How To Fight Search Engine Spammers

Rorschach · 2005-03-10, 04:15 PM

Verbal I fully admit that those domains were raping Google hard, that is not the point... they had been banned from G the day before but I was disappointed the registrar took them, the residual Yahoo traffic would have been sweet.

I'd also like to point out that none of my domains have a single picture on them

no free porn, no porn shown to minors, no 2257 or obscenity hassles, over 50% voluntary filtered no BS clicks to a sponsor.

So explain to me how you aren't wasting your time? It might take your x minutes (or hours in gideon's case) to try to track down a fraction of someone's network and fill out a spam report (which is almost totally ineffectual anyway)... but it takes me 1/2 a second to push the button and then I'll take the dog for a walk while the pages are uploading, and the next day I'll be back sitting where I was.

I even have a little song I sing to myself every time I generate some more crap:

"Now's the time for you to push the button,
Now's the time for you to get that caasshhh!"

as I laugh in glee, and ruefully think back to all the time I wasted as a free site builder, when I could have been getting rich as a linux geek.

Anyway, I am just trying to provide a different perspective to the very singular view which is espoused on GG&J... trying to fight SE spam is like trying to fight the tide.

Absix, don't confuse me.

Registrars don't usually pull domains without reason. Meaning the domains must've been reported for doing something illegal. The fact that they're admittedly also full of SE spam is just more icing on the cake... but yeah, doubtful they were pulled for SE spam alone.

Rorschach, what reason did the registrar have for pulling the domains?

And Gideon, please explain what you think is illegal on these domains you found that you're trying to report everywhere.

Are they just spamming the SERPs or actually doing something illegal?
