Counterfeit KM*S Took Us Down, What About Counterfeit YOU?

I apologize for KM*S being down all week. The reason is all so very technical that it took me nearly the entire down time to understand what I do of it (I don’t completely, and never could), but it’s important to discuss this in detail. However you bloggers will know what I’m talking about, if just a little bit, and it’s important you, especially, read this.

You know when your content gets “scraped” and put up on a splog - spam blog - and you get that rude trackback, to boot? That’s apparantely called referrer spam. And it’s made possible by evil (and I mean EVIL) spam types sending “bots” to crawl pages for content, but I still don’t know how it’s posted to the splogs.

But the truly damaging point IS in fact that crawling. It takes “CPU time” and bandwidth and can drain a domain’s entire shared server, causing on and off 500 Internal Server Errors on any and all domains hosted on one machine with your company. (This is the part in which I feel guilty even though I’m quite innocent.)

And the next part is the point that should make you bloggers using your own hosting nervous. My host had to shut down Kiss Me, Stace until we figured out why it was such a drain and then set up a script to prevent it. It took 5 days. Of downtime. And a Final Warning letter from an advertising service I use (eek!) notifying me the ads could not be found at the location (well duh, nothing could be).

But the bright spot is there in that script. It can be used with any blogging script, even! I believe it’s necessary for any blog getting lots of posts published elsewhere in this manner. It’s helpful for any blogger, even (as long as you host your own blog so you can actually upload the files).

Get it: Referrer Karma

And I’ll be posting again starting today, not Monday. Let’s hope things flow normally from now on!

Spam is not chic. It’s not even fabulously ugly. It’s a nasty, falling-apart, little child-hands-bleeding, terrorist-supporting counterfeit. It’s evil.

Have you ever realized that when you buy readymade suits you get a choice of only a few colors & styles, also finding the perfect fit are quite difficult? Wouldn’t it be better to choose from over 2000 different British & Italian fabrics and get a tailor made suit at a similar price that you pay for readymade suits?

We are a company based in Hong Kong and have been providing custom made suits & shirts since 1997. With representatives in major cities around the globe we can arrange to show you the fabric samples and take your measurements, or you can also place your orders online with the help of our measuring guide. There are over 2000 fabrics to choose from along with all the latest styles.

All our suits and shirts are produced by highly skilled Shanghainese tailors in Hong Kong and delivered in about 4 weeks, express delivery can be made in 2 weeks at a minor extra cost. In case you are not able to find what you are looking for then please let us know your requirement may it be in words or by a photograph and we could arrange it for you.

We also have an outlet at the Hotel Intercontinental Budapest where you are most welcome to visit us. Though we are not located in streets like Savile Row (London), we have still been able to offer made to measure suits to many VIP’s from around the world.
