Blackhat SEO – Esrun

Okay so you may have noticed that my site was down today… I recently moved the website to the hosts known as nearlyfreespeech.net and to get to the point, their servers are rubbish! They were slow at the best of times and it they were brought down by a DDoS aimed at my website.
After waiting many hours for them to even take action their “support” replied with this:

Hello,

Good news! We have identified the problem.

Bad news! It is a massive DDoS attack leveled directly at your site.

If you were less of an asshole, we might have been able to work with you to find some special arrangement to help keep your site online. However, in this case, no such arrangement will be possible, and even if they were, there is likely nothing we could do to keep your site up in the face of an attack of this scale. So, if I were you, I would look forward to a lot of downtime for the foreseeable future.

Thanks,
Jeff
As you can see, not very professional. All I can say is that you should definately avoid ‘nearlyfreespeech‘ because it may as well be some teenager with a 486 server on a dialup line.

As for the DDoS, no one has emailed me to claim “victory”(against a terrible host!) so i’m not quite sure whats going on there… but oh well. I’m prepared to throw as much money at the site as needed to keep it up!

I presume its because of my comments on Spamhaus being fined $11.7m which was quoted by news.com.

Also on a side note, I’d appreciate it if Ann(spamhuntress) kept her little puppy journalist away from me.

In this third video from Esrun, onlinehoster.com we have added a template system to our Ask.com scraper site.

Watch the video on the Ask.com template system video page and leave comments here!

Okay well the first video seems to have gone down quite well so I have created a second video. My intention is to provide a range of tutorials which result in a fully working system by the end of it.

The new video talks you through the scraping of search results from ask.com.

Check it out on our Search results scraper video page and leave comments here!

Okay so I got my hands on some open source software which allows you to record your screen and microphone and save to an AVI video so I figured I’d throw something together and see if people like it.

The first video is just me creating a Ask.com keyword scraper and showing the process from start to end. The typing and audio is in real time.

Check it out on my Ask.com keyword scraper video page and please leave comments here!

I have just added another scraper script example to the blackhat seo scripts section. The thing I like about scraping the Google adwords sandbox is that it produces a large amount of alternative keywords and there are very few people scraping it!
