<added from post #23 in this thread: I hate to say it but if you've been to that link [the one I delinked which is listed below] you need to run your anti spyware software to remove at least 11 spyware applications that they have installed.

Runilo · 01-11-2005, 12:05 AM

check the inbound links of that site

mchas · 01-11-2005, 01:44 AM

How the heck did they pull that off? Can anyone read the words on that site?

I've seen the cracked code pasted in two different forums. In fact, I even copied it to WordPad just for the heck of it.

I don't believe it's really the best of ideas to be posting it though, it will only causes G to change their code sooner I think, when they start seeing it plastered all over the place.

I did post it in a SEO forum once, and it was quickly removed by the admin, where as in the forum I got it from, the admin couldn't have cared less and it's probably still there, so, I don't know. I wouldn't post it again though, I know that. I just don't think that it's a good idea.

even when going directly to Google and look for their backlinks, it still shows over 3 million, including from google.

Damn that's nice =)

Google thinks that that url is Google.com

All that you need to do, for what?

eCommando · 01-13-2005, 11:15 PM

Cache of the page shows the google home page.

Oh, yeah ... I'm referring to the algo script that had to be deciphered to make the G PR bar work, like the one for Firefox.

I have that code here on my PC somewhere and have been looking for it but haven't found it yet... I don't know why I am looking for it though, because I won't post it.. and I certainly am not going to use it for anything ... lol

.. but I do have it, along with a zillion other people, I'm sure ... it was posted on a 'huge' forum.

It may also be from Google, and who ever uses it will get detected and bounced from their results. In other words it could be a set up from Google...their way of fighting unscrupulous seo's.

That's killer!

A good way to convince people to buy some links from you.

walkman · 01-14-2005, 07:44 PM

did the redirect their domain to Google for a while or what?

gorillaboy · 01-14-2005, 07:51 PM

yep.

302-style!

SN3 · 01-15-2005, 08:48 AM

Wow! That's strange how you did that!
