  4. from housing panic:

    "If you go to overvalued.blogspot.com, which takes you to something else, right click on the page and select "view source," you will see that this HTML page for Atlanta real estate HAS, near the bottom, the HTML coding for overvalued.blogspot.com. In other words, somebody (or a computer) has rigged the page to accept the redirects."

    not necessarily Liareah, but the attacks have targeted a number of the housing blogs.

  9. David,

    Considering that you seem to have the attention of the Washington Post, may I suggest you contact them to let them know that the real estate blogs are getting hacked, and who the prime suspects could be?

    When all else fails, negative publicity toward your enemies is the best defense.

  10. Folks, calm down.

    That commercial real estate blog was displaying ads for commercial real estate because *that is the way Google ads work*.

    Someone set up a blog about commercial real estate, the machine recognized this, and Google started pumping ads based on the keywords "commercial real estate". It is all automated. The thing you are looking at right now is a MACHINE. It interacts with other machines, even if you aren't aware of it.

    That is the way it works. That blog and this one are free for the blogster but it still costs money to run them. If blogspot.com starts incorporating Google Ads into its site, you'll see ads for real estate right here on bubblemeter.blogspot.com.
