Blackhat SEO Tools & Scripts – The Digerati Blackbox
buenos dias, friends!
I’ve put together a little treat for all of you budding and new blackhats out there. I got quite annoyed this week with the whitehattards on Sphinn.
Those of you who actually know me, will know I believe whitehat stuff is very important to building a web business. However, I also believe there is strong case for at least experimenting with gray/blackhat (whatever you want to call it). There are some markets you literally cannot touch without getting off your rainbow shitting whitehat unicorn of light. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of, erm, “dedicated” whitehats out there that refuse to even learn what blackhat is. I’d like to take this opportunity to shed some myths (AKA venting) about blackhat. For those of you who don’t enjoy reading pissed off (I believe the whitehat word for pissed is “snarky” – Thanks Matt.C), feel free to skip down the page to the goodies.
Things that whitehattards believe to be true:
1. That “on page” SEO is some uber-skill which takes years to learn.
False. If you actually get a good web developer, the chances are he (or she!) will make a decent crawable website. You might be able to help them out with some keyword research to help target title/header tags, or give them a little advice on PR sculpting for large sites with nofollow. Good internal linking structures are pretty commonly well known – at least with the web developers I know. If any pure whitehat starts talking about precise keyword density, just laugh in their face.
2. The main thing about SEO is creating good content.
Good content gets links, yes. Well done. Why are you doing SEO when so many crimes are going unsolved around the world? Good content is important for whitehat site, yes. However, good content is not bloody SEO! How do I know this? Would you bother writing good content if search engines didn’t exist? Yes, you would. Therefore it is actually a component of web design, not SEO!
3. There’s no point in blackhat, you’ll just get banned.
This little corker comes from two types of people, normally from people who have never tried blackhat (glad they’re qualified to comment, why not go give a lecture on brain surgery while you’re at it). Or, secondly, people who have tried some very, very, basic blackhat and done it badly and left footprints like a crack-addicted yeti storming around the web. I know of many blackhat sites that have enjoyed top positions for years without getting caught for competitive key phrases those whitehats couldn’t touch with a NASA sized hard drive full of great content.
4. I’m a good whitehat SEO because “I know” where to get links from
Aww now, c’mon. Not really a “core” SEO skill is it? I’ll give it to you, that it helps. I think what you’re trying to say is “I understand how the web works and where it is possible to drop links” or “I use social news/community sites”. I know people who have never built a link in their life and would make great whitehat SEO link builders because they spend ages writing content for blogs and taking part in Digg, Reddit, Stumble, blaahh, blahhh. At best, it’s a transferable skill.
5. Blackhat SEOs only resort to blackhat because they can’t produce good websites
This one (which I saw several times on Sphinn), just leaves my jaw dropped. Generally, blackhats are far more accomplished programmers than whitehats and can build much cleaner and more efficient websites (and a lot do) if they wish. The fact is, by scripts and automation they’ve found a way to make a decent income without burning the midnight oil writing content about their new “diamond goat hoof jewellery” niche they’ve found. This comment normally comes from whitehats who wouldn’t know a blackhat if they spammed them in the face.
There is however, advanced white hat SEO, as Eli kindly demonstrates in his painfully bastardish always right way.
Ahem. Anyway…..
The Digerati Blackbox
So, I’ve collected together a set of tools, scripts, databases and tutorials which will help the beginner blackhat find their feet. Some of the stuff is pretty good, albeit fairly basic. You should be able to make something decent if you combine some of these scripts, or strip out some of the code into your own creations.
Blackbox Contents:
Cloaking & Content Generation:
cloakgen1.zip:
This is a cloak / dynamic content generation script. To use it you simply add a small piece of code to the top of each page you wish to be cloaked. When someone accesses your page then cloakgen is run and if the user-agent suggests the visitor is a standard user then they are simply shown your standard page. However if the user-agent suggests that the visitor is a search engine then it will start doing the business. It will start by finding out what page called it, then it will open this page and find out what the most common words on the page are. Once it has worked this out then it will scrape some content about that word from wikipedia and add it with your normal page content. Each keyword will be emphasised in a random way. For example the keyword could be bold or red font etc. The final page will be output in the following way:
Title of the page in capital letters
Large title at the top of the page
Content of the website with emphasization and wiki content
padkit.zip:
PAD is the Portable Application Description, and it helps authors provide product descriptions and specifications to online sources in a standard way, using a standard data format that will allow webmasters and program librarians to automate program listings. PAD saves time for both authors and webmasters. This is what you want to use with the below databases.
yacg.zip:
You should have heard of Yet Another Content Generator (YACG). It’s a beautifully easy way to get websites up and running in minutes with mashed up scraped content.
Databases:
articles.zip:
A database of 23,770 different articles on a variety of topics.
bashquotes.zip:
This is a database of every quote on Bash.org. This huge Database has every single quote as of May 1st, 2007!
KJV_bible.zip:
The whole thing King James Bible – Old & New Testament.
medical_dictionary.sql.zip:
Over 130,000 rows of medical A-Z
Keyword Scripts:
ask-single-keyword-scraper.zip:
This script allows you to scrape a range of similar keywords to your original keyword from Ask.com.
google-single-keyword-scraper.zip:
This script will take a base keyword and then scrape similar keywords from google.
msn-live-api-scraper.zip:
This script uses php cURL to scrape search results from the MSN LIVE Search API.
overture-single-keyword-scraper.zip
Enter one base keyword and scrape similar keywords from overture.
Linkbuilding Scripts:
dity.zip:
A very easy to use (and old) multi guestbook spammer.
logscraper.zip:
Nifty little internal linker (read more about it here)
trackback.zip
Very powerful trackback poster. Trackback Solution is 100% multithreaded and very efficient at automatically locating and posting trackback links on blogs.
xml-feed-link-builder-z.zip
Very nice script to generate links from to your site from people scraping RSS.
Misc Scripts:
alexa-rank-cheater1.zip:
Automate the false increase of your Alexa rating/rank.
typo-generator-esruns.zip:
Create typos of a competitive keyword and rank easy!
Scraping:
feedwordpress.0.993.zip:
Wordpress plugin that makes scraping the easiest thing in the world.
Proxies:
proxy_url_maker.zip:
Create a list of web proxy URLs used for negative seo purposes or spam
proxygrabber.zip:
A script to download proxies from the samair proxy list site.
CAPTCHAs:
delicious.zip:
Delicious CAPTCHA broken. In Python.
smfcaptchacrack.zip:
Simple machines forums captcha breaker compiled and designed to run on Linux but portable to Windows.
Tutorials:
curl_multi_example.zip:
What it says on the tin. Examples of m-m-m-multi curl!
superbasiccurl.zip:
4 super basic tutorials on using curl/regex.
I’d like to give special thanks to all donators and people who included their stuff here:
Steve – For the majority of scripting here.
Rob – For the databases
Eli – For delicious CAPTCHA breaker
Rob – For trackback magic
Harry – For proxygrabber/linux captcha scripts
Here it is:

So don’t ask me how to use them, check out the respective author’s website if you get stuck. Obviously Digerati Marketing Ltd, I, my dog, or anyone else cannot be held responsible for any type of loss or damages of any kind (even an act of God Google) if you choose to use them.

As with anything, its all what you do with the knowledge you gain.
I don’t see any issue with learning black hat techniques.. I have no clue about this stuff, but I can see how it will let me get behind the scenes and have a better perspective.
That way I can target my efforts with more success.
Great Post.
And great sarcasm.

“Phew, that’ll about do it. I have to say, I am in agreement with Quadzilla that there’s no such thing as advanced whitehat SEO. In the purist sense at least.”
Thats a bold statement
I may just have to prove that wrong.
Comment by Eli

Advanced whitehat SEO? Sure there is. Anything (I guess) has “levels” and some whitehats are more advanced than others. But then again, is it not true that some things which were once considered blackhat are now accepted as whitehat? *Is* there such a thing as pure whitehat? Is it possible to beat blackhat with whitehat? Is my 7th-level mage better than your 5th-level orc? Is there a point to this?

Tbh if any so called SEOs can’t find these tools themselves then they need to start with the basics of learning to use a search engine rather than trying to promote content through one.

Damn that’s a bunch of stuff. Thanks. Going to go play a little. Black is the absence of all light, so there is no such thing as a black hat seo, just really dark gray.
