You Might Get Banned By Google If You Use Network Solutions...

    Does anyone remember that uber thread from a couple of years ago started by Nintendo?

    It was someone using wildcard subdomains to generate massive amounts of links, and get billions of pages indexed in a very short time. Bottom line is that Google started banning sites that gained too many subdomains too quickly in order to stem it.

    Now it looks like Network Solutions, the same people who were exposed for Domain Tasting earlier this year, are now hijacking unused subdomains in order to display their own ad network. This is exactly the kind of thing that can harm your sites rankings in Google.

    Anyone here still using them?

    -Michael

    PS: please don't reply to the Nintendo thread above, it's 2 years old guys.

    Does anyone else here have any domains hosted with them that can confirm this? Sounds like it would be illegal to me.
