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.

! E/ T1 u# @* C+ J* {2 q& o4 kNeedles 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:

7 Q1 W9 x0 |4 FThe 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:
! z2 e; Q2 r2 p) i
1. Download the firefox extension webmaster tools to convert the POST forms to GET forms.

# F" v' i* D" i& O7 T$ b0 p4 |2. Find Movable type blogs.

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

8 ?# [" H) W: J: b
; A, ?1 Q; o, F, ]4 U' h6 b
5. Fill out comment however you like.

) F& e! `8 m9 k! y) \. Q, Y6. Press preview comment.

7. Instead of producing a url like this:

http://www.baseballmusings.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-comments-pinto.cgi
8 P( B" ?$ f- C0 E$ P& G
it will produce a URL like this (images used for formating purposes):
. x) t! {1 y. X" x! e

& b+ n0 V- R/ l; S# L6 c+ \) }
, m' G, T. p! Q4 }5 b: t6 u: a  {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?
