Fight Splogs

As you know Planet [tag]Malaysia[/tag] [tag]Aggregates[/tag] page has been subjected to plagiarism site like http://planetmalaysia.inboogle.com and there is no action taken so far. (weird! We can’t access the link last night but it happen again this morning)

Whois inboogle.com?

This is so called [tag]SPLOGS[/tag].

What is Splog? SPAM + BLOG = SPLOG. “Splog” is short for Spam Blog. Spam blogs are blogs that don’t provide any real content for users. They exist solely to game the search engines. These splogs may exist just to have links to other websites or, they may have ads on the blog itself. The content on splogs are auto-generated, either from some other source or a list of useless keywords.

[tag]Spam[/tag] Blogs, sometimes referred to by the neologism splogs, are artificially created weblog sites which the author uses to promote affiliated websites or to increase the search engine rankings of associated sites. The purpose of a splog can be to increase the PageRank or backlink portfolio of affiliate websites, to artificially inflate paid ad impressions from visitors, and/or use the blog as a link outlet to get new sites indexed. Spam blogs are usually a type of scraper site, where content is often either Inauthentic Text or merely stolen (see blog scraping) from other websites. These blogs usually contain a high number of links to sites associated with the splog creator which are often disreputable or otherwise useless websites.

There is frequent confusion between the terms “splog” and “spam in blogs”. Splogs are blogs where the articles are fake, and are only created for search engine spamming. To spam in blogs, conversely, is to include random comments on the blogs of innocent bystanders, in which spammers take advantage of a site’s ability to allow visitors to post comments that may include links.

http://planetmalaysia.inboogle.com is using http://elliottback.com/ wordpress plug in. If you can see a post or article tagged with the line “Original post by YOU and software by Elliott Back“, this is definitely a spam blog or splogs.

Browse Our History Page

This is to inform that we’re currently testing an additional features so called “browse end of the day history page” which you can see display on the sidebar main page.

Why we so called end of the day and why we need history page? We know and we’re believe some of our readers or supporters may miss out some nice blog or article. So our system will generate the history page around 23:00 - 23:30 every night to serve from calendar day 1 to 31. When anyone click on individual day of the month, you will redirect to the history page generate daily. Please be patient, there may have some error or page not available during testing period.
