Page 4 – Bot Herders Use SE for Massive Search Spam
SE Chat – Dec 10, 2007
When the Google bot arrives to crawl a splog "a mod_rewrite directive matches the user agent and sends the notorious Wordpress error page (other types of error pages are possible too). " The spider will then associate the splog with pages that contain that particular failure. "This means that if your website happens to display the Wordpress No Database Connectivity page" when it is crawled "users who try to reach you through Google will get a poisoned result set. " This works because Google only cares about content and automated computer searches still have problems with meaning. What I’ve just described in short is another way for keywords to be hijacked. It uses a technique that is different from the botnet but the result is similar: a page gets a spot in the SERPs that it doesn’t deserve. These tricks and others are becoming more common; even Al Gore isn’t immune to them as he discovered recently when his blog was actually hacked to show search engine spiders tons of links to pharmaceutical sites.

How GK messed up the Aetas of Sitio Target
Manila Times – Dec 10, 2007
In the previous part Perez explained how Gawad Kalinga program failed to consider cultural factors in helping an indigenous community in Sitio Target in Mabalacat Pampanga. Last of two parts It is my opinion that in Sitio Target Gawad Kalinga has been irresponsible. I will always applaud them for their success in the urban areas but I beg to caution them when it comes to working with indigenous people. I am glad that the GK operation in Sitio Target has been halted because further incursions into the community will be disastrous. A Korean spa has already been built in the area and two Aetas killed each other because of some embezzlement issue.
