Blackhat SEO – Esrun

I’ve been sitting on this one for awhile and decided it’s time to share it with the world. If you need a lot of unique IPs to make GET requests (quite often suitable for rigging online polls) without having to resort to slow spam marked proxies, this is a great method.

Esruns Rank Checker is a fast light-weight keyword rank checker. It allows you to quickly see where your site ranks in Google, for a list of keywords.

Update: Torrific ceased operations (scroll to bottom for full update).
Let me start by explaining what Torrific is, for those who aren’t familiar with the service. Usually you’d use a bittorrent client like Transmission or uTorrent to download torrents.

I’ve been pretty busy with client work lately and haven’t had much time to blog about seo stuff. I’ve got some interesting things on the go related to clickjacking and XSS for seo purposes, they should make for some interesting posts in the future.

For now, I’m spending what little free time I have playing with my Arduino (a clone, Gizduino).

I made my first project outside of the examples, which is of course pretty basic. It uses a photoresistor to sense when someone walks by and turns on an LED for 2 seconds.
