Moveable Type Backlink Exploit

Do you want free backlinks? Does the Pope shit in the woods?

Boogybonbon has found a way to exploit the preview comment form to create backlinks from Movable type blogs.

From the post, MovableType preview button good for back links:

As long as the blog is not a MovableType 3.2/3.x the blog will give a nice URL that you can publish into a ping list and get indexed for back links. This is because the MovableType 3.x uses JavaScript to convert tags into a preview comment field and as we all know search engines cant see that.

Needles to say it only took me about 15 minutes to find 6 blogs with PR 5-8 and process the forms over to GET then post the URL’s into a couple ping sites.

Here’s how it works:

The preview comment button on movable type blogs uses the POST method but search engines require the GET method to index a URL. So, what you need to do is:

1. Download the firefox extension webmaster tools to convert the POST forms to GET forms.

2. Find Movable type blogs.

3. Open The “preview Comment” in a new window.

4. Convert the POST Form to a GET Form like this:

5. Fill out comment however you like.

6. Press preview comment.

7. Instead of producing a url like this:

http://www.baseballmusings.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-comments-pinto.cgi

it will produce a URL like this (images used for formating purposes):

                               
登录/注册后可看大图

The links on the produced pages are NOT nofollow.

8. Now, you may want to use a service like tinyurl or a redirect to hide what you are doing (not required)

9. Ping that URL to the Search Engines in splog posts, guestbooks, or however you think best.

Pretty freaking cool, huh?
