Nintendo, this thread may be never ending, but it seems you started something that seems to be baring fruit. Thanks to the obsessive compulsive behavior of some members lots of these sub-domain spammers are getting exposed and then subsequently removed from Google's serps. This is a very good thing. I don't know how well Google can close loopholes these spammers are using to flood Google's SERPs, but at least you guys are digging them up, and reporting them, which is helping to get rid of them. Now if we could get them out of Alexa so that they stopped screwing up those stats.
Every single time we see one of these sites, we should post the URL here. So far, every single time, they've been banned. Though I'm starting to think Google has updated something that makes it check for them and is now automatically banning them with out even looking at this thread. Some one should do a test. Find a spammy domain that uses this trick. Don't post it for a few days, then if it's still indexed, post the Google search URL here. If it is then deleted, then I think Google is watching this thread and is manually banning them.
I posted this one a few days ago and it still there... hopefully this takes care of it http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&c2coff=1&q=site:onlinehome.us&btnG=Search
Looks like it depends on the country. Let's see if they get it out of both Google sites. http://www.google.com/search?q=site:festaattuale.com 904 http://www.google.it/search?q=site:festaattuale.com 214,000
I don't know which DC you're hitting ninni, but I'm getting the same counts in both .com and .it. Here, let's see if they catch a smaller one: elmuna.info. Also, someone at Google stated that they thought that the site: command was returning much more accurate results on this dc: 72.14.207.104 which is showing much less results for that domain. -Michael
The site: operator on this DC is not showing any supplemental results (at least for the sites I checked). I need to check and see if a query produces any results from the SI. Dave
Odd... I just rechecked several sites that were not showing their SI listings but are showing them now. Dave
Oh whatever, I never hid that. It's the whole point of the site. Didja actually read them? I think it works rather well in most cases. I don't know about the translations though, I should get someone to check those. If they're wrong blame it on Google. -Michael
site: (my domain) is showing pages that I have NEVER had! They are all supplemental... This DC scares the hell out of me.
My educational sites haven't budged, most are still #1 on that dc, but my financial ones are bouncing. -Michael
New to this forum, but I thought this was a great idea. I've been watching a site thats been spamming with subdomains for a while, but google hasn't figured it out yet. They are up to 43 million pages of subdomain SPAM. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLJ,GGLJ:2006-12,GGLJ:en&q=site%3aabout%2ecom John
http://72.14.207.104/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&q=site:generalhospital.about.com&btnG=Search 10,700 pages about General Hospital??? WTF? I mean, sure, million of fan sites, that's ok... but over 10k pages from the same site? Ok, scroll down this page... anyone notice anything? http://72.14.207.104/search?q=site:...com&num=100&hl=en&lr=&start=900&sa=N&filter=0 -Michael
