Another thing to pay attention to is to REALLY check if the directory uses a direct text link. I've seen some smart directory owners who used a JavaScript mouse over with the site-URL to give the impression of a real direct text-link. When I checked the page source, it was a redirect instead.


Very tricky and shabby method. Don't You think that we could blacklist such places? I know it is kind of advertisement for them but with good (bad) description and with just domain names not links.

Why would someone who runs a directory site use all of these linking/redirecting games instead of just providing basic links? What is the benefit to the site owner?


Usually this kind of dirs are much higher in index. They use Your content to built their position. The terrible thing is, that with 302 redirect, SE can start to treat Your content as theirs. This is, i guess what You call high-jacking. Am I right?

I guess I just don't understand the long-term benefits of this. Are they just out to make a quick buck off some pay listings because of a high page ranking, then fold up shop? Surely they won't stay in business long once it's discovered they are practicing such underhanded tactics...

I just now read through this thread and in the past I have had my front page jacked by a malicious directory and it was very annoying to say the least. But I found a good javascript code which helps prevent this from happening below:

Quote:
<sKript>if(top!=self)
top.location.href = self.location.href </sKript>


Of course, you have to replace the "K" with a "c" in both <sKript> commands and then just copy and paste the script code into the top of the <BODY> section of your front page and any or all other pages on your sites, then your site will be more secure for sure. It may not stop ALL hijacks, but it is a pretty strong script. Check it out! Cool

Nice Smile
But if you are trying to validate page with it, sometimes you are getting error.

will it work this way ?:
Code:

<sKript>if(top!=self)
top.location.href = self.location.href </sKript>


Same rules for "K"

Yeah, I'm sure you did. But, apparently, this forum is blocking the word "s-c-r-i-p-t" so I think if you write it with a "k" like so:

sKript type="text/javasKript"

then it will be posted. Let's see!

Yeah, that's it. And, of course, for security reasons its a good idea to block the word "s-c-r-i-p-t" so you don't have any idiots trying to crack the boards et al. As I'm sure you know, there are many VERY DANGEROUS javaskripts out there and I've seen more then a few forum boards that look alot this one get owned all of a sudden like! "D'OH!"

Cheers! Very Happy
