Is creating multiple blogs a spam,

Many think creating a lot of blogs and linking back to your own site is Search Engine Spam. So where is the threshold limit when it comes to number of blogs that you own. It all depends on how much unique information you have in those blogs plus how well they are hosted and how many quality back links they have. If the blogs all have their own separate content and doesn’t have spam links I would feel having even 100 blogs are still legit.

Blogs had been a driving force behind search engine optimization / search engine ranking for a long time so do what is good for you and your visitors instead of worrying too much about what search engines think about your website and your blogs.

One article says everything done to improve ranking is spam, we disagree with it,

Article says

What is web spam?
Spamming = any deliberate action
solely in order to boost a web page’s
position in search engine results,
incommensurate with page’s real value
Spam = web pages that are the result of
spamming
This is a very broad definition
SEO industry might disagree!
SEO = search engine optimization
Approximately 10-15% of web pages
are spam

Million Dollar Homepage back after a severe and malicious DDOS attack,

We reported in our previous posting that million dollar homepage is suffering from ddos attack, Now they are back online,

this is what Alex says in his blog

“I can confirm that MillionDollarHomepage.com has been subjected to a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack by malicious hackers who have caused the site to be extremely slow loading or completely unavailable since last Thursday, 12th January 2006.
I can also confirm that a demand for a substantial amount of money was made which makes this a criminal act of extorsion. The FBI are investigating and I’m currently working closely with my hosting company, Sitelutions, to bring the site back online as soon as possible. More news soon.
“

Million Dollar Homepage down for past 2 days, Reports says its because of a major DDOS attack launched against the site,

The Million Dollar Homepage which has been reported to run for 5 years is now down for a considerably long time, Most reports say the site was down because of a major DDOS ( distributed denial of service ) attack against the site,

Infoworld reports

“The wildly successful pixel-powered Web page of a British university student is coming under increasingly intense DDOS (distributed denial of service) attacks trying to knock down the profitable brainstorm

The site is hosted on a server in Ashburn, Virginia, in a data center run by Equinix, where InfoRelay has much of its hardware, Weiss said. The high bandwidth use didn’t cause problems for InfoRelay, as the company has a multigigabit network and provides bandwidth for a major search engine, Weiss said.

But The Million Dollar HomePage attracted malicious attention, coming under DDOS fire late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning, he said.

Officials from InfoRelay met to figure out what they could do to stem the attacks within the constraints of Tew’s service package, Weiss said. Tew wasn’t on an enterprise-level deal that often includes advanced hardware, from vendors such as Cisco Systems (Profile, Products, Articles), used to prevent the effects of DDOS attacks, Weiss said.

Administrators implemented several proprietary internal techniques to slow and alleviate the effects, he said. “We sort of volunteered our time to do what we could,” Weiss said.

The attacks are coming from computers worldwide, including the U.S., Europe and Asia, Weiss said. The attacks could be the work of a botnet — a network of computers illegally commandeered for sending spam and DDOS attacks.

“

Sitelutions.com their webhost says the site was burning 200 megabits per second of internet bandwidth ( Oops )

“We are honored that Alex selected us to host his site. With so much worldwide coverage, Alex needed a host that could support [the site’s intense bandwidth requirements,” said Paul Singh, Assistant Director of Operations at InfoRelay Online Systems, Inc.

Sitelutions has hosted The Million Dollar Homepage since September, 23, 2005. At that time, Mr. Tew’s site had grossed approximately $108,000. Since Sitelutions has hosted the site, Mr. Tew’s site has received up to 16 million hits per day, 500,000 unique visitors per day, and has utilized up to 200 megabits per second of Internet bandwidth.”

So when will the site be online?

Detecting "rel=nofollow" – way to detect the new anti comment spam tag rel=nofollow using FireFox browser — search engine optimization tip 23 2005

There is a new way to detect rel=nofollow tag using the firefox browser, Detecting this tag helps in catching cheating webmasters using this tag in their directories and link exchanges,

rel=nofollow tag can be highlighted in firefox by adding a simple line to the main CSS file ( usercontent.css ) which powers the appearance of the web pages in firefox browser,

we have to find the path of the usercontent.css file and add a simple line so that the rel=nofollow link appears in a different colour,

For Windows XP / windows 2000 users:

C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\hmgpxvac.default\chrome

hmgpxvac can be anything on your system,

For PCs using Windows 98 / ME:

C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\hmgpxvac.default.default\chrome

Open up your new userContent.css file and add the following line:

a[rel~=”nofollow”] { border: thin dashed firebrick! important; background-color: rgb(255, 200, 200)! important; } save the file,

if above code is used firefox will automatically highlight links in red,

You can highlight links in internet explorer too refer the attached for it,

SEO Blog Team,

Does google lag / sandbox algorithm really exist or it is just a type of spam filter and the new site penalty is just a myth?/?

Check the top 10 results for tsunami,

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=tsunami

this site tsunamihelp.blogspot.com is completely new but ranking in top 3 for the keyword tsunami, It is breaking our head what causes some new sites / new pages with sudden boost in backlinks not appearing in the top results of google,

Has been seeing lot of theories across various forums but none of them give real quality targeted information we need,

So what causes this sandboxing of sites, will it ever get released ?????
