Domain blacklist issue

WarBot, you are right. But immagine how you can feel seeing that you get banned after all these hours of work... I think everybody would feel bad about this.

I weighed in on that other SORBS thread. That IP blacklist is shit. As you've already seen here today, some will see you as blacklisted, others will not. Thousands of individual domain names owned by hundreds of non-related strangers can be on a single IP. Alot of people use crack in this city - that doesn't make me a crackhead.

As far as sponsor hosting goes - this is a business. Spend some money and buy some cheap hosting. It'll gain you an ounce of respect from your fellow webmasters. There are a few good uses of sponsor and free hosting, but they should never be used for anything you want to submit to link lists.

hello

I am new here actually this is my first post... I am jp18 administrator. I have a problem understanding this "we don't like sponsor host" attitude.
Sponsor hosts give resellers more time to take care of their work instead of taking care of their servers.

Can you tell me a quality sponsor who added banners or redirected traffic from galleries submitted from their free hosts?

On the other hand, please help me understand why free host == sponsor host.

I believe there is a big difference between them.

Yeah, I definately feel for you. But its not all bad, I mean youre domain isnt blacklisted, you didnt get yourself a black mark or anything. The really bad thing that could have happened is if Mr. Yum wouldnt have said anything to you and you kept on submitting and working and not getting listed anywhere because of the free hosting. Possibly even getting blacklisted at a few link lists for using it.

Now you are free to promote who you choose, you dont have to worry about the free host going anywhere a year or 2 from now (and losing a year or 2 worth of work), you dont have to worry about anything being added to the free sites, etc... You can build and submit till your hearts content.

And just for the record ARS (adult revenue service) used to have a free host. They dont anymore... Things happen, sponsors change, re-invent themselves, go out of business, laws change, etc...

Anyways, youre still in good shape. You can re-use those free site templates with a bit of new content, get your SORBS thing straightened out, get your useful script thing straightened out, start making some money

Cheers

Kate, first off...just so you know...it was not me that put you on the usefulscripts blacklist. I sent you that email as a courtesy to let you know of the problems and how to correct them

UW, yea bud and I do appreciate the input in both threads. At this point, I have no doubt that Kate is not a spammer...so obviously her domain should not be on that list.

However, I do still have very real concerns about google either now or sometime in the future using that list to determine a bad neighborhood. And I'm just not willing to risk all the hard work I've done and am doing to build se traffic. FPP is coming on strong in the serps...I intend to see that trend continue

Besides, from what I'm seeing...this does indeed appear to be ip related. Any reputable host should be more than willing to move a customer that's on a problem ip...should be an easy fix.

As to the sponsor hosting...I don't see that changing anytime soon. Sponsor hosts do in fact sometimes go away...even the BIG ones. So yea, sponsor hosts...free hosts...same thing.

Besides, hosting is CHEAP these days! I really don't mean to be rude here...but geez, nah...nevermind...just deleted that lil mini free stuff rant
