    SpamRank – Fully Automatic Link Spam Detection∗ Work in progress András A. Benczúr1,2 Károly Csalogány1,2 Tamás Sarlós1,2 Máté Uher1 1 Computer and Automation Research Institute, Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA SZTAKI) 11 Lagymanyosi u., H–1111 Budapest, Hungary 2 Eötvös University, Budapest {benczur, cskaresz, stamas, umate}@ilab.sztaki.hu www.ilab.sztaki.hu/websearch Abstract Spammers intend to increase the PageRank of certain spam pages by creating a large number of links pointing to them. We propose a novel method based on the concept of personalized PageRank that detects pages with an undeserved high PageRank value without the need of any kind of white or blacklists or other means of human intervention. We assume that spammed pages have a biased distribution of pages that contribute to the undeserved high PageRank value. We define SpamRank by penalizing pages that originate a suspicious PageRank share and personalizing PageRank on the penalties. Our method is tested on a 31 M page crawl of the .de domain with a manually classified 1000-page stratified random sample with bias towards large PageRank values. 1 Introduction Identifying and preventing spam was cited as one of the top challenges in web search engines in a 2002 paper [24]. Amit Singhal, principal scientist of Google Inc. estimated that the search engine spam industry had a revenue potential of $4.5 billion in year 2004 if they had been able to completely fool all search engines on all commercially viable queries [36]. Due to the large and ever increasing financial gains resulting from high search engine ratings, it is no wonder that a significant amount of human and machine resources are devoted to artificially inflating the rankings of certain web pages.

    SEO - What Are the BIG Things to Get Right? Keyword Research – You Must Focus on What People Search for - Not What You Want Them to Search For

    Search Engine Optimization SEO - What are the BIG things to get right? Keyword Research – you must focus on what people search for - not what you want them to search for. Content – Extremely important - #2. Page Title Tags – Clearly a strong contributor to good rankings - #3 Usability – Obviously search engine robots do not know colors or identify a ‘call to action’ statement (which are both very important to visitors), but they do see broken links, HTML coding errors, contextual links between pages and download times. Links – Numbers are good; but Quality, Authoritative, Relevant links on Keyword-Rich anchor text will provide you the best improvement in your SERP rankings. #1 Keyword Research: The foundation of a SEO campaign is accurate keyword research. When doing keyword research: Speak the user's language! People search for terms like "cheap airline tickets," not "value-priced travel experience." Often, a boring keyword is a known keyword. Supplement brand names with generic terms. Avoid "politically correct" terminology. (example: use ‘blind users’ not ‘visually challenged users’). Favor legacy terms over made-up words, marketese and internal vocabulary. Plural verses singular form of words – search it yourself! Keywords: Use keyword search results to select multi-word keyword phrases for the site. Formulate Meta Keyword tag to focus on these keywords. Google currently ignores the tag as does Bing, however Yahoo still does index the keyword tag despite some press indicating otherwise. I believe it still is important to include one. Why – what better place to document your work and it might just come back into vogue someday. List keywords in order of importance for that given page.

    The Domain Abuse Activity Reporting (DAAR) System

    The DAAR System The Domain Abuse Activity Reporting (DAAR) System David Piscitello, ICANN and Greg Aaron, iThreat Cyber Group Abstract Efforts to study domain name abuse are common today, but these often have one or more limitations. They may only use a statistically valid sampling of the domain name space or use limited sets of domain name abuse (reputation) data. They may concentrate only on a particular security threat, e.g., spam. Notably, few studies collect and retain data over a sufficiently long timeframe to provide opportunities for historical analysis. This paper describes our efforts to collect a large body of domain name registration data, and to complement these data with a large set of reputation data feeds that report and classify multiple security threats. We intend that the resulting data repository will serve as a platform for daily or historical analysis or reporting. Ideally, any findings or reporting derived from our system can be independently validated. We thus use publicly or commercially available data so that the reports or findings from any studies that use our system would be reproducible by any party who collects the same data sets and applies the same processing rules. The long- term objective for our project is that this system will serve the community by establishing a persistent, fact-based repository for ongoing collection, analysis, and reporting.
