 * I’ve seen this URL in my referrers a couple of times recently, and I’m mildly
   curious about it:
 * [http://wpblackhat.com/commenter/modifiedblog.html#respond](http://wpblackhat.com/commenter/modifiedblog.html#respond)
 * Anyone familiar with this site, or what it might be doing? It’s some sort of 
   membership based site, so I can’t view the referring page. I can’t find much 
   on Google either, but it looks like it might be pulling content to fill space
   on spam blogs. If that’s all it is, it’s kind of inoccuous I guess, I’m just 
   hoping there’s nothing more “Black Hat” -ish I should be worried about.

 * All you have to do is go to the main page for WordPress Blackhat and see what
   they say about it themselves:
 * > We don’t claim to have re-invented the wheel like others, but we have definitely
   > made it much simpler and quicker to make hundreds of dollars a day with WordPress
   > blogs.
   > Discover this cutting-edge way to make money by simply entering your name and

   > for obvious reasons, we have limited the number of copies available.)
 * If you do a [Google search](http://www.google.com/search?q=WordPress+Blackhat&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a)
   on **WordPress Blackhat**, you’ll find a link to a blog post on a website called**
   Content Generation Engine, Blackhat Innovation** dated 11/7/2008 that talks in
   a bit more detail about what WordPress Blackhat is (2nd result):
 * > WordPress Blackhat is the easiest and most effective way to make money from
   > WordPress blogs – there’s no easier way; I can guarantee you that! **You can
   > use this system to create 500 to 1000 page blogs in minutes**. They have link-
   > building tools to get these blog indexed and making money very quickly!
 * They are providing a blog-scraping technique, which is set to grab 500-1000 legitimate
   blog articles from other blogs, publish them to their “monetized” blog, and grab
   the revenue it generates.
 * It’s not innocuous by any means – it’s copyright infringement and content theft,
   with the sole purpose of making money off other bloggers’ articles, and use WordPress
   as the platform to do it.
 * Just read some of the links in the sidebar on the Content Generation Engine website
   under Current Posts and you can see exactly what these people are all about –
   link-spamming, link cloaking, etc.
 * (I purposely did not link to the websites as I don’t want to give them any Google“
   goodness”. The links are easy enough to type into your browser address bar yourself,
   or click it from Google.)

 * Although clearly about “black-hat” internet marketing (and whether that’s god/
   bad/ugly is up to you), wpblackhat’s system does not involve blog scraping as
   it generates content from a large library of PLR articles, which means from the
   generated content perspective, it is not breaching any copyright. Just thought
   I would make a correction of kpdesign’s assumption.
