Llamasoft does TxK for Sony Vita

[Harlequin]

What the heck ?
Am I the only 2% that watches weird pr0n sites and does not want to get spammed with odd stuff or viruses while watching a website ?
Or ... am I the only 2% that does not want to allow cialis and viagra entering my mailbox or searches while looking at a TxK review ?
What is the other 98% doing then ?

I am unafraid to venture into the darkest alleys of the Net and even to wank in some of them but I hardly ever disable ECMA/JavaScript as a whole (although I do generally block pop-ups, third-party cookies and the like). It is just far too useful these days.

Because the script's programmed to hide the HTML.

A spider will see the HTML text, because it doesn't parse the script, and so it gets its SEO boost (or, more likely, trashes the SEO of hardcoregamer.com). But the browser won't so it takes longer to raise the alarm and get it pulled.

I'm a little fuzzy on how all this fits together. Is there an article you can point me to that explains how this works? We're in the process of scrubbing the lamprey text from the site, but I'd still like to know what it was supposed to accomplish, and how it hurts the site's SEO by being there.

And thanks for letting us know, Giles. It never occurred to any of us to look at the site like that so we were completely taken by surprise. Passwords being changed all around as quickly as possible.

I'm no expert on the full DOM. But basically, when a browser loads a web page everything - HTML, CSS, images, etc. - is loaded into objects in the browser, basically in the form of a tree with the logical representation of hte HTML page as the root. Hence, Domain Object Model. The browser walks the object tree to render the web page.

Javascript has complete access to the DOM. So it can modify, rewrite, delete any parts of it - deleting text out of certain tags in text, modifying the CSS, substituting one image for another, etc.

Because of my ineptitude in these matters I can't offer a programming example, maybe someone else can.

As to how it affects SEO - the purpose of it will be to inflate some other site's HMTL by associating those various common spam words with links to that web site, and related sites linking to your site is a source of pagerank. Nowadays though the effect may well be the reverse - since Google et.al. detect many common kinds of SEO spam and react by reducing the site's page ranking. This may have collateral damage on all links on the page, so potentially damaging your own page ranking. I would imagine that 'viagra viagra' in such close association to so many other spam words is highly likely to trigger a spam filter...

That's exactly how it works

Jsfiddle example:

http://jsfiddle.net/gazliddon/BGh2N/

The JS gets run when the page has loaded and changes the text in the paragraph with the id text using some jquery

I can't see it because I don't have JS ( of course )

Javascript isn't a great way to give someone a virus, or a trojan.

Plug-ins can be far worse. I'd be a lot more worried by Flash or Java. Java in particular has been pretty bad over the last few years.

I have those two disabled as well and in a couple of machines Flash is not even installed.

cheers, we're pretty happy with how it's starting to shape up .

Ahh pretty flowers!

I hate f-ing flowers!

The more I see this, the more excited I get about the chance to use my Vita.

But, even more so, the more desperate I get to wanting to be playing this on a big screen in a dark room with the sound cranked up.

Ooh, lovely vector-y flowers.

I have to ask, Jeff - because I haven't seen it mooving yet - those lovely little triangular prisms in the background of the webs, they are on moving paths, aren't they? Like... animating?

'Cause it'd be a waste for them to be following curves like that and not to...
