And it would be almost kind of ok if they actually said, hey, we're victims here too... instead of their actual ongoing response to their customers of "it's not our problem". Yes, publicly they are making some (very limited) concessions t

In order for it to be a Wordpress vulnerability there would need to be a corresponding entry in the http logs showing the request, either a GET or a POST, hitting whichever exploitable file it was within Wordpress itself. There is no such s

Way more people than I would have thought, actually. They really upsell their hosting and other addons when you buy a domain, even if you are an existing customer. Unfortunately this results in a large number of non-technically oriented peo

I disagree with the title statement, as there is little in life more subjectively judged than beauty, but the post itself is very well written.

HN doesn't filter duplicate url's? They don't have a search function that I am aware of. Is there a way to check before submitting?

He's not kickstarting it with Wikipedia. Mahalo is not new. The two main issues with all of these scraped pages is that a) Jason recently boasted how Wikipedia was, in his words, simply a "free for all" (thus leaving the impression that he

The only issue I contend with personally on porn is the number of women who create it in order to support a drug habit, thus removing a portion of the voluntariness from it. I know that factor does not apply to all women creating porn, not

The noindex tags were there... you took them out again as soon as Matt Cutts looked at the pages. If you want to be taken seriously, maybe you can address that issue instead of calling me a troll for bringing it up. Also, if you are going t

That is actually quite typical of you, Jason. You respond to well documented and well written articles that cast you and your actions in a negative light by avoiding any discussion whatsoever that actually addresses those facts, by making m

Sorry I did not answer your question earlier. I used that particular page in the post because it was an example of how these autogenerated pages come into being in the first place, from a post I did back when I first called Jason on the pra

Jason, you are actually full of crap. For starters, you are mistaken, or pretending not to know, as to why this keeps happening to you. You brought this on yourself, and on Mahalo.com, by unsubtle spamming and boasting about it, and then be

The first comment they probably voted down because you expressed an opinion that had no relation to the way things work... Matt Cutts can't add noindex to a page, only the people who own the websites can do that. The second comment was prob

It is important to note though that he is not claiming that he sees no evidence for the claims made in the article, he's just predicting that others will make claims that are not supported based on the same data.

I think that it is likely that many religious organizations learned 'sex sells' much earlier than the marketing industry even.

You are absolutely right, it is mediocre crap. The issue is that through the spam techniques described in the article, he can now gain undeserved top 10 rankings for many phrases using pages that have no business being there. If you are not

Jason, did you even read my article? This isn't about the traffic those autogenerated pages get, it's about the fact that through the minuscule amounts of PageRank that they are each capable of grabbing, you are now able to rank your medioc

Yeah, sedo parking is a bitch tho, since by it's very nature it's tons of different domains. You would need a way to block by app.

Can't you just see Matt Cutts, sitting in his office, connecting to sites like HN through multiple proxy levels creating fake Matt accounts so he can leave truthful comments without his bosses at Google finding out... and when they question

No, different datacenters will show different results... sometimes very different. It also matters if you are visiting Google.com or one of the country variants. According to what Jason said in another comment, however, all of their pages a
