New graphs at Xavier Media Whois

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Good news every one :D . We've updated the graphs at Xavier Media Whois to be flash graphs instead of the old boring PNG graphs. This gives our users a fantastic opportunity to compare different TLDs against each other and also to view some more exiting graphs of for example the TOP 10 TLDs or maybe even the TLDs with the biggest increase since the last count:

At the moment the .pl domain is the TLD that's increasing the most in percent. The new .me TLD, that opened up for registrations on the 17th of July, is on the TOP 10 list too. Unfortunately the .me TLD is also on the BOTTOM 10 list for the TLDs with the most pages, but I guess that will change over time since not many have had time to setup their pages during the summer:

You can of course also compare the different TLDs against each other like I've done for the Scandinavian TLDs:

What do you think of the new graphs at Xavier Media Whois?

New type of comment spam?

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Yesterday we got 3 comments posted in two of our blogs that looked strangely the same. All three comments came from the same IP address, and had the same name and email of poster. If I only had noticed one of these comments I would have approved it as it would have been just another comment, but since we got three almost the same comments:

Comment 1

There is more reason to comment than ever before! Great post! I searched for a while to find the right answer to my questions!

Comment 2

Thanks to the article, it make the life of a seo/link building easier and make the commenter come back again and again. I searched for a while to find the right answer to my questions!

Comment 3

There is more reason to comment than ever before! Great post! I searched for a while to find the right answer to my questions!

The disturbing part of all this is that they are all coming from the IP address 82.146.49.61 which resolves to wordpressmassinstaller.net. Unfortunately wordpressmassinstaller.net doesn't have any web site at all, but luckily wordpressmassinstaller.com do and that domain name is registered to the same person as the .net domain:

Frank Delarue
santa monica blvd
beverly hills, California 90212
United States

If you check out wordpressmassinstaller.com it looks like some kind of subscription based web site to manage several Wordpress blogs. The way this service is described at the site it sounds like spam blogs :(

Since the wordpressmassinstaller.com seems like some kind of bad SEO firm, we can unfortunately only asume that someone got a dedicated server to spam Wordpress blogs with comments that almost look real :(

Have you also got comments from 82.146.49.61 (wordpressmassinstaller.net)?
