Stay low to stay longer
Chapter 3 of the Maltese Blackhat has been posted.
Alright young spammers. Listen up. Don’t be scraping content from those SEO gurus. And, for the love of everything right and holy, don’t post it on your blog.
All SEO’s are spammers too. Many of them have hats that are blacker than midnight. Some of them could code the skin off of a bronze statue in three minutes flat. A few of them are hackers and crackers like you could only imagine. Some are straight arrow whitehat types.
Can you tell the difference when you read their SEO site? I didn’t think so.
So tell me, how in the hell you can tell your scraper to leave the bad guys alone and only scrape the straight arrow types?
These straight arrow types could be more powerful than you imagine.
If you want to stay in this business, then you should put some constraints on your scraping and spamming operations. Keep a low profile, don’t piss off the paying customers, and leave the SEO scraping to someone else.
’nuff said.
