my blog on her network:

myblogbomb

What she doesn’t say, is that the blogs with those ads on them are easily identified, and it would be very possible and easy to just ban anything that appears on there.

And it turns the blogs into splogs, effectively…

Suss out spam networks

Saturday, December 31st, 2005

I was running down splogs that refer to one of my other sites (nativecelebs has good serps and content, so often included on junk sites).

And I found one blog that I suspected was part of a splog network, with blogs living in various folders. But the root didn’t work, so I turned to Google.

And found this:

a2b for 70.86.36.194

It’s a list of URL’s that point (or pointed at one point in time) to one particular IP number.

And it looks like it’s part of a blocklist that susses out splogs. Have a look!

And I was absolutely right. The domain is part of a scraper splog network.

About a2b: They’ve now added nofollow to the spam URL’s, so I lost the nofollow on the links!

Oh, and the spammer behind the splogs? He’s best known as peteinoz on forums and such. He owns wpburner, catbcreator, completeadsensetoolkit and probably a few others. All splog creation, posting and pinging tool. Matt, are you there with your red crayon? These need banning. The guy talks openly about splogging. I’m debating whether or not I’ll post the URL to his forum, so you can see for yourself. Hmmm…

Actually, most of the URL’s on that blocklist should be banned. Most are probably generated with wpburner or similar.
