"Your XML guide"


xml guide
It appears someone has developed a formula for mass production of web sites.

An e-mail arrived recently saying SQLSummit.com had a high Google ranking for
XML+SQL. It requested a link to an article at an XML site (YourXMLGuide.com).

The cover article (http://www.yourxmlguide.com/) aroused my curiosity. The
byline
reads "Elise Allen" but the fourth paragraph reads "I'm a guy who took several
ages to learn HTML".

A Google search showed "Elise Allen" has been very busy:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22Elise+Allen%22+ArticleInsider&btnG=Google+Search

This search produces about 1000+ hits. There is a long list of sites with an
Elise Allen cover article -- about lingerie, Florida vacations, flash drives,
property insurance, credit repair, outsourcing, Internet dating, XML, disability
insurance, and so on. There seems to be a site for at least every topic for
which ArticleInsider has recruited writers:
http://www.articleinsider.com/start.php

Using WHOIS to check domain names, I found a common IP address for the first few
sites I checked. It's in a IP block assigned to "Dialtone, Inc.". There's an
interesting history of usenet messages about that company:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%22Dialtone%2C+Inc.%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search

Some of the featured links on those sites bring up a form requesting personal
data (for example, to apply for a trucking job).
