One way to defeat a web page's ability to attain high rank in a search engine is by filling it
with gibberish words and links, especially so with porn keywords.
Someone posted 5,000 links from gibberish words and spam keywords like "sex" and "pornosexo" etc.
This type of assault appears intended to lower the rank of the CREW website by making it appear to be a porn portal.

Help CREW overcome the attacks they are subjected to:

BREAKING: CREW files Ethics Complaint against Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM)
Submitted by crew on 5 March 2007 - 12:28pm.

CREW just asked the Senate Ethics Committee to investigate Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM) for his role in the growing scandal surrounding the dismissal of David Iglesias, the U.S. Attorney from New Mexico. As noted below, Senator Domenici called Mr. Iglesias to discuss the status of a pending corruption case. The release and our complaint against Senator Domenici can be found here:

Today Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) asked the Senate Select Committee on Ethics to investigate whether Sen. Pete V. Domenici (R-NM) violated Senate Rules by contacting the U.S. Attorney in Albuquerque, New Mexico, David C. Iglesias, and pressuring him about an ongoing corruption probe.

Sen. Domenici has acknowledged that he contacted Mr. Iglesias to inquire about an ongoing corruption probe ...........

1. Well, looks like CREW hit a nerve there

They really targeted a single article?

When you think about it, it's a childish, desperate move. Nobody is going to be dissuaded from looking at the CREW site because of some net nanny program.

I think this Pete Domenici story needs to be looked into a little deeper.

3. They may not be able to find the CREW website unless they go through

a lot of pages first.

It's google, Yahoo, MSN, etc that will shove the page to the bottom, not net nanny programs on home PCs.

5. It's just a single post

Why doesn't the web admin just yank it?

7. Because it is evidence in the public domain of How Low They Go??

8. Precisely. The impact is on domain rank in major search engines.

2. Got somethin to hide, Pete?

6. Simply put in laymans terms

Its a porn bot. They look for easy to post websites, unprotected form mail, badly run PHP message boards etc etc and then slam the site.This is an ongoing problem for sites that have message boards throughout the net. Porn bots are a webmaster`s worst nightmare after hackers.

It sounds to me like CREW have basically hired an inept web design team and been caught out.

Simple solution to the problem, get a design company who know what they are doing.

9. And at CREW< they just happened to pick two discussions of US Senators

The one on the page about the former Montana Senator leads to graphic porn.

Perhaps a bot, perhaps am assault. I'm thinking an assault that is easy to carry out
because the porn bot is an facile explanation, so investigation is unlikely.
