The "arms race" between the search engines and the spammers continues – interesting approach using subdomains to get over a billion pages indexed in Google in less than a month. Original DP thread is here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=97090 and it made front page of DIGG at http://digg.com/technology/How_One_Spammer_Got_BILLIONS_of_Pages_into_Google_in_3_Weeks

Now just imagine someone doing this with thousands of domains – what a mess for the Search Engines to try to sort out!

I wonder from where he linked his new sub-domains? Was it a high-PR site?
Or did he just submit them official with Google?

I just realized it's the same guy Ionut reported on earlier. (See http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2006-06-17.html#n90)

eiqz2q.org forwards to t1ps2see.com,

Google search with millions of indexed documents:

I saw your previous forum post, but didn't make the connection – sorry 'bout that. Some of the chatter in the forums implies he ranks fairly well for some terms, so must have had some page rank tossed at him. Funky stuff – will be interesting to see how the big "G" handles this one.

Strange. I found the site when I searched for "* *" to see if it still works. Most sites from the first page were from these sites.

It seems that t1ps2see.com is owned by a Romanian.

There are a lot of search queries that trigger these sites (like grill steak cooking)

doing a site search for eiqz2q.org or t1ps2see.com doesn't bring any thing up for me... did google remove it already???

Looks like that's a yes. Google removed it all.
"* *" won't work for me. :(
