What are Russian Partnerka?
Sep/098
In my effort to blog a bit more i have been reading around and most of the internet is trash but i learned a new word today.
Partnerka
Anyone whom has an interest in black hat seo will see that the russians and eastern europeans are very active on the darker side of the web.
Some have reported that the Russian Mafia are involved in SEO and Black Hat SEO which i dont doubt because i know the Italian Mafia are.
Back some years ago it was the Germans that were the heavy web spammers and google.de was all but destroyed on every search.
A group of germans setup an adsense clicking fraud ring and i am led to believe that some of them are still in jail which sort of scared a lot of the germans along with the bmw.de scandal.
When webspam in germany went quiet there was a sudden rise in russian webspam which i think is unrelated.
The eastern europeans get a lot of unfair critisism because of the `unethical` ways they use in ranking sites.
To give you some backround on eastern earope.
A wage can be $200 a month and things are still pretty primitive in a lot of areas.
A webspammer can support a family of 20 on his/her webspam earnings.
In this economy earning $200 a day is nothing to someone in a westernised place like uberly expensive Oslo or Southern Europe but to a russian wretch in a slum in the middle of moscow it goes a long long way.
To support these agressive eastern europeans there are affiliate networks called Partnerka who allow you to do pretty much anything to bring them traffic.
They allow almost any kind of traffic and really only care about the amount of sales you can bring.
If you come across the spam links on a forum or blog and get annoyed just remember that those links may be earning enough to feed a family of 20 so just click away and give them a break.
Twitter terms of service update? people want to be mad just because its a social network
Sep/090
I was just reading that twitter updated its tos and looking through twitter it seems that people want to be mad at the changed `because thats what you do when a social network changes its tos` but they just cant find anything.
One thing i notice.
Ownership—Twitter is allowed to “use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute” your tweets because that’s what we do. However, they are your tweets and they belong to you.
Wouldnt they want ownership of them or did they learn the lesson from when the fuckwit users of facebook bleated about their update where they claimed ownership?
Or is it a way to pass the responsibilty to the user?
If twitter owned the post would they be responsible for a libelous or false posting?
Seems easy to me.
Just let the users keep ownership and if there is any legal challenges just send them a link to the tos.
Or am i very critical and suspicious?
Should we start or restart an opensource content generator in Syndk8?
Sep/092
Things have moved on a lot since 2005 when i first started getting involved with blackhat but the internet still hasnt changed.
There is definetely still a market for spammy pages and you just have to use a search engine to see that.
I am torn as what to do.
Back a few years ago there was;
Eiso that created Rssg which someone forked to Rssgm.
Levi created mygen and then donated it to syndk8 which someone then took and forked off to create yacg.
Pretty much only those 2 spring to mind.
Even though the internet is about text and links there dosent seem to be that many content genrators or mixers released into opensource.
Is there any that i am missing?
I think all the rest were paid and when people stopped buying them they were no longer improved or maintained.
I think it could be fun to do something for the new Labs at Syndk8 and revisit the old rssg, rssgm,mygen and yacg to make a fun little project that can hopefully make some people a lot of money.
I have a ton of old content generators and scripts that can be updated and thrown together to make something decent.
I also have several terrabytes of new and old scraped.
A few billion keywords that i no longer use.
So a call out to my 3 readers.
Any old php content mixing or site building scripts you have laid about and abandoned?
Looking for good affiliate marketing blogs to review
Sep/091
Do you have an affiate marketing blog you think i should read abd discuss?
What about a black hat seo blog thats interesting?
Anything you have seen which we could talk about, review or discuss?
I am looking for interaction with the blog and giving people what they want on here, so just tell me what you want and i will deliver.
Would you like me to demustify some bullshit people have been talking about?
Want to know the history of anything in seo or blackhat? I am like the rainman of seo and remeber most things historically in the serps.
Leave a comment and we can talk about which way we can move forward.
ADD and maintaining a blog is really hard + Stuff thats happening
Sep/090
I forget i have it but i have so much to say sometimes.
Whats happening at the moment?
We just got summer out of the way in europe and most places of the world so the internet will get busier.
Christmas is coming so its time to launch those sites you have been putting off.
Syndk8 Stuff.
Syndk8 has a really good pixelnazi (designer) working on a new layout and architecture.
We wireframed it the other day and started doing the core.
The Blackhat SEO Labs will kick ass.
There will be loads of free tools and downloads.
I am writing loads of different BlackHat SEO tutorials and articles to help people get started in their black hat seo business.
My writing is a bit like a 10 year olds but if you can cope with the shocking grammar and lack of spellcheck it wil surely be worth reading.
After i created the first site to talk about black hat seo and the whole blackhat seo revolution we have developed something fantastic and there is loads of sites out there with great information on them but syndk8 still needs to be the authority so i am working on it really hard now.
Shit,, 3 blog posts on like a few hours probably nothing for the next month.
I will try and blog as and when every day if possible but i saw seoblackhat doing one blog per day and he started struggling with things to post after a few days.
lets see how it goes.
Wasspoker.com on the mergegaming network and its online casino aff network for sale.
Sep/092
Someone pinged me today and pointed me to this.(requires free login)
wass poker selling out
They were using moreniche affiliate network until recently and i did notice moreniche stopped pushing them.
They are on the merge network and i am not suprised they are trying to ditch it because from my limited experience they leave a lot to be desired.
It costs about $50k to just get a mergegamin network skin and piggyback on their licence in kanawake but this network bases on their stats isnt worth much more than that.
Look at how little they are making in the screenshot and i dont think its not because they dont know what they are doing.
It seemed like a well run poker room and they have quite a lot of sites but poker really sucks now for the smal rooms even if they have a lot of volume.
I very rarely or never got emails from them so they could maybe have made a lot more if they had a decent retention strategy.
Seems a bit fishy to me for some reason and those earnings do look a little low when they have some casino sites.
But this is a risky move posting a site like that for sale because if they dont sell it they have underminded the trust people put into them.
Some text from the sales page below to show exactly what you would get.

Linkwheel, Link Pyramid, Mosaic Cloaking and other stupid names.
Sep/090
If someone starts writing a 3 page post talking about linkwheels, link pyramids or mosaic cloaking and you think you are an idiot for not knowing these terms.
well you are not an idiot for not knowing them.
you are an idiot for going posting about what great concepts they are in forums or on twitter and for thinking what you read in a 3000 word blogpost overcomplicating the shit out of everything and giving you the ultimate tips was correct.
any fool can overcomplicate anything.
Bullshit baffles brains.
it takes someone really smart to explain something complicates in a simple way.
Not the other way round.
if someone is an awesome blogger it dosent mean they are giving you correct information.
unfortunately the ones that say they least are the ones you need to listen to.
