As most SEOs know, MSN loves the subdomains. You can make hundreds of keyworded subdomains and MSN will think quite highly of the pages. Same goes for blogspot and other blogs – they do very well on MSN and sometimes on Yahoo. Now Google and the new BigDaddy crawler is showing an even more idiotic preference when indexing and ranking subdomains.

Check out this site: search of eiqz2q.org - depending which datacentre you hit, you will see between 3.8 and 5.5 BILLION RESULTS. Even worse… the domain is EIGHTEEN DAYS OLD. That’s right, in under 3 weeks, one person has managed to get one domain 5 billion pages indexed in Google. And they are ranking, too. That particular domain has an Alexa ranking of under 7,000. Another domain owned by the same person, t1ps2see.com, has between 1.7 and 2.4 billion indexed pages and an Alexa ranking of under 2,000… after 4 weeks. Coincidentally, the sites also have 3 blocks of Adsense ads on each page. I wonder how much that one person is earning per day with billions and billions of pages indexed and ranking?

Inspired by his work, I present, The Step-by-Step Guide to Getting Billions of Pages Indexed by Google:•Register a meaningless domain consisting of numbers, letters, and secret symbols. Heck, register a hundred of them.•Setup a server to manage all of your domains and subdomains. It will need to be beefy as you will be serving a lot of traffic in a few days.

•Buy as many article databases as you can. Topic doesn’t matter. You might want to search and replace some i’s and 0’s for corresponding ASCII codes to help you avoid duplicate content.

•Create or buy a common scraper script. You’ll need it to respond with different articles based on what keyword is hit, effectively serving up new content for each subdomain. It should respond to any subdomain query. Your server should be setup to allow all subdomains to be redirected to your main page; there your script sorts out what content to serve. Effectively allowing you to create an infinite number of subdomains with unique content. Now the trick this guy is using involves subdomains of subdomains. So you create a “topical” subdomain such as music.3hid9gw.org and then on that subdomain you create your actual pages of additional sub-subdomains, like: 2152.music.3hid9gw.org. Because each subdomain and each sub-subdomain is considered a new site by Google, you can get past the “1 page indexed per site” delay for new domains. If you don’t get this part, hire someone… according to the Alexa traceback, it looks like Argentina has the right people for the job.

•Launch your blog comment spam attack. Link to some of your subdomains which are also interlinked.

•Wait a few weeks… then sit back and enjoy your billions of indexed pages. Be sure to put 3 Adsense or YPN blocks on each page.

•Want proof? Spammer with Billions of Indexed Pages Moves Traffic

Thanks to Nintendo at DP for pointing out how extensive this network of subdomain spam has become. If there is enough interest shown, I’ll work up a script that would do this and post it for free so we can all enjoy the benefits of subdomain indexing.

UPDATE: This outing made the front page of Digg and del.ici.ous, and is currently the top story at Techmeme and Reddit. Due to the publicity, you can watch the indexed pages of these domains shrink right before your eyes. The current site: count for eiqz2q.org is 700,000,000 down from 5,550,000,000. I assume it will be 0 in a matter of hours. While a hand job will work for now, when will the indexing algorithm be repaired?

Duck and cover! It’s IT Blogwatch, in which black-hat search engine optimizers find a chink in Google’s armor. Not to mention a striped RAID array of floppy disks…

A search engine spammer has managed to get Google to index billions of pages, according to John "Alex/TheHoff" Firmani: "You can make hundreds of keyworded subdomains and MSN will think quite highly of the pages. Same goes for blogspot and other blogs– they do very well on MSN and sometimes on Yahoo. Now Google and the new BigDaddy crawler is showing an even more idiotic preference when indexing and ranking subdomains … eiqz2q.org — depending which datacentre you hit, you will see between 3.8 and 5.5 BILLION RESULTS. Even worse… the domain is EIGHTEEN DAYS OLD. That’s right, in under 3 weeks, one person has managed to get one domain 5 billion pages indexed in Google … Coincidentally, the sites also have 3 blocks of Adsense ads on each page. I wonder how much that one person is earning per day with billions and billions of pages indexed and ranking? … Aren’t you glad that some of your sites … have been de-indexed to make room for this?"

» Ana Aman wants people to stop blaming Google: "they are not perfect but still the best on removing spam sites … of course you would probably expect G to act faster, but I think they want the banning process to be automatically to avoid further spam. If they ban manually, tomorrow 10 others will spam again. Here is a quick explanation on how he did this whole madness [click through to read] Have you noticed anything spectacular? No! Any webmaster with a few programming knowledge can do this… but it will be totally unethical."

» Nicholas Carr muses on the economic incentive to do this: "Loaded with AdSense ads and content swiped from other sites, it has already become one of the web’s top 7,000 sites, as ranked by Alexa … if you have a billion pages (all automatically generated, of course) and each pulls in a penny a year, that would earn you a cool ten million bucks per annum, or about 27 grand per day. It’s not hard to see the incentive, is it?" Zephram Stark comments: "If I don’t find a search result useful, I steer away from it, which tells my Google Personal Search (Beta) that I prefer not to see pages like that. The result is exactly what I want: pages that I find more useful rise to the top on subsequent searches. A similar effect happens to the types of pages I ignore in my search results or manually remove from my search history … With no conscious effort on my part, my search algorithm has customized itself to my preferences. Soon beta testing will be finished, and millions of un-gamable personalized algorithms will figure into the whole. While other search engines are trying to grok how to censor spam-sites, Google has created a system where censorship is unnecessary."

» Zoli Erdos is disappointed to see instructions on how to spam: "Naive me … I thought spammers would prefer to call themselves marketers, and would generally stay away from using the term "spam". Oh, boy, how wrong I am. Some are actually proud of being spammers … Alex, a ‘SEO bloguru’ lays out the easy steps how everyone else can do it … Censorship is bad … yet I am really unhappy to see this" to which Pascal Belloncle responds: "actually think this not such bad thing that the recipe is public. Think about it this way. Instead of having one person doing it, tomorrow, you’ll have a 1000, and next week who knows… And what do you think is going to happen to their income? Yep, that’s right, it is going to decrease to a trickle since there is a finite amount of searches every day, in essence decreasing the incentive to do it, hopefully to the point where they realize it is not worth it"

» Andreas Wacker wacked this out [sorry]: "It’s interesting that all those super smart phd holders at google never built it in a trigger in their code that would check if a domain would go from zero pages to five billion within 3 weeks. Actually a domain growing by 100,000 pages within a month is supicious. Like blogspot ;-)"
