I actually “turn on” and “turn off” the saturation script every so often just to make sure everything is up to par. On a completly white hat sight i wouldn’t turn on the visitor ping for you very much if at all.

Now let me explain the hiddent jewl behind the “visitor ping for you” that is when they ping for your site.

Black hat people create rss scraper sites.

They do this by comparing the rss xml titles in rss feeds as they get posted up by the ping services (they normally have scrolling list of all the most recent pings with titles and links to the rss feeds).

When they find a title that matches there keywords, they download the rss feed, post the rss xml description and LINK back to the original source. That is they link to your page.

So the more often you ping, the more likely your site will get snatched by a black hat who although they have the same content, will not have the benefit of all the other black hats linking to them (each black hat will be linking to your site not any other black hats)

so basically you will be getting a whole host of back links for nothing, without spamming any people (i am very against spamming people, spaming bots doesn’t hurt anyone).

seeing as you are not pinging from your ip address you won’t get banned.

Now you can create a script that is even more devilish and exploit the black hats directly by, creating a fake rss fee, pumped up with your own affiliate links or redirect sites using the same exact titles that you know the black hats are already scraping. This will give you a few hundread back links per hour, the problem is that it gives so many back links so fast that some search engines might frown on it (not really worth it for a white hat site, but find for a redirect site). I have a script that does this too, but it is turn key (you just input the affiliatiat links urls or target links urls, keywords, and descriptions, you get traffic, you get sales). Sorry but this script is not free, to many idiots would get there hands on it if it was. You can email me if you want in on it, shawn you are welcome to post my email here, i won’t because i don’t want to be flagged as spam.

[Edit: Here it is - linkyme@linkyme.com]

If you have a really devilish black hat websit you can do caleidoscope iframe hacks, but it can get ugly.

I am of the mindset that i will let a lot of people get the better deal of any transaction with me, but then i do a lot of transactions with a lot of people so in the end i win. so “the guy” is all about win-win.

Let kindly ask you to remove a call to action to click on the links on my page as that is not fair to the people buying the ads (an not nessary because the ads are good and targeted as it is). There is even a chance that i might get in trouble with google which would really suck. The best way to thank me is a link.

I also have two other scripts on that site, one for each visitor to ping for you when (s)he visits, and one that makes enticing urls.
