Eonpal?? WTF is this?
 

Does anyone know what this site is http://www.eonpal.com/ ?

They are showing up in my refferal stats, and something just seems odd to me. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/eonpal/

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but are they doing me any favors? |crazy|

I know what you mean. I've had them start to show up in my stats this last month too. Seems they have a very poorly written spider which is showing up as a referring url of their root domain. They really need to get someone to rewrite their little tool.

Same here. They show up in my domain stats but I have no idea who they are and if it's all good or not. |huh

Are they spidering, or are they hitting our sites so that we will look them up and possibly sign on as affiliates? What's that called, referral spamming or something like that?

They certainly don't give off and an aura of trustworthiness.

Eonpal crawling
 

hello,

we (eonpal) crawl sites for adult content.


more info can be found here: http://www.eonpal.com


However, If you want to be excluded from it, please send us list of domains and we'll block our crawler from going there.


or simply just block traffic coming with http referrer *.eonpal.com (this is what you referred as referral spam)

good or bad? your content might appear in search engine so I guess is good. if it's not, send us list of domains, we'll exclude them immediately.


I'll be around post to answer your questions, if any

cheers,

What do you mean by that exactly? Are you looking to list our URLs on your engine, even though your ads aren't on our pages, or are you ripping the photo content from our pages to use on your almost 2 million galleries?

If you are listing our URLs - why? Are you overriding our affiliate codes with your own?

Explain to us why we want you to crawl our sites.

It looks like they give you a fake Thumbnail TGP that links to other peoples galleries in a frame, so their ads are on top.

Bingo
They are not the first ones to pull this sh*t

If your site doesn't contain original content, you should exclude it from crawling (by sending us email or simply blocking the bot)

If you do host original content, then it is your best interest to be crawled.

I didn't understand this.



Any more questions?

EXACTLY |thumb

Ok, thanks everyone for the replies, questions, and answers. So it's prettymuch a worthless piece of shit to us? But are the refs, real or fake as UW asked? I mean... are the thumbs they are scraping (or crawling as he put it) linking back to our sites? I'm still a bit confused after ivko999's replies..

|huh

I think it's the other way around. If you host orginal content - you should block the bot. :D

Should we assume that your bot will ignore robots.txt, so we must use .htaccess to completely block you from showing our pages in your site's frames?

I think you may be correct UW. He's got it back asswards maybe? I got a chuckle out of those posts on the google groups. Apparently they are flooding mainstream and even ch*ldren sites with their traffic... |crazy|

Just what I needed to do today, edit htaccess codes, stupid fucks

Thanks UW |thumb

Since they have refused to reign in their bot and now are referral spamming childrens sites I would recommend that you just get ahold of their hosting company at Columbus Network Access Point Inc.
abuse at ee dot net is the best place to report them. Seems they are coming real close to breaking the new law passed last year with the porn referrals to childrens sites even if its just their bot doing it.
I know the issue has been brought up with google already due to the scraping but more importantly they are just a fusker site with an affiliate program - they fusker your galleries so that another webmaster can make cents for clicks

Thanks Linkster,

I wasn't sure what they were doing exactly, but now I understand. How can it be legal for them to scrape our galleries and make money on it? The nerve some people have...

Thumbnails link back to you.

Think of google images except this is specialized for adult content.

http://www.eonpal.com/

Blocking the bot won't help you because content is overly duplicated on the Internet, so you'll just miss the chance of receiving free search engine traffic.

We do exactly the same what Google images does, except we're specialized in adult content.

If user clicks the thumbnail, goes back to your site - so you make money of it.


Thanks everybody, for any further questions, send me an email (found on eonpal.com)

You dont do exactly what google images does - you hotlink content inside your frame to build your site - and so far the only traffic anyone seems to get is bot traffic
Here's an example of how this site works - with one of Danger Daves galleries hotlinked amd framed:
http://www.eonsex.com/details.php?br...9FBE32351CDD92
It shows up on a search for greenguy since the words are on that gallery - note that I dont ever remember google putting ads for their own affiliate links at the top of an image page like you do - and then running an affiliate program to provide more traffic to your pages takes the final step to being a scam artist

OMFG! that is an oooold! gallery :)

.. and as always Linkster is right.... These fucks are just lowlife leeches.

Don't support them!
htaccess/framebust your Galls!

They will be gone soon enuff... :D

Hi DD. Not to sound like a total newbie but I've got some galleries floating around that these jerks are also linking to. What exactly do I need to add to my htaccess files to block them or bust out of their frames?

...and supported by our friends at AVN Ads..

Now you can pay AVN for your own traffic back... fuckers!
