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.

most whitehat seo’s dont even get the fact that they’re spamming the web. they use bought or stolen databases and generate “catalogues” or “directories” from it. i mean thats more evil then just scraping and setting up shit because you rip the people with “real” content… and they still believe they’re whitehats.
ha. ha.

Couldn’t agree more, Tobias.
The bunch that I like to call “tighty whities” think they know some things, and think that anyone who does something they think is bad is automagically a spammer.
They get all up tight and point fingers while claiming they are lily white and squeaky clean. Disgusting.
This particular post was inspired by a post on another blog. The owner of the blog is an experienced SEO and knows the how and why of BH. He was pretty upset when the spammer scraped his shit and then bragged about it.
Needless to say, the scraper got bagged and outed.
