Did you run upgrade.php?

ongakukaku, if you’re so proud of your table-based design, why not give us a link so we can check it out?

I bet it’s related to the Google Web Accelerator. Were any of you using that?

You’re exactly right, Pauls. It’s sad that these people feel they have to fill up the web with this crap, but it’s also a little funny that in doing so they (1) don’t make much money, (2) ruin their reputation, and (3) provide nothing of value to anybody. They could make much more money in a fraction of the time by researching and writing quality, focused articles for a legitimate niche blog.

Looks like your validation problems are all or nearly all caused by unescaped & in the javascript. See this thread on fixing the problem.

Edit 2: Just to remove any doubt that xdhirax is a spammer and trying to construct a link farm, here are two more links: (1) Dhira participating in a thread about various link farm generators, including Blogging Equalizer; and (2) Dhira participating in a thread about using WordPress to set up an site for the sole purpose of generating ad dollars.

My concern is that you are a spammer. Read the above.

Edit: Now I see that you have an online book on “internet marketing” which includes a section on “SEO Linking, & Promotion,” so don’t give me that bullshit about not knowing what a linkfarm is.

I understand exactly what you meant to do. I think you do not understand what I mean.

I can see the url you listed, along with several other very similar urls in this directory. The other files in that directory indicate that whoever set up that site created a linkfarm using Traffic Hurricane, software designed to automatically do exactly that. I can only assume that you are the one that set it up, since the whois info points to you. The cheap domain name website is clearly a link farm, and it appears that you are using WordPress to create a second linkfarm to link to the first. More information on link farms is available at Wikipedia.

Please read this. The WordPress community does not support spammers.

What I mean is that you’ve got nearly 1000 entries, all with junk content, all linking to the same url in a “cheap domain name” linkfarm. Why? Is there some legitimate reason for doing this? Because I can’t see one.

There are two disadvantages that I can think of:

(1) You aren’t making backups before editing the files. If you don’t have backups, it’s going to be hard to undo changes, unless you keep a detailed log of the the changes you make.

(2) A text editor designed for coding will give you handy features like auto-indenting, syntax highlighting, and line numbers. I like Crimson Editor, myself, which also has a built in ftp utility for remotely opening and saving files.

I bet it’s in your footer template, look there.

What’s up with your blog entries? You’ve got 911 entries all linking to the same “cheap hosting” domain, but the specific url you link to is 404’d? Looks like a linkfarm to me.

You can use .htaccess to redirect traffic to your placeholder while you work on your production platform.
