Blackhat SEO – Esrun

I was approached in late 2012 and asked about the possibility of creating a personal offline version of the Google Play Store (free apps only). This would essentially involve collecting every application from the Play Store and the related information like title, description and so on.

It’s been over 4 months since the project was completed and I’m finally able to share some details about it.

I’ve been sitting on this one for awhile and decided it’s time to share it with the world.
