I’m not big on CGI, could you possibly translate it into a PHP combatible format? Thanks!

Nice idea but I see too many ways for you to get in legal trouble with this method so I’m not sure I will try it.

Can’t believe I’m backing up Joe Cracker, but black-hat doesn’t mean illegal… it means “unethical”. Now what is “unethical?” I suppose that depends on your own values and that of the industry to which you belong.

Conversely, laws are not issues of ethics. You break them and you pay one way or the other.

The government can make anyone’s life miserable, so follow copyrights & attribute sources. If it’s wikipedia you’re scraping or some other GNU or CC work, it’s easy. For article sites, put a little more work into it and reference the source (author). Then scrape away!

Hay Joe Cracker-
Welcome to the dark side of the web. Black hat stuff it is. Does it involve unethical tactics? you bet your ass it does. If this bothers you then go play somewhere else cause we know what we are doing and we don’t need you to stumble in and start blabbing to us about -hay do you realize this is copyright infringement? fuck yes we realize it but the money is too good to pass up. So as I said, find someone else to bother and get the fuck outa here. If you stick around we will turn you to the dark side. You been warned!!

You ignored the issue regarding copyrights, Eli. I don’t think publishers want you profiteering off their original work without permision. Scraping for content is stealing.

Also, google has duplicant content filters so your scrape content probably won’t rank too well.

I use myspace for indexing purposes… used to monitize it but was asked by my affiliate managers to stop… it works well for indexing though.

Hey today I discovered that in my company there is a big printer that also does scanner-to-email… I can put a big pile of papers in the machine and it will scan everything in less than one minute. With some nice OCR, it would mean a lot of fresh content !

About scraping, indeed the idea is to generate thousands of pages that you can re-use into a website. Every page should have some advertisers in it (affiliates and/or adsense). The idea is to get A LOT of content (like 10000 pages), build a website, get it known by the Search engines (you can use Eli’s QUIT tool ), and wait until search engines discover that you just stole the content, and then they’ll ban your site. It usually takes something between 1-3 months, and meanwhile you’ll have earned money from your advertisers.
Then you repeat the whole procedure.

I’m quite new to the game of scraping but I did one site that make me earn something between $5-$10 a day with 10000 pages, so if you manage to automate things well enough, you may be able to generate enough sites to multiply your income!

And by the way, I’m working on a tool that may let you have a scraped site not being banned so quickly (maybe not at all!) I’m currently testing and refining it, more news about it later !

About Joe cracker, he’s the kind of people who would like to be admired for what he does, so he will just boast and will not understand why people don’t get impressed. On the other hand, someone like Eli just give you real keys to progress, and he deserves to get some admiration !
The myspace technique Joe’s talking about is just the following: Use a myspace bot to add hundreds of friends. Then when you have friends, you can post a “bulletin” which is an announce that will be seen by all your friends. This bulletin will make them go to some affiliate (like a dating service). Again the game numbers is what is important, over thousands of friends, most will ignore your bulletin, but some will not, and you will get money from affiliate commissions.
“clicking on one button” is what Joe meant : let your bot add friends, and then when you have enough friends, post a bulletin going to somewhere that will make you some money.
Then repeat as much as you can.
