Google and iSnare

Hey,

Does anybody know what happend to Isnare? www.isnare.com

they lost their PR and it looks lile they are gone from google's index

 

Rank_1:1:0 Rank_1:1:0 Rank_1:1:0 Rank_1:1:0 Rank_1:1:0 Rank_1:1:0 Rank_1:1:0 Rank_1:1:0 Rank_1:1:0 Rank_1:1:0 Rank_1:1:0 Rank_1:1:0 Rank_1:1:0 Rank_1:1:0 Rank_1:1:0
Looks like they are banned
MSN Links ~ 32000
Yahoo ~ 15700
Google = 0

 

Well this sucks.

I was thinking of using their article distribution services but now i'm having second thoughts...

 

Why? None of the sites they distribute to are banned

 

so it's safe (maybe safe isnt a proper word) to use their distribution service?

 

Of course, they merely submit your site for you to all the other article sites (with their permission) so even if they were banned, it doesn't effect their service nor the benefit you get from it.

 

Agreed.I will still use them.It would be interesting to know why they were banned though.

 

Its Look like penalised by Google. Let us find the reason.

 

Is Isnare the best submission service?

Thanks,

Adam

 

They did a WebMasterWorld to try to take care of all the scraper bots that were clogging the bandwidth.

Thanks for the heads up mcfox
You can't blame them from trying to stop the scraping.

 

Isnare sends me lots of articles and I have not had any issues with them or my page rank at www.commandopress.com so I don't think that using their service is going to cause a problem and I have hit a PR of 3 with over 12,000 pages indexed in the last couple of months.

I hope to hit a PR of 6 within 6 more months! Maybe I'm crazy? Who knows?

Regards,

Rick

 

No, you're not crazy.

I was a bit vague in my description of what happened with isnare.com.

The admin at isnare.com decided to block every robot except Googlebot, Yahoo's Slurp, msnbot, etc., from accessing the site because people were scraping so much content using their own bots.

Unfortunately, a small error at server level on isnare.com resulted in ALL robots being blocked, including Google, Yahoo and MSN, which resulted in the site being dropped from the SE's.

WebMasterWorld adopted a similar approach for the same reasons a few months ago. The difference was WMW decided to block every bot for a time while isnare.com merely made a small mistake.

 

Dang! I really wanted to be crazy!

Well, that is good to know that isnare just made a blunder and didn't do some kind of black hat seo technique. Glenn's article submissions have been an added value to my site and I am glad to see that they will continue to be so.

Thanks!
