I saw that people reprint their blogs here, and what am I - red? Right now, too, perepechatat. :)
Hot trendsI was interested in the idea that kass.ws. told about. The meaning is that, using the new features of Google (hot trends), you can get a list of hot topics, those that have recently become popular. From this list, it is proposed to select something for which little competition, find an article, rewrite it, add it to a splog and get into the top by request. In general, when I began to do this, I immediately realized that just the most competitive inquiries could not bring any benefit besides harm. I will explain why.
If there is little competition on request, but Google shows a surge in popularity, then this is most likely some kind of glitch, if it were a really popular topic, then there would already be a lot of pages on it, and if there are only a couple of thousand results on request, then a surge popularity is like a dead poultice, there is still no traffic there and is not expected. Also, looking at low-frequency hot trends, I found a bunch of conversations that had already implemented this idea, and Google sysop can do the same. Some of the splogs are by the way quite interesting and well made, for example, this one. True, there is no rewriting of articles, well, I will correct this omission. At the same time wrote the code for posting to the blogger, it turned out that finding a normal human example took quite a lot of time, on Google’s website, where there should be examples of working with a blogger, there is only a PHP5 library that developers are quite aggressively promoting, simply turning off PHP4 support reach out. It would be better if they spent energy on fixing bugs, I tried to run my long scripts (search engine) for PHP5, they die there due to memory leaks in PHP. That is, you can not use it yet. And php5 somehow strangely works with memory, in addition to leaks, for example, unset does not guarantee the release of memory there, which I was very surprised with, that is, in order to port the script to php4 there, in the worst case, you will have to simply rewrite it. Returning to the blogger, in addition to the examples on php5, Google shows a bunch of results on the old disabled api that no longer work. After a long search, the necessary examples were found here. An alternative way is to send posts by mail, but this is not our method.
