Free Blogs With PR - WPMU Exploit

[Resurrection]

Hey,

My friend Emailed me

All of you must be a little familiar with Wordpress and the system it works around.

When a particular wordpress blog isnt used for some time it generally is deactivated and anybody else can re-register it (applies to wordpress.com)

This method has been exploited on wordpress.com like a dead duck ever since a fellow SEO Pro revealed this method of finding expired wordpress.com blogs with PR.

Now, this method is a slight improvisation of the original method and involved WPMU.

WPMU FYI is a Wordpress Multi User Platform with 1000’s of sites running on it.

An example site running on WPMU would be http://www.blogates.com

Now this process involved targetting expired WPMU blog’s with PR and I’ve just put it down under a step by step procedure:

1. Install the SEO Quake Toolbar for FireFox, which will help you out in this process - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...quake&status=4

2. Go to google.com and go to the preferences tab and change the number of results google will pull out to 100.

3. Now, open another instance of google.com

4. Type in “Fill out this one-step form and you’ll be blogging seconds later!” in the first instance. This will help us to find some WPMU sites and will populate a nice little list for us.

5. In Google Instance number 2, type in the keyword “doesn’t exist but you can create it now!” and put in the “site:” attribute to make it pull out results from just one WPMU site at an instance (We get the WPMU sites list from Google instance number 1)

6. Now, as the results are populated for the instance 2, use the SEO Quake Toolbar to populate the PR of the result pages.

7. Use the toolbar to sort results by descending order of PR.

8. Follow the links to the blogs with PR and register them!

You can rinse and repeat this method to get as many PR blogs as you like!

I got almost 15 PR 2-5 blogs within half an hour of doing this!

This method isnt just as exploited as the Wordpress.com exploit and not many people are applying it to WPMU and the chances of finding high PR blogs which are expired is high!

P.S :: Sorry if this is the wrong category.. I did not know where to post..

Is this legal or appropriate for that matter? seems to me like this is an SEO's way of cheating.

Very interesting, but one wonders if such a thing will have bad effects on seo of a site. are my concerns correct, or would this method not be a problem SEO wise?

Uh, I believe this falls under gray hat. I'd do it, but my plate is full enough the way it is. Plus, surely the value of that page rank will drop immensely since if it's dead, the links to it will soon follow.

Short term solution.
