Hi everybody,

Strange thing... When I click on "Black Hat SEO Tools", I'm redirected to :

Code:

http://www.apple.com/iphone/

And a lot of connections on the section :

It's just a new marketing tactic from Apple. Now they are hijacking forum traffic. Apparently product announcements and huge press doesn't bring enough traffic anymore

Just analysed, it seems to be a .htaccess hack (?).

GET procedure on the URL of the BlackHat Tools section :

I think it is more to gain some fake pagerank, rather than a hack ..

[EDIT]Just realized it was on BHW itself lol. But it might be a test for the PR trick, some further explanations would be good.

You're right, certainly.

But, who the f*** would try to give fake PR to the BlackHat Tools section... ?
This trick is long to apply.
