I promise to remove adsense ads

nospam@example.com (Vangel) — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 20:01:35 -0700

Yes.
I don't know why I even put them in, in the almost one year it has been there it has earned me no more than $3. I followed some gurus guide by the way on placement. My dreams of getting that Porsche have been shattered. I hate you Google. Your business acumen is commendable. You sell on dreams on hopes. T_T. Anyway I find the ads very annoying I think I did it all wrong and it ends up screwing up my serendipity layout.

Unless I was making 1000$ plus every month even I cant bear to look at the way the ads are there. I could reduce the size n all but it would still be crap.

Sorry Adsense. You don't bribe enough to intercourse with my articles. begone.

In any case adsense is going to close my account . The reason they give is someone is comment spamming and those comments have words like "nude, sexy" etc. There, I just did it again. look at the sky for a missile heading my way

According to Adsense I must make sure ads don't appear in such pages. So I wrote snippet to handle that in PHP. Please don't use it it will never save your adsense account in real life cause your pages won't load.

PHP:



<?php

$shouldIdisplayAdsense = true; //better sorry than safe?

$listOfBadWords = array('sex','nude','porn','vigra','cialis'......... // goes on for 6000 known words please find your own list



foreach($listofBadwords as $badmkay){

  if(stristr($post,$badmkay)){

     $shouldIdsplayAdsense = false;

     }

   foreach($comments as $comment){

     if(stristr($comment,$badmkay)){

              $shouldIdisplayAdsense = false;

          }

      }

}





if($shouldIdisplayAdsense){

?>



<---Google Adsense code here -->



<? } ?>

Yes. So finally instead of doing that on every page i send a complaint to google adsense with url of google groups which were full on spam and included adsense ads. take that bish!

Bye Adsense.

who is hiring morons to write about debt consolidation and other stupid google keywords

nospam@example.com (Vangel) — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 18:36:48 -0700

i suddenly see a surge of useless articles on the internet about stupid words like Debt Consolidation.
Do you know suddenly its so popular ?

here's why.
Google!

Apparently Google Keyword tools is used by bottom scrapers to find keywords that are most expensive (by the way its reserved for advertisers not for adsense publishers you morons).

Then they go about writing articles for it. So as to get adsense ads. The articles are written by some monkey in vuvuzela land for a buck or two. and then the internet is flooded with totally incomprehensible shit that says "Debt Consolidation". It's two fricking English words and this is what it means

In finance , common sense is different (its nonsense) According to fund managers & economists the like, some camps say " diversify Investments" so financial common sense is you must do the opposite for debt. so it becomes "Debt consolidation" which is supposed to be a good effing idea. Three cheers and a nobel fricking prize for you Captain Financial Common Sense!

So anyway, the reason Debt Consolidation is so high on adwords as having $50 per click is probably because thats the price at which Google will consider showing the advertisers ads. This is because loan sharks invent or use words like these to pimp their illegal businesses. So in effect Google does not want anyone to advertise these words.

Think about it.. who in their right mind would pay your $50 for a fucking click. go figure.

[Proof] BringVisitor.com review: is illegitimate Fraud and bot traffic scam [WITH PROOF PEOPLE]

nospam@example.com (Vangel) — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 19:20:43 -0700

The story of how a Fraudster Online Service was turned around on them! (not really but arse wipin is good once in awhile)

Ok. I am no moron on tech stuff alright. I may not be that smart but some things are very very easy to know. I warn you, I am so angry right now that this is going to be read like Hate.

first a note on how it all started.
I found bringvisitor.com somehow. I saw it a couple of times and it looked interesting. But ofcourse I googled for any experience or scam so after 2 days of googling.... I did not get anything definitive. While people can slander and accuse no one had any PROOF! So they could be competitors. Which is why I give you PROOF right here of BringVisitor.com FRAUD. I own no traffic selling system and I am no affiliate of any of them. I run adsense on some blogs and parked domains. I never get enough traffic and the legit traffic I get is after over 3+ years of google search hits oand returning visitors. I do pay for Adwords for a hosting reseller service I am promoting. So there you have it.
I also read positive comment of BringVisitor elsewhere. I did see a hint of samefaggery but I couldn't be sure. So anyway I thought 10$ is worth a shot eh! I mean we gotta give people a chance. Nobody had anything on them... until now.

See how my 10$ experiment is going to turn into their death.

How the Trap was setup
I was skeptical so this is what I did.
I set up a three page site, one css, and ONLY inline javascript. I put images in CSS so that they will load and go 304 status since everything is static. Now I am sure that either I will loose 10$ to a scammer OR I will make it back using affiliate links. I also designed this parked page randomly. I mixed 4 Links in my menu 2 local pages, one js popup, and one add this external site link. Since I could only find an adult affiliate link I mentioned in my note to them that this is NSFW in clear english.

The footer of every page has a Feedburner URL.

The domain was unused for 4 years, ever since I shut down a short lived search site. The logs were empty and there is nothing to index on google.

Without controlling the urge here I go...
1. All their traffic is CHINESE. I am betting back in China they have so many people sitting and clicking all day they can make good money just from that. But this is even worse actually
2. ALMOST 99% of their traffic is China and they rotate proxies in different parts of the world to generate hits from various countries. (But the faggots forgot to change User Agent string which gives away the Chinese browsers. ) They may be using some sort of plugin for auto browsing. imagine how many people are there in china who could use 1$ a day job like this.
3. But the thing is, it all may not even be human. Apparently they must have hit a tight spot and realized bandwidth is expensive or the Chinese Turks have slow connection. So here is what they really F-ed up. I was sitting in SSH after receiving their email that I should now get traffic. So I did a quick
#tail -f .... access.log.

Guess what I saw... no images ever loaded. I was preloading 5 images using CSS. If a real person using a regular browser visited the site they would get all the images and every other visit would show a 304 (not modified) in my log.

I will be attaching the Log File of my domain as it rolls over . If you are not familiar with web server logs you can have a sys admin look at them.

4. I immediately emailed them back asking then to stop the automated bot traffic

(excerpts are below).

5. Another thing to notice in their log was this. Many changing IPs first visit was 304 (not modified). Also check the user agents they use. Mostly Chinese plugins n all.

6. Many user agents "claimed" to have Alexa Toolbar so it might boost your Alexa ranking yes. But I am also sure Alexa detects IPs like these and blacklist them. then blacklist you.

7. By the way I noticed the behaviour similar to an attack I once had on my site. I dont know if it was intentional. But the traffic signature was same. Now I know where it was coming from. Someone had probably hotlinked a picture from my site on their page, or one of these Chinese traffic generators may have done so. (the referring site was Chinese scraper that copied content into its domains and my sites picture was hotlinked there wtf! >.<) So it could be exponential effect of combining bot scraped traffic mixed with China Turks. I should have known better >.< the guys name on the site sounded Chinese.

MOst of the User Agent and this browser + proxy stuff people can do these days with Firefox plugins.

8. It is possible that 1% or so is legit traffic but I am yet to see one and while I write this I keep switching to SSH window (running for 2 hrs) since I read their email.

9. They claim in email that it can be tracked by Google Analaytics. Yep sure. You execute the Javascript but amazingly 99% (at this time 100%) of your visitors use a browser that blocks images. Wow! please stick with the story...
(just got the email)

Today is the first day of this service. If you happen to be here as it happens now you might wanna hang around as I will be updating my blog with information as it comes in. The whole weekend to trace these bast***, get all their information and post it up, yes make it worth my money.

I dont care about what people think when I say "first things first block all China traffic all together first and THEN we can go back to our other Internet problems as they used to be". It's the way it is.

Stay right here.. more interesting stuff will be coming in shortly. If you find this article useful share people. Get these guys of the Interwebs.

UPDATE: I am positing an extract from my log files [NOTE, the domain i am promoting has content which is NSFW]

See full article view for the Log sample, Screenshot of my account and more info as I update it. I will make available my web server log files as is for download so other admin/webmaster can know what's going on and make more use of it

[web server log for 12 hours uploaded and some screenshots]

NEW UPDATE LATEST: SCAMMERS are TRYING TO FIX THE SOFTWARE. LOL.!

So I posted my blog to DP forums which I believe is the best source of good information and also here. I dont know if they figured it or when I threated to prove by logs or what but two things happened.

All of a sudden the logs are recording real Image impression. All right all right I admit the Google Analytics stats updated. But Guess what! See the screen below. I dont know whether to laughr or cry. I have spent hours of my life trying to get rid of Chinese Spam traffic from my popular sites. And here I am paying for the same T_T See the screenshot of utter bullshitness below.

Tiger Airways Online booking rip off - paws off

nospam@example.com (Vangel) — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 17:29:19 -0800

Started my first online booking with Tiger Airways on their website. After going through step by step and finally selecting the seats etc. everything was fine or so I thought...

Just before the Credit card details step I was shown my total to be SG $308. Thats it. $308 flat big fat figure in black, no mention whatsoever of any other charges. Everything had been added to it, even the totally nonsense "Seat Selection" charge. Ok fine whatever.
The font size was clear

$308

I enter my CC details, click OK ... processing

BLAM you card has been processed, total amount $318 (No mention of where exactly this is coming from)
A new line was added, more nonsensical that seat selection charges - its just said
One round trip - $10

WTF!!!

.. in standard font size. So easy to get gullible people who dont pay attention. randomly steal 10$ from every passenger and voila... you have extra cash on the side.

try calling their hotline. but ofcourse screw you, this budget-ripping-airline. my point is, you say total $308 then charge that, not $308.10 or $307.90 and definitely not $318???!!!!

I can never ever trust these people. Hope I can save someone else the rage of it all and blood pressure.

I hope they die in this recession. Happy New year Tiger airways

Now I am wondering how the hell the flash advertisement on top works fine and a simple HTML+Javascript does not work fine all of a sudden.

Americans should be extinct.
