Very sneaky, but great idea. Has anyone ever been contacted by an owner about removing abandoned content? That sounds like an incredible longshot.

Hi, I’ve been doing this with myspace but now I realise they’re 301 redirecting all outgoing links through msplinks.com.

Is there anyway to get around this or is myspace now dead in the water for this?

Nice thread, but yeah, I think I was too late for this ‘land rush’

um… hi eli.

this is going to be a really, really stupid question and I’m sure you’ll laugh at me for being so clueless, but I figure that it’s worth it if you’ll answer

As the name says… I am completely lost.
What exactly are you suggesting I do? Do the search, find out what x.wordpress.com accounts turn up, register them in my name as x.wordpress.com? And then? Why is this useful, is it because they already turn up in Google? How do I use these sites to my benefit?

Ugh. I am completely clueless, and as I understand these sites have already been retaken by others, but could you please, please explain a bit more?

Am I being naive or will it take a LONG time to recover and post the recovered contents on the blogs? Even if we only had 20 blogs, would you have to check if you could recover the old content(which oftentimes you won’t be able to) and then repost all of it?

I tested on 1 of my wordpress account with 10 blogs on it. I can post it on one blog -let say blog number 1 on that WP account- and try to change the Digg blog setting to post it on my blog number 2. But it failed. The post still appeared on blog number 1. I want to make post on all of my blogs (10) but don’t know how to do it. Can explain your experiences about it? Thank you.

PS: Thanks also for your abandoned WP v.1 post. Got more than 50 logs so far.

To eli, when I create a search query for forums and blogs to
target, I find that using fewer terms yields more results.
Your query above “This user has either cancelled their
membership or their account has been deleted” site:www.myspace.com
-allinurl:index.cfm yields 233 results.

Compare that with these:

Query
Results
Notes

“This
user has either cancelled their membership or their account has been”
site:myspace.com
144

“This
user has either cancelled their membership or their” site:myspace.com

“This

“This

“their membership or” OR “or their account” OR “account has been” OR
“has been deleted” site:myspace.com

Some false positives

“This

“their membership or” OR “or their account” OR “account has been” OR
“has been deleted” site:myspace.com -male -”Profile Views”

Cleaned up false positives

I just have one question, how do I remove the profiles that
are only numbers in excel?

I took the spam choice with this and registered a load of wordpress blogs and then farmed them.

Kind of wish I had done part 2 now and benefited from it! - ah well better luck next time I guess

Eli, I found a site similiar to abandoned wordpress accounts.. Right now it has 1,700,000 pages in google, all seperate accounts. I checked most of the first page sites.. all PR 5 or 4.

I have one set back though. I dunno what to do. I would like your help… (I am not that stupid, but this one is a little tricky…) Shoot me up an email if you would like to help/share this resource.

I find when I try to blog it in Digg it nearly always blogs it to the wrong blog. Am I doing it wrong? It list my WP blogs and I change it to the one I want and it almost always blogs to another one from the list.

Yep, my brain went back to work as soon as I sent that off. For whatever reason, I’m using the catch all rather than a bogus email addy.

And I came up with yet another thought on this: It seems as if many pr4 and 5’s have already been snagged (although I managed to grab some..heh heh) but it also seems that the ones that ARE taken are practically abandoned anyway. Why not just put a comment in there profile with a nice link to your site(s)?
