To stay low, play it soft and slow
The glory days of MFA sites are long gone. You know, the days when you could register 100 dot info’s and make 10, 000 subdomain sites each with 10,000 keyword pages, and get them indexed and producing adcents pennies.
The engines (especially Google) have refined their algos to the point that if you could get that many pages crawled, they wouldn’t last two days.
On top of that crapola G has seen fit to completely disable your adsense account for no apparent reason.
Now I’m not saying MFA’s are dead. They still have a place in a well rounded business plan. Black hat business, that is. If you still have an adsense account you should be making a bit of cash. It’s just somewhat more difficult to grow exponentially any more.
Many/most of the big-time bh guys have gone to affiliate marketing instead of adsense. There are several reasons for the move. More money is probably the biggest one.
So, the question was asked a while back. I think it was Nick, but not sure, who asked “how do you get a fresh site indexed without tripping all the filters?”.
Here’s my suggested method.
- Do not use dot info domains.
- Do use com, org, us, biz, etc.
- Build the site. If you intend to use redirects, don’t do it yet.
- Find some free blogs. Register a bunch of them. The type you chose isn’t as important as whether they have an auto pinger. WordPress is my favorite because of all the wonderful plugins that are available.
- Make you some blog content. Here is where you can get creative. Try the markov plugin for YACG 2. Matter of fact you could use the entire YACG app to make the posts automagically. Or, if KaptainKrayola has released his K5 content generation program, that would work well too.
- Make a couple of posts to your blogs. Don’t put up any links yet. Just some posts that contain your main and two or three related keywords per post. The more content per post, the better. If you can do between 500 and 1k words per post you’ll be in great shape.
- After two or three days of posting content to the blogs, put your target site in the blogroll. No links in the content of your posts. Just the blogroll. On each blog, use different anchor text pointing to your target. Remember that about half of your links should be to the index page. The other half should be pointed to interior pages of your target site.
- Continue posting to the blogs. Use different combinations of keywords/phrases in the content. All should be relevant to your target, of course.
- If you have about ten blogs, posted content daily to each, at the end of ten days or so you should have some nice positions for some of the phrases.
- Expand your blog network. Work them the same way as the others. Use auto posting software to help free up your time.
- When you have about thirty blogs working, it’s time to expand your target horizons. If you have other sites that share similar keywords/phrases, add them to the blog roll now.
- Rinse and repeat as necessary.
To stay low you must not call undue attention to your site. That means: if you are promoting affiliate stuff, you should concentrate on the ultra long keyphrases. The tightie whitie aff marketers will nark you in a heartbeat if you try to go for their keywords.
The beauty of the system I outlined above is that you don’t have to rely on someone else’s site for backlinks. That means no more pissed off webmasters out after your head. It also means that you control the anchor text and title for all of your links. That’s golden.
Stay low by playing your blackhat tune soft and slow. Softly by having your own backlink control. Slowly by posting content instead of links.
Try it out the next time. I think you’ll love it as much as I do.

Hey Dink -
and found that it would take about 2 weeks to get the sites indexed. Also, how important is the IP info of the domains that you have found? I was hosting all of my blogs on the same shared (stupid, I know) and would assume that if all the links to a particular site were coming from the same IP, there might be some type of flag there.
What you have outlined above is sound advice for those willing to put in some effort. I assume that the only promotion that the free blogs get is B&P, correct? How quickly do these sites usually get indexed? I was running a few autoblogs of my own a few months back (prolly when I was grilling you about indexing tips

One more question…Have you used the wordpress.com subdomain freebies at all with this method (or any of the other hosted blogging services)?

Hey Nick. I thought it was you who asked about this stuff.
>>I assume that the only promotion that the free blogs get is B&P, correct?< <
That's all you need to get the target site crawled. The auto pinger built into WordPress will bring the spiders running. If you want the free blog to pass some link juice, you'll need to point some good links at the blog.
>>How quickly do these sites usually get indexed?< <
If you are talking about the blogs, usually within 48 hours in G. If you're talking about the target sites, anywhere from 24 hrs to a week.
>>Also, how important is the IP info of the domains that you have found?< <
The IP is always a footprint. However, I believe that it is only a minor problem. If you have a lot of other 'flags' going against you, then it becomes more serious.
>>Have you used the wordpress.com subdomain freebies at all with this method (or any of the other hosted blogging services)?<<
No haven’t use the wp.com for this. I have used WPmU. And my own sites with wp installed. Don’t know why it wouldn’t work with the wp platform tho.
Nick, and you others too shy to post, pay attention to the ping services you use. It’s important.

Alright that sounds reasonable.
Damn…I just recently gave up the Bh stuff to focus on a few Whiter ventures…this shit may pull me back in, haha.

Hi dink, nice post
I would like to ask question,
Should we also interlink our *spam*blog in blog farm and put the link in the blog roll?
And since it would be automated, where do you think best to get the content?
Scrape it from article site, or rss search it, or other idea?
Should i markov it or leave it at is since it was only created for backlinks.
Sorry if the question kinda newbie, since i’m gonna code the automation my self,
so i think better ask first.
Thanks dinks,
I’ve subscribed to your rss blog, and i’m gonna read your other blog post now

Welcome nekokumisan! Dozo Yoroshku.
**Listen up you US and UK spammers. If you think the Russian spammers give you fits, just wait until you see what my Japanese friends can do**
nekokumi there are many ways to do what you want done. If you are only wanting backlinks for indexing purposes it doesn’t matter much where or when you place your links. As long as the search engine can find them they will follow along with the spider.
If you want a little more staying power (longer lasting spam), then I would suggest that the links only be placed in the blog roll area. And, some decent content in the blog posts is suggested.
I would not interlink the blogs. It is much easier for the spam hunters to find you if you have given them a clear trail to follow. No need to make it easy for them.
As far as the content goes….well, there is good content, ok content, and crappy content.
The fast and dirty way is to scrape an article directory for articles related to your target site. Just post it as it is written and put up your links. I would call this ok content.
Crappy content would be the rss feeds scraped from who knows where. You don’t have much control over this type content and you’ll very likely be providing links for some other spammer. It is alright, just not to my liking.
Good content is that which you have written yourself. Or perhaps, re-written to be different enough to pass the duplicate content filters (if you believe they exist).
‘Good enough content’ is that which will stay in the good graces of the search engine and is fast enough to allow creation of multiple blogs in a hurry.
You should try some of each type of content to see what will work for your chosen niche.
If you have more questions, just ask away. We are blessed with some very good blackhats that read and comment on this blog. If I don’t know the answers, someone will pop in and tell us about it.
Once again, welcome.

(according to my server logs, nekokumi spent one hour, seventeen minutes reading this blog before he posted. How about that? )

Hehe, thanks for the japanese words.
What a reply there. I can’t expect more than that
Now it’s clear.
Thanks dink.
