Irishwonder’s Black Hat SEO Blog A blog about blackhat, general SEO issues and other things related to the life on the web

Many people just don’t get the full grip of the B&P concept. I decided to make parallels between B&P blogs and other things that may be more familiar to most, especially with WH background.

A B&P blog used for only posting from one site can be compared to the new Google sitemaps only it’s more effective. Besides, there have been reports of BH sites getting banned after using Google sitemaps.

A B&P blog with posts from several sites, in my opinion, can be even better. It can probably be viewed as a version of a linkfarm - only much more naturally looking as most blogs link to many sites.

The article about free Black Hat hosting is now available at Syndk8. What’s funny about it is how it was written. the power went off in the house and I was writing it in a notebook (the paper one!) with a pen by the candlelight! Just think of it. It’s 2005, and it’s about Internet related stuff, and I can hardly remember how to write by hand - and yet it was written like it would have been 100 years ago if only they had Internet back then!

OK, this is a bit of a speculation, I haven’t seen anything like that in AdSense TOS. But here’s a problem.

I have seen this a countless number of times, you register for a free hosting account or a free blog account onyl to find out the provider’s AdSense on your pages (a.k.a. “forced ads”). I do realize this is their way to make a living offering those free accounts - and I might have done the same if I were to host people for free. But it’s one thing when they put ANY ads on your pages - and quite another thing when they put AdSense with their ID there. See, what AdSense TOS does say is that you can’t have more than one person’s AdSense on a page - which makes all those free hosts useless for folks making money with AdSense ads themselves. Now, I haven’t really heard of anybody getting any penalties in case they put their AdSense along with the provider’s - but then I haven’t heard of these cases much either. If you have a story to share please post in the comments.
