Great stuff, I learn more here than….anywhere. The part I can’t put my finger on is how you roll in your Splog Ping Crawl plugin when you do creation spam. What are you using to automate the blog build (I know YACG, but methinks you splog with WP as well?), and is it automagically installing the plugin with your WP install?

I probably missed it, but if you don’t mind repeating I appreciate it.

One thing about Referral Spam.
If you take a quick look at robots.txt you will notice that some of them if not all use

I don’t know about for ever, but the life expectancy is definitely higher.

The creation spam is what caught my eyes, do you expect the truly clean Ecommerce site to get “caught” at some point or can it run like this for ever?

Captcha’s I’m currently still learning how to crack. I’m on my way, but just not there yet.

For the research process I have a few IP blocks that I use, and for higher end drops I utilize a lot of SOCKS5′s.

Hello,

first of all I would like to thank for your interesting blog. Althought multi-threading is easily achievable in C (I am myself using pthread_* functions), I wonder how you can bypass the two main difficulties I encounter:
- the captchas (Not related to Xrummer features)
- the research process: you and me know how its hard to have a reliable proxy network, furthermore most anonymous nodes (like Tor) are blacklisted by G.

By the way, great job.

Cheers.

A little php/curl multi-threading for your readers

http://www.developertutorials.com/blog/php/parallel-web-scraping-in-php-curl-multi-functions-375/

Not that curl will support 4k links per minute. It still might get someone started that doesn’t want to deal with c+ / python but does want to play with multi-threading.

Nice setup bofu, well done & grassy ass for sharing
