FrontPage Guestbook, Board, Forms spam

Submitted by chris on April 2, 2006 - 22:54

The main raison for people spamming your FrontPage Guestbook, Forum/Board or forms is that the search engine Google, counts every "back link" (i.e. link pointing to these SPAM sites) as a positive vote. So if they can get a link to their site on your Guestbook, Google will interpret this as an "endorsement" of their site and give then additional "importance".

This spamming activity is especially common nowadays since they are thousands of automated scripts looking for FrontPage (or not, they will try to spam anything really...) guestbooks, boards, or forms to post SPAM links.

eAccelerator

Submitted by chris on January 15, 2006 - 17:29

We have been using this PHP accelerator (0.9.X), on multiple servers, for a long time. It's used on some high traffic sites without any problem.

Install:
a) Download a copy of eAccelerator that is compatible with your version of PHP.
This can be an issue with eAccelerator. Sometimes it can take a little time before the Windows binaries are available for the most recent version of PHP.
