I see some nice adsense report there also... Viagra's and stuff among quality sites and adsense ads... How nice...
Just shows how low some people will go, and its not even done properly, you can smell the cookies baking before you eat them.
The Dump is a great looking directory; I can understand people adding a link to it. We all like free publicity but those sites suck. Thanks Brian
Is it some sort of joke/scam/attack at the sites listed? I removed the reciprocal form field so people wont even link out of kindness. I definately wouldnt want a backlink from a hell hole like that...
Wierd thing is my bid directory of directories is on there (on some) its almost as though someone has grabbed the listings from the front of another bidding site...
Actually I don't see any of my sites there. If something does happen, I guess I can always report it from the webmaster console. But I'm a little unclear on this doorway, hijacking concept. Any writeups on it with some explanations? I mean I see Some Directories listed with urls pointing to like payday sites and other incorrect stuff. Does that do any damage to a site? If so, does search engines know about this and do they have any countermeasures? Thx for sharing this. I'm going to be looking more into this.
I see it as a concerted effort to harm our colleagues mystikmedia & an0n -- those sites are not definitely pages of a site who would provide valuable resources to its visitors. But they are pages (doorway) so that they can harm others. Shame--Shame - never thought people could stoop to so LOW.
I own the ADsCloud.com domain and I put that site up as a free resource for people to use and get links into their sites. Unfortunately it is abused by spammers and people selling inappropriate things. I don't have the time to moderate it or the ability to change the coding to deny certain listings. That said, If your site is listed there either YOU or someone that knows YOUR site and url listed you. It was not me. Additionally, if you have a request about removing your url please let me know, I will remove it asap. If anyone here would like to modify the code for me it would be greatly appreciated. Or if you would like a free text link to your site without registering or having to link back to my site you can do so at ADsCloud.com
I'm wondering why anyone would start a site like that and then publicly admit that they have a site that is being "abused by spammers and people selling inappropriate things" and further dig the hole by stating "I don't have the time to moderate it..." My favorite - not my fault, will remove upon request, and oh by the way anyone here willing to fix it for me. C'mon dude, get real.
