Newsgroups: alt.2600 Subject: Wrathing a Webpage From: archangl@l0pht.com Date: Fri, 24 Apr 1998 23:47:00 -0600 So you want to get your page to the top of the search engines, eh? This bit of destruction is called "Wrathing a web page". This is a really mean and nasty trick that you could use, assuming of course that you are evil, and have no regard at all for the hard work of another... In all likelyhood, this is illegal. At Archangel systems, we've done this a number of times for close friends who were being unfairly attacked by competitors. 1. Go to your favorite search engine and type in the keywords that you would like to have point to your page. 2. Grab the top page, (the #1 position) and save it to your disk, and/or upload it to your site, under the name of YOUR webpage. 3. Use a multi submitter to submit your pirated webpage to all of the search engines. 4. Wait for your pirated page to appear, tied for the number one position in the search. There should be two identical pages, the original and your copied, pirated page which is addressed and named for the page that you are trying to get into the #1 position. This is how the submission engines handle identical pages with different addresses. 5. Attack the origional site holding the original copy of the page. It doesn't matter how, ping it, whatever. You need to have the site down for a few hours. 6. Use your submission software to re-submit the ORIGIONAL PAGE, when the submission engine attempts to verify it's existance, the site will be down, and the submission engine will remove the site from the database. 7. Your copied, pirated page should now be alone in the number one slot. You may now upload your desired page to your server, overwriting the pirated/copied page. The search engine will now point to your website, and it will be in the number one position. 8. If you can afford to, leave the pirated page up as long as you can. Some search engines will come back and re-check your page after a week. It won't bring your competitor back, he's history, but if the page has changed, the engine will put you where you belong. Most engines do not re-check, but remember, some do. The defense? You should be re-submitting your site monthly anyway. Program your bots to resubmit the site when hits drop, and when the server is down for more than an hour. This was previously posted by me in alt.2600.archangel previously.
