I feel like in the name of tradition I should start arguing with incredibill here...but excellent post ;-)
Dont worry shady, the BH contingency will never allow this sphinn to hit the home page.
Heh you enjoy the conspiracy theories.
Its stalled at 14 sphinns, Im pretty sure its not a conspiracy theory any more ;)
Awesome post Incredibill! Are you kidding ... this is absolutely going hot! Would be a shame not to! Im never really seen anything looking at it from this perspective before.
Im glad Shady and his skull & bones crew werent able to bury this one...great post!
Good post. Will stop most snoopers...except for ones that know how to use lib_curl properly.And look, it went hot even with all the deshpinning shady did ;)
@DarkMatter: I have a skull and bones crew? Heh. You give me too much credit.I have nothing against incredibill anyways. His specialty is really the same as mine, just used in a different way. No matter how you cut it, its all access control.Heh and for the record, I did not desphinn. I dont really desphinn much of anything haha.
I know...I was just antagonizing the WH conspiracy theory group. curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, &skull&bones&rulz);
The speed trap scripts or Anti-Crawl will stop lib_curl screaming through a site.
Heh IncrediBill, Ive used libcurl many times now...and "screaming" is not what Id call its speed. Not unless you deal with a wholleeee lotta hassle
OK, Ill define "screaming" as more than 10-15 pages in a minute which exceeds typical usage.
Heres a bonus idea I got today from someones comment:One more creative thing you can do to your website is cloak the meta tags so that only the search engines see them and disable the meta tags for normal visitors. Nothing really wrong with this because meta tags by definition are only for the search engines and snooping SEOs will be completely left in the dark when they cant see your meta keywords or description. Especially if you combine cloaking meta tags with the NOARCHIVE option described above so then its completely hidden from prying eyes.
At least part of the meta description will appear in the SERPs in any case, so they can never be completely hidden from prying eyes.
Thats true, but only a portion will show and the meta keywords will be hidden. Still better than wide open access and watching your $EO investment go down the drain as fast as some tool can grab the pages.
BTW, the meta tag trick could also save big sites a ton of bandwidth instead of dumping all those useless tags to millions of visitors
I have been extremely busy the last few days, and I finally got back over here to see how the sphinn crowd thought of your post. Guess they enjoyed it. Funny that an off white hat seo submitted it, but not many WH comments. You gotta defend your property regardless of what color your hat is, right?
