Blogs that seem to fetch articles and other data from the web… How to setup?

  • Hi,

    I’ve seen a few blogs out there that seem to crawl the web to fetch data. A number of them have shown up as pingbacks on my own blog, which is not hosted on my own site.

    How are these set up? Is there a specific name for the plug-ins or type of activity?

    Also, is it possible to change account password on this forum?

    Thanks,

    techphets

    I must be blind. I don’t see a ‘users’ link and when I click on the ‘view your profile linke’ there is no users link or a password link on profile, edit, or favorites pages. I searched the pages using Firefox’s find and the only time password was found was on the mailing list in the ‘subscribe to mailing list’ section.

    What version of WP are you using?

    I think techphets means to change password in www.ads-software.com…. I also need to know this as now I am using the machine generated code, hard to remember.

    Techpets, these “Blogs” are automated robots that create a page with data from other sources. They then automatically pingback the other blogs to gain linkage.

    At first sight I would classify them as SPAM and would only decide otherwise on specific, single instances. So I find it quite eager to post a question in this forum that some other user tell here how you can SPAM google and pingback-spam other blocks.

    If you’re not intended to spam the web but want to syndicate other peoples stuff, think about using the RSS-Widgets.
