I really do not understand the purpose of hackers. I have had my server hacked way back in December 31, 2004 although I did not have any website defaced, my server was down then up to January 1, 2005. And since then, I have been a bit more cautious but I still get some downtime from time to time due to brute force stuff. Good thing I am not a super popular figure for people to attack and deface. Unlike Matt Cutts who’s blog right now is defaced.

Even if this page says DarkSEO Team, hmmm I don’t think someone that will hack them will actually say they hacked them. Thus I don’t believe the Dark SEO Team did this. And it’s funny how they place in some names there trying to point out some names of some popular SEO people. Although I can’t quite decipher them all.

• Dan “the man” - Referring to Danny Sullivan?
• pentazilla - After quad, penta. So this is quadzilla
• Daxster - Referring to Dax
• davenator - Dave Naylor
• monkeyboy - Webguerrilla, Greg Boser
• the canadian crew - Todd Friesen
• RandomFish - Rand Fishkin
• Shchoeoe+npMMo - Shoemoney

I can’t guess who are the rest. But still I do not see that success had these hackers done? I see no good purpose at all in doing this.

If you were under a rock and did not know about the Dave Pasternack and his SEO contest along with some of his quotes saying SEO is not rocket science, it is like baking a cake.* I heard the podcast, on SEORockstars, followed the stories, read the blogs. But one of the interesting post I read was by another Dave. David Temple and he has a very entertaining SEO Alien Abduction story. I had fun reading it, and I do suggest you check it out too. You would appreciate it more if you have been following with the Dave Pasternack story, but if not, you will still enjoy David Temple’s alien story and just bear in mind Dave Pasternack’s quote saying that SEO is easy: SEO is not rocket science, it is like baking a cake.*

*The “it’s like baking a cake” seemed to have evolved in the discussion about David Pasternack among SEO people where I guess I am not 100% sure where it originated from. As confirmed by Mr. David Pasternack in his comments below. He did not say “it’s like baking a cake.” Nevertheless, you can continue on to the link above and have a fun time reading David Temple’s post.

What happened to MSN/Windows Live? Their link: command is not working. So several tool makers could be affected. Although I found out doing it manually. Could it be MSN is redoing their link: command to run more effectively? I noticed the site: command still works fine. Link and Linkdomain are not working.
