Full report over @ beeb but is google msn etc.. Going to do anything about it ?

Most fraud is via phishing email so google/msn can’t do anything about that but serp warning and toolbar would be great

 IE7 now has a phishing site alerts which is a step in the right direction..

 This quote is one of the most BS

Rob Gruppetta, of the FSA’s financial crime team, said “phishing” was growing rapidly in the UK.

“We are very concerned about the rate of increase. It has gone up by 8,000% in the past two years.

“But in the grand scheme of total fraud it is still quite small.”

As is soon crimbo and the snow is going to cover the land last start a blog on “foot prints” in the snow..

So in regards to seo, rss, BH and alike what is a foot print.. Well its something left by and application.. The web application used for this blog is word press which has 100’s and foot prints identifying as wordpress.. Not just the link to wp at the bottom but meta info and just folder/code formation…

Any here is a example of one I’ve come across today..

This a script that produces so called “portals” .. I’ve seen the style (application) of these sites submitted to my directories 1,000’s of times..

So for this one you can use the following query..

Click here

The query is from the homepage of seo script.. Thus leaving a foot print in the snow…

Google and alike have some nifty tool from foot print tracking and its a subject I’m going to expand on in the future..

..

So how many search engines can you spot ..

Yahoo is the worst search engine 4

msn is the worst search engine 4

ask is the worst search engine 7

A New Operator

We have one new, very exciting operator: LinkFromDomain. Using LinkFromDomain in your search includes all sites that are linked from a given domain. This complements LinkDomain (which includes all sites that link to a given domain) that was introduced back in June, 05.

The visual below depicts “YourSite.com” and a set of related sites. The Blue nodes represent sites with reciprocal links, while the yellow nodes are sites you link to, and the green nodes sites that link to you. Here’s how you would capture these domains with advanced syntax:
