Hmm.. dunno when the new Google PageRank hit but I just noticed that my main site (DragonSteelMods) is now a PR5 site, and my new site (dsmtechNews) is now a PR4 site..

Not bad for dsmTechnews considering it was just launched on November 27th of last year…

This site remained the same, oh well, I was actually expecting it to drop since it is still listed as possibly harming your computer.. bah.. that will get fixed soon, I’m just waiting again for them to re-review the site.

I hate hackers and spammers, really I do.. I’ve had a few more attempts today actually, like the one I posted about previously… I like Counterize that way, it’s tells you so much information about who is visting your site and what they are trying to do…

today I found some very odd entries in Counterize tracking, whoever it is put these weird strings of characters at the end of my URLs and tried to access them:

/%5C’+AFv_tag.URL.AF+%5C’images/%5C’+AFv_tag.URL.AF+%5C’images/

%5C’+AFv_tag.URL.AF+%5C’cover.php?w=\’+w+\’&h=\’+h+\’

Can anybody tell me what hell that is? I’ve got quite a few of them that look like that and similar to that just different by a few characters.. they went to one URL and added different variations of that to it 10 times in about 10 minutes…

Counterize tells me the IP originates from Telekenex in San Francisco, never heard of them though..

dsmTechNews gets a whole lot of spam and hacking attempts per day, I’m amazed really at all of it.. but since I’ve installed WP-SpamFree and Simple Trackback Validation the amount of spam has dropped by at least 95%, but STV doesn’t seem to be doing it’s thing correctly, although there are numerous settings to play with, so maybe I need to change something in there…
