How to spam forums

No comment - Post a comment (nofollow disabled)

Compare this from EduPhil.org:

and this, from Leonidas.phpbbnow.com:


They look similar, right? In fact, the one from leonidas.phpbbnow.com is a verbatim copy of SheMi's post at EduPhil.org.

Here's an algorithm to use in spamming forums:

1. Identify forums to get posts from.
2. From those identified forums, identify users. This must be done manually, and will require looking up some posts of certain users - disregard users which look like spam accounts.
3. Look for threads started by an identified user. Copy the first post from that thread.
4. Add your own spam to the message.
5. Post the message to another forum.

How to trace what's being copied from one's site

No comment - Post a comment (nofollow disabled)

I just discovered the tool Tynt Insight, which allows me to track what's being copied from my sites. I've just installed it at EduPhil.org, and would be interested in seeing the reports later.

In just a few seconds, I knew that someone copied the text on the legal bases of Philippine education, which appears to be on the top results from Google. Exciting!

Blair and Robertson's The Philippine Islands (or, create it and forget it site)

No comment - Post a comment (nofollow disabled)

I created the site Primary Sources in Philippine History about two years ago, when I had a lot more time in my hands and too little to do ;)

I am happy to take note that some people are finding value in the site, specifically, this table of contents for Blair and Robertson's monumental The Philippine Islands series.
