Mini News Update 1

 

http://i52.tinypic.com/117xyev.png

12 hours of data collection.

 

Its become apparent that a great deal of our hits and/or bandwidth theft is coming from search engines. We also had some blackhat SEO bot, that just crawled 7,000 pages in 12 hours (MJ12 Bot) . That bot has been banned, and we should all apologize to fattwam for the actions of this bot. We were also "cloaking" our forums which I did not know was a blackhat SEO technique.

 

Basically, in a nutshell. You provide the search engines with a different view than a regular guest would encounter. That was true for us. I removed lots of irrelevant information to allow the search engine to only get the content of the post. It was quicker that way and it prevented the bot from hitting our main page. That is called "cloaking" and prevents good placement on search engines. Hopefully, with this small change we can begin to climb the ladder of Google/Bing/Yahoo.

The last day of this year falls on a Friday. I don't know about you guys, but I don't plan on spending much time on iBot on the last day of 2010. Maybe if it was 4 years ago and we were successful, I'd be, but I'm not.

 

Point being. Our options

 

 

1.If a Title Update for Halo Reach is announced prior to December 31st, we will await that TU and live on.

2.December 31st hits w/ no TU. Site put into Read Only state.

3.We hit an abnormal boost of traffic and live on.

4.We expand our forum and maybe take a new grasp on online forums. Open for suggestions, and live on.

5.I sell the site for 2000$ USD to the highest bidder.

6.Redirect site to a different modding site to move the remaining traffic elsewhere

7.Give the site to Fattwam, and he does what he wants.

 

Super secret message here...

 

I don't want to pick any of these options on the 31st, because I'll more than likely be busy. The decision will probably be made towards the 3rd or 4th. Depending on my time.

nooooo i would be sad to see this site go i was here when it all started back in the golden age of halo 2 when new mods were arriving daily! Who would have thought that after all the rival sites and hacks against us we would be killed off by lack of interest.

Perhaps we should move to porn i here there are still plenty off traffic to be had there!

then we could sue the users who dont pay like the rest of the porn industry!

Hmm Porn site you say ?

Maybe if i get the site i will put it on a nice offshore host and load it up with auto posting bot that would just post porn from all other top sites and we would have a HUGE porn data base lmao.

Or a warez site they always are successful.

Like you even have $500, and like Peaches would ever even consider selling to you...

I only have $38000 saved.

 

I can only spend $3000 of it though.

 

And if there are no other bids I don't think he has any other options. Thats how an auction works.

Not really, if he doesn't think you are responsible enough (which you aren't), he can go to the next highest bidder.
