John C. Dvorak wrote about what every black hatter has been envying on last couple of weeks.
About this! This link tells you that Google has just indexed, on the last 24h, 77,000 spam .cn pages. Yes, you read it right, 77 thousand. Check it against dot info or dot edu and you’ll notice the difference.
One think to retain is that Matt Cutts himself has posted an update where he says:
“this spam was a little different than the typical brute force attacks that people have tried before (.be, .info, etc.) and that we were looking at making some infrastructure changes to better tackle any .cn issues we saw.” In other words: we’re getting now-where, in removing .cn spam.
Lesson to learn here: even though .cn domains can cost you only a couple of pennies, they are just TOO HOT to touch right now as Google may very well decide, on a last desperate move, to depreciate all .cn domains.

Here’s a list of excelent keywords of available domains in the tld .bz. It’s from Belize, but some people use it as a shortcut to business. How about Lesbians.bz?

NameDrive has a new feature, where you can add a custom sales link URL to ALL your parked domains at once!
The new feature can be found on the user options page. Login —> My Account —> User Options
If you scroll down, you will see it in the Parking options. - Custom For Sale Link URL and
- Custom For Sale Link Text
The idea is to direct any sales enquiries to a specific page you have set up, like http://www.mydomains.com.
You can, however, use a more complex url like http://www.mydomains.com/specificdomain.com. In order to do this, you will use the variable [domain_name] in the link. The link format will be http://www.mydomains.com/[domain_name], or http://www.yoursite.com/domainsforsale.php?domain=[domain_name].
Next you will put in place a nice PHP script with information on each domain and sales price. Now, let the review process go, ND will visit your page and you’ll get the approval of the url!
Now this is where things start to get interesting because you can now, make “some” changes on your side.
First, add a nice .htaccess RewriteRule, to change
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/([0-9]+)\.html /domainforsale.php?domain=$1
Next change the domainsforsale.php into something like this:
$domain = $_GET['domain'];
$keyword = explode on "." and get part 1
$content = scrapwikipedia ($keyword);
(...)
add adsense script
You should now have a custom content and adsense page based on the keyword of your domain. Oh, and if you care to you can still keep the “this domain is for sale for ####” on the bottom of the page, just to avoid breaking ND TOS, but that doesn’t really matters, does it?
Also, on the “Custom For Sale Link Text” be sure the anchor text on the link is good for pass the review process and to your black hat intentions. Something like “More information” would work, but you can get more creative; keep in mind you can’t change this afterwards.

Unless you have been living under a stone, you’ve already heard about ShoeMoney’s BlogRush.
To keep things short, I also believe it will fail: when John Chow is getting a 0.3 Click Rate now, imagine when all blogers start developing ad blindness to that clumsy box.
Besides that it is also not getting much karma due to the fact that it is clearly a benefit the rich and powerful tool.
We can, however, turn it into a great Black Hat tool to promote your nearly bought mfa domain.
Here’s how to do it:
Faking referals
One thing that immediately called my attention was the fact you were giving credits to your referrals, as far as the 10th generation. So, why not be greedy and keep these credits for yourself? Yes, it is possible. Just register 10 accounts and refer yourself from each one each time, from the first one till the 10th one.
Faking traffic
Now we need traffic. Just run this code for a couple of minutes and watch the magic happen:
Notice how I use random OS and USERAGENT codes. Also, forget proxies, this code is using TOR!
Note: You will need Tor, Privoxy and PHP with CURL. In case you have only PHP use fileopen and a list of proxies, or no proxy at all. It will work fine, lol.
Note2:Also remove the * on “curl_ex*ec”. I can’t write c u r l _ e x e c in here or I’ll get a 503 from my host company watchdog mod_security script! :S
Faking posts
Finally, we need clicks! That’s easy; you just have to fake your post titles. Here’s how to do it: just fake an RSS channel.
http://www.site.com
Your description en-us
http://www.site.com/your_real_link
Save the above as www.yoursite.com/site.rss and direct BlogRush there.
Acknowledgments: Thanks go to Blackhat’s Diary for easing my task (I didn’t had to sniff http requests to find the url and parameters to pass) and also for John Chow for the idea of a custom rss, although he made it the whitish way and didn’t cloaked the urls.
Update: Blackhat’s Diary dude, what a bad temper you got! I got only the URL from your code and, besides that, my agent/os random function is 10000 times better than yours. Also, 99% of people out there have CURL and NO file_get_contents.

I don’t usualy post other peoples posts, but fantomas posted an excelent one about Black Hat SEOs and Registars, including the question: “What Can Black Hat SEOs Do if Google Actually Gobbles up GoDaddy?” Three tips:
Hide-your-tracks strategy #1: Even when opting for GoDaddy’s Whois privacy service, make sure the account you’re doing it from isn’t in your own name.
Hide-your-tracks strategy #2: Register your account under a corporate identity (or several). Go offshore, if viable.
Hide-your-tracks strategy #3: Become a registrar yourself!
Last but not least, ever heard about Leasing a Registrar Program?
Read it all @ fantomaster’s blog.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve already heard the new trend on the 2.0 web are tumblelog or microblogs.
As wikipedia puts it: A tumblelog is a variation of a blog, that favors short-form, mixed-media posts over the longer editorial posts frequently associated with blogging. Common post formats found on tumblelogs include links, photos, quotes, dialogues, and video. Unlike blogs, this format is frequently used to share the author’s creations, discoveries, or experiences without providing a commentary.
There’s also an open-source solution called GelatoCMS. But what has this to do with domains hacking, you may ask?
The wordpress.com equivalent of this new trend is tumblr.com and what I discovered is that, just like blogger, tumblr subdomains are IDN compatible!
What this means is that you get almost ALL those top keywords as IDNKeyWord.tumblr.com and YOU KNOW this is useful right?
Remember, you read it here first. I hate those MakeMoneyOnline blogs where they have the absolute opposite idea of what a great tech blog should be: instead of “I found this great stuff, let me blog about it”, they wake up in the morning and think: “damn, what will write about today? Let me sneak around to see if I find something to copy-cat”

Short selling is a very well know term among stock market traders. You sell a stock before you even bought it. Then price drops; you buy it, and profit the gap (hopefully).
Could it be possible to do this with domains? No, but you can do a very similar trick in case you park your domain on SEDO.
In fact, you can have a real nice portfolio of (free) still unregistered domains parked at SEDO and ready to be sold, despite the fact that they are not yours!!!
If you have 50.000 domains on this you’re very likely to receive at least a proposal a day, depending on the quality, of course.
Then, after receiving the proposal, quickly rush and register it at once, and carry on with the negotiations.
Either accept the first offer (which I recommend, since many buyers give up on a counter offer) or put it on auction, which guarantees you the first bid, at least.
So, how can you do this? It’s very easy, you’re just exploiting the weakness of SEDO ownership checking algorithm, on frequency, method and targets.
Here’s how you can have your ghost domains for sell:
DELETIONS: Register using a registrar that accepts deletions, like DynaDot. After registering your domains, park them at SEDO, wait 4 days and delete them (domain kitting), receiving your money back. This way you will succeed on SEDO test as the owner of the domains. The only drawback is that your money will be kept on the registrar and not send back to you.
ATYPICAL TLDS: Use uncommon tlds from remote countries. This is one of the most successful way of doing this, since you will get a lot of top keywords that catch a lot of attention from buyers browsing SEDO site. In order to be sure SEDO can’t verify ownership on those tlds, check each tlds whois system. If you can’t easily use it, neither can SEDO. Just be sure you can register every domains you ghost park when you get a bid for them.
DROPS: If you have some you pretend to drop, register them on SEDO just before they drop. This is the cleanest way to play this game. Just park them on SEDO and never delete them. Pretend you just forgot to remove them after you have dropped them.
Last, but not least, you would not be doing anything illegal, since you’re not selling someone else property. You’re like selling the idea of the domain, like pickydomains.com.
