			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Checking email for this site today I ran across this email from Google Search Quality.  At first I thought it was a spam seeing as it was filled with crap about viagra &#038; calliass but was shocked to find that this crap WAS on this blog.  Well it seems an older version of Wordpress that I was running has a venerability allowing someone to update your theme files and post all sorts of CRAP into it with links leading back to thier spammy sites. Some one did this since I am a lazy sysadmin and didn&#8217;t update wordpress.  Broke rule number 2 on the Google webmaster security check list&#8230;</p>
<p>Shame on me&#8230; </p>
<p>Dear site owner or webmaster of rss-spider.com/blog,</p>
<p>While we were indexing your webpages, we detected that some of your pages were using techniques that are outside our quality guidelines, which can be found here: http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html.  This appears to be because your site has been modified by a third party. Typically, the offending party gains access to an insecure directory that has open permissions. Many times, they will upload files or modify existing ones, which then show up as spam in our index.<br />
<span id="more-28"></span><br />
The following is some example hidden text we found at http://rss-spider.com/blog/:</p>
<p> How much weight will you lose on phentermine Drug screening phentermine Phentermine and pregnancy Pay pal phentermine 5 mg Appetite suppressants and phentermine Phentermine alternative Phentermine<br />
 [... snip ...]</p>
<p>In order to preserve the quality of our search engine, we have temporarily removed some of your webpages from our search results. Currently pages from rss-spider.com/blog are scheduled to be removed for at least 30 days.</p>
<p>We would prefer to have your pages in Google&#8217;s index. If you wish to be reconsidered, please correct or remove all pages (may not be limited to the examples provided) that are outside our quality guidelines. One potential remedy is to contact your web host technical support for assistance. For more information about security for webmasters, see http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2007/09/quick-security-checklist-for-webmasters.html. </p>
<p>When you are ready, please visit https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/reinclusion?hl=en to learn more and submit your site for reconsideration.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
Google Search Quality Team</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This step by step comes from <a href="http://DesignWorldOnline.com">Design World Online</a> and is reprinted with permission.

<span style="font-weight: bold">FEED / BLOG CREATION</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">STEP 1. Find Service or Application</span><br />
Design World recommends TypePad (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.typepad.com">www.typepad.com</a>). It is very easy to set up a free 30-day trial and get started with your communication. If getting your IT department involved is required, you can even point these services to your own domain for seamless integration.  If you have a Web site, blog, audio/video content or even photos, you can offer a feed of your content as an option. If you are using a popular blogging platform or publishing tool like TypePad, Wordpress or Blogger, you likely publish a feed automatically. There are also tools on the market that can help transform traditional web content into the right format for distribution. Simply creating an XML version of your content allows Aggregators the ability to read, but this entails some knowledge of XML syntax. Another method is PC-based software that allows blogging with associated feeds to be automatically published to a specific website location.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">STEP 2. Enter Data</span><br />
The more frequent the better! Your readers and search engines like constantly updated content.<br />
<br style="font-weight: bold" /><span style="font-weight: bold">STEP 3. (Optional) Enhance your Feed</span><br />
There are services like FeedBurner (<a href="http://www.feedburner.com">www.feedburner.com</a>) that allow you to track statistics on your feed that include subscribers, hits and other good stuff.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">STEP 4. Required! Tell us about your Feed*</span><br />
Once your up and running, go to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.rss-spider.com/fsb.php"><span style="font-weight: bold">http://www.rss-spider.com/fsb.php</span></a> and submit your feed address so we can subscribe to your feed and keep apprised of your news automatically. You post and we redistribute immediately. You gain the exposure of the RSS-Spider with no hassle.</p>
<p>* Edited out Design World&#8217;s email address since 99.999% of user submitted feeds have no relation to design engineering.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a recent post on DIGG.com I read about a study where someone figured out that about 75% of all blogs being hosted at BlogSpot where spam blogs.  You can read the article at : <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.infoniac.com/hi-tech/google-blogs-spam.html">http://www.infoniac.com/hi-tech/google-blogs-spam.html</a> Anyhow&#8230; it got me to thinking&#8230; we&#8217;ve put a few things in to block spammers on this site, however, since we&#8217;re pulling in RSS feeds from all around the web, how many <strong>splogs</strong> have we indexed?  Ugh&#8230; what a mess.  Searching for &#8220;debt reduction&#8221; came back with 1000+ results instantly and most of them were within 3 days old.  1000 by the way is the ceiling of results that Sphinx is setup to return.  Searching for &#8220;credit-card-debt&#8221; came up with the same results.  So I&#8217;ve decided that Blogspot and all the other domains listed in the article above are going to be put on the &#8220;no spider&#8221; list &#038; ban list effective Monday 4/9.</p>
