Thank You Black Hat world - CSS for idiots

Hey Guys I have a feeling this is why my sites were deindexed...

I got an RSS feed via my autoblog S/W, a few posts were pure markov carp. The links to the original post was at Vox.com, and just like stated above hundreds of anchors lined up.

I noticed it because of the resources being taken up on on VPS. I don't know if it was search engines following the links or what. My blogs would not even load, I had to access through wp-admin.

So, it looks like the method will get your site banned, so why not submit, mass submit splog feeds to the planet.

Remedy, deleted all posts black xdays. My G traffic is slowly coming back.

I'm looking at Yahoo Pipes as an alternative feed system now.

:cool:

So basically you can add key words in on your site without it being detected? Is this right. Spiders will see mad keywords but the people reviewing your site won't. That way you won't be penalized by google?

Is this right?
 
Right.


You can put an encyclopedia in there and people will just love your site because they are "John Cena" to it
 
Code: 
position:absolute;
top: -500px; 
left: -500px;

this css code will do the same - hide content from people, but it is there for spiders.

This is true, but if anyone tries this method it's a good idea to place the code in an external .css file and hide that file from the SE's by disallowing them access on your robots.txt file.

Some SE's will call on the .css file when crawling.
 
that is why the new trick works, because they are still not in the know in identifying it. I came across the bug when my "9" keys got stuck in my laptop....then I noticed that the area of text was not showing, then I search around a bit cause having a +9pt starting in the font-size will surely trigger some alarms in Google, then I came across a guy who has been doing it since CSS2.0 started. I copied his code and tried random numbers to it

Yeah, I'm only suggesting it as I've read where some SE's will do calls for .css files. Disallowing them from crawling an external .css file should keep it from being detected.

SE's may not be on to it now but you know as well as I do that it's only a matter of time before they do. Better to just cover your tail end.
 
just tried it, and both codes work on seamonkey. the print is very tiny, but still visible.
be aware this doesn't work if you set your browser's minimum font setting to anything
above 'none'.

(i have mine set to 'min 11')
 
Neither have I, I hate cryptic posts are supposed to help, but I guess I'll always be a CSS idiot. :) I fail to understand this at all -- I'll continue pussyfooting hehe, or maybe a clear purpose will be posted?
 
Its like those devices men buy to enlarge their dick :) Right, xboxgrl? :)
 
This bug lets you set your font size to below 1pt.
Visitors can't read it, but the search engines can.

Stick it in your css file and call it with a span tag.
But only on keywords that are on the page, like so:

<span id="tiny">cars, trucks, vans<span>

At least that's how I did it, and it seemed to work.

Thanks for that. Clarity right there :D
Also, thanks for the post XboxGurl - good stuff indeed.

Uhm. I'm a web site designer and there already is methods that SE's actually allow. CSS for hiding text in order to show an image (image replacement) for example.

text-indent:-9999px;

is legal, well.. at least according to Matt Cutts. And yes, this can be exploited as well. :rolleyes:
 
How I use it?
Can anyone help?

I don't understand about CSS...
 
w3 schools is your friend hun, go learn there a few codes.

Anyways thanks for appreciating guys, just keep it shrouded so it won't get too saturated. MWAH
