Dark SEO Programming
SEO Tools. I code ‘em.

10 bloggers who post real info.

NickyCakes @ NickyCakes.com - The (mostly) reformed blackhat. What does that mean?!? I’m a mostly reformed alcoholic. Is that the same sort of thing? Moeshtly Reformshed, I aaaam. At the very least he’ll rickroll you.

Paul @ UberAffiliate.com - The victim/reason for Nickycakes arguments? Nickycakes and Paul like to act like an arguing married couple on wickedfire.com. The nice guy of affiliate marketing.

Wickedfire.com - Not really a blogger. More like a busy place where affiliate marketers hang out and play pool whilst talking about affiliate tips amonst other things. I’d go there again but I forgot my username and password.

XCMP @ Slightly Shady SEO - Slightly shady? Who is he trying to kid? If he’s slightly shady, what are the shady people doing?

Quadszilla @ SeoBlackhat.com - If websites wore clothes his would have a suit and shades. I wouldn’t want to meet his website in a dark alley. It’s that overpowering blackness, I often feel like I’m going to get sucked into it. Which reminds me of something I’ve always wanted to do. Join a company that does videoconferencing just so I can sit behind the monitor doing the “trapped in a box” impression. You know the one where you put your hands out and look surprised as they hit some kind of force field. Yeah, I’d probably get fired but it’d be worth it.

Eli @ BluehatSeo.com - Apparently black and white isn’t good enough for Eli. He likes to think in (shades of?) blue. Personally I think it’s discriminatory against colour blind people. Come on Eli, these are the days of political correctness.

Ed @ BlackHatDigest.com - This guy’s blog has some golden nuggets in there. He’s labeled it the dark side for newbies.

Smaxor @ OOOFF.com - Smaxor must have fallen asleep on his keyboard only to realise he’d just registered the most random domain name ever. The ensuing moments were probably along the lines of “oh shit, what shall I do with this? Not again.”. So he starts a blog sharing some of his knowledge to the world.

Lyndon @ CornwallSEO.com - Managed to get FOX news to run a fake news story resulting in 1500+ links in a week (recently at 14,000). That doesn’t make FOX a shit news channel though. You only have to read the abuse he got to realise it was Lyndon’s unethical practices that are the issue. No wait… This just in… FOX are in fact… a shit news channel. Funny, but shit.

Harry @ darkseoprogramming.com - Didn’t see this one coming did you ? (So I only had 9 and 10 is a round number… sue me… actually don’t.) Some total moron shares captcha breaking, scraping, and other blackhat seo tools. Also planning to cover some less blackhat seo tools eventually.

Update: I noticed Mark’s comment in the comment box, and I felt bad at all those decent blogs I’ve missed through not remembering. So Mark @ DigeratiMarketing.com posts some damn good shit… and… any blog post that references his site he is amazingly fast at posting to. That bluehatseo.com one he managed to post to first, and that’s a feat. So Mark, forgive me for missing your blog

No more updates, you should have been the first one to say fuck you to me. It won’t work anymore.

Probably some of you do this already. If you run windows it can sometimes be pretty difficult to get all the necessary compilers working together with php, apache and so on. Not only that but if you go and buy yourself a dedicated server it will probably be running linux. It makes a lot of sense to know how to use linux and write software that runs on linux.

So the easiest way, and also the free way is to get yourself these two things:

Guide to installing QEMU

SLAMPP ISO - This is linux on a CD

So basically all you do is follow the guide to installing QEMU, make sure it boots from a CD and point that CD to the SLAMPP ISO. You’ll then instantly have a fully working linux OS set up as a test webserver. Don’t write the ISO to a proper CD except as a backup precaution.

Basically when you have QEMU installed I think you can either use the QEMU manager, or the way I do it in linux .

qemu -cdrom slampp.iso -hda hardisk.img.qcow -m 256 -boot d

You can remove the -hda hardisk… part but then you won’t be able to save any changes to settings you make.
