SEO From the Dark Side

So what exactly does it do beside sitting in your blog’s footer?

Sorry if it’s not so obvious to me.

Answer: “A simple, little hack to get reciprocal links to all your blog pages via XSS link-injection.”

Sorry for my noob
I got this error, placed the code on my footer

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘

Interesting. I’ll check it out. Thanks.

Hi Brad,
thx for the trick:D
Does it work only with WP or can i use it with joomla to( marvelous for white seo with hacks)

I too get a parse error as well. I also placed it in my footer.php. Any help here for this?

I’m guessing that some characters were mangled during cutting and pasting this snippet. I ran the code thru an online syntax checker and its not fond of the “‘ near the end of the snippet. Of course, I’m not that certain what I just typed will show up properly either.

Dave, yep! I’ve zipped it in a text file, above.

Much thanks Brad for the correction!

A couple of interesting things though. I thought it best for testing purposes to fool around with this by editing single.php on a very lightly trafficked blog of mine.

First off, in Firefox this appears to render differently. In Ff you do not get a live link at the bottom of the post. What is actually seen is this:

one of these guys: ‘
then a “close tag” symbol, which I can’t type
and the word “link”, without the quotes

And the word “link” is not clickable.

In IE7, this renders the same way, BUT all of those characters are clickable. Ff tries hard to let you know what is going wrong if you View Source.

I guess clicking this is supposed to generate a permanent link in the target page’s acronym list, but I didn’t see that happen.

Dave, it works fine in IE and FF. Click ‘link’ top right of this blog, for an example.

the tips works nice now but it seems the .gouv website is down…
How make it work with another TR juicy website?:)

it works with this website! ;D

ID) . “>” . $post->post_title . “‘>link“; ?>

@ Dave - At first I had the same prob as you and couldn’t work out what was wrong. Then I changed the last part of the code and replaced this part

post_title . “‘>link“; ?>

Change the last part of your code with the above - it worked for me.

I added this to my sidebar - when I view the home page of my blog where it shows all of the posts together the code just displays the word LINK and is not clickable but whe n I view the actual post the word LINK becomes clickable.

@Brad - I have one question (which prob sounds real noob) When I follow the link from my blog post to the .gov site I see it has indeed injected text on to their page but that text isn’t clickable. Is that the right or should that text be a hyperlink?
