Hidden text detection, baby

Hi Aaron – take a look at http://groups.google.com/group/Google_Webmaster_Help-Indexing/browse_thread/thread/3f3ef314fbe61828/ and open all the “show quoted text” boxes. Requoting webado’s Xenu output really pushes your count up . Somehow I don’t think that number makes too much sense like that, I’ll try to get the hidden references removed and see what I come up with.

Thanks John, I can see why Google likes you, you are more of a snoop into user data than anyone. Love this blog, do not forget about posting as much information to it as your new job allows!

Hi Aaron, the domain counts are by “mention”, in other words, if a post has it 10x, it will count 10x, if the same post is repeated (ie replied to without removing the original post), it will count again. I’d have to dig to see which posts it’s counting, but that would mean doing work . I’ll try to get it in, but can’t make any promises..

Oh yeah, #21 er that one is just bugging the @%#@%$ out of me!

Wait a minute here… that’s my site, why does ne-design.net = 583 of the top linked domains?

Please explain, thanks…

Thanks for reminding us how much time we waste guessing what Google is and isn’t doing in groups.

Richard, it’s a shame you won’t be participating any more, your practical experience is invaluable.

I like the pre-filled out captcha, keeps my brain dormant.

LOL, some CAPTCHA

By: John

John — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 22:09:24 +0000

Hmm, too late at night for me to fix what I noticed is wrong (the page is expired) so I added some javascript to fill out the captcha for you (+ a warning below the box). Automated captcha, I guess it should still protect against most scripted attacks, heh.
