It also took a very very long time before google took any action at all on Traffic Power and the Traffic Power case is far different than this one, I don’t think the two situations can be compared.

I know that from speaking to Andrew Beveridge of eCOGRA last week, that John Anderson is not happy. John has also informed Andrew that 888 have addressed these issues. We certainly are seeing a lot less scraper sites promoting 888 in the recent weeks.

Well from where I sit, I am still seeing a LOT of 888 scraper sites… If he is going to put a stop to all this it
would be nice if he made it public.

These sites are not scraping our sites, indeed the source code on the sites that redirect to veryfastsearch appear to be scraping the results from google, which include our site’s description – this in turn providing us with a backlink.

I can see no benefit and no backlink that will count in google on these pages. Make no mistake, this may look like a crude attack, but someone has spent money and time to generate this crap… considering this attack as a ‘crude’ and harmless attempt would be very misguided IMO.

Another thing we have to take on board is that a competent blackhat can throw up to 4000 new sites a day. Utilising many scripts and utilities readily available.

Now why would you want to fight fire with fire? Everything gets burned that way…

Anyway, I think if your wanting to go down that path, a cracker with an army of zombies would be a way more effective tool…IMO.
