phantomLine™ — the ultimate stealth

fantomas shadowSniper™

Our prime stealthing (also termed IP Delivery or Cloaking) tool offers you usage of an unlimited number of gateway, stealth or phantom pages for truly top notch search engine positioning and page code protection.

The Problem

In an ever more competitive internet environment top search engine rankings are increasingly gaining in importance. As a stand alone marketing instrument, they have long surpassed banner ads and bulk email in efficiency — a trend that is hardly likely to change in the foreseeable future, quite the contrary in fact.

However, web positioning is also exactly that sector where competition is fiercest!

As a serious webmaster or an internet entrepreneur you can't really afford not to opt for the very best web positioning option available. Which undoubtedly is “stealth technology” or the art of feeding search bots pages specifically optimized for their indexing algorithms while directing your real web site visitors to content more amenable to human consumption.

Still, some sharks out there offering stealth software would gleefully rip you off for literally thousands of dollars. Now while you might gladly wish to pay a fair price for a fair product, you weren't quite expecting to actually having to buy out those mega important search engines, were you?

Not that people aren't trying: paid-for links positioning, popularity ratings based on direct hits technology, keyword auctions — all these are clearly favoring those mega corporations that can afford doling out hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars for a good ranking with a couple of major search engines.

Ah yes, what's worse: let's not forget that it's not as if there were only a handful of search engines around — there are literally hundreds, plus a shockfull of catalogs, directories etc., all of which demand costly tackling of their own.

And if it's not downright buying positions by key word acquisition or rental, those big boys have plenty of moolah to spend on highly specialized personnel as in “one web positioning expert per engine”.

So, finally, enter the fantomas shadowSniper™ — the truly affordable killer application!

The Solution

This is the mainstay of our state of the art stealth (alt. “cloaking”, “food”, “phantom”) technology Products Palette. It is no exaggeration to state that in tandem with our fantomas keyMixer™ this gives you all the stealth you'll ever need!

Here's the meat:

Fourteen strong reasons why you should use fantomas shadowSniper™

1. recognizes search bots (spiders) via a reference file in txt format. File can be updated and edited online and off anytime by user
2. serves “stealth” or “phantom” pages to spiders — these are pages optimized for engines; alternatively, human visitors are served those pages specified by user
3. lists all hits (robots and human) in proprietary log file — very easy to follow in text area window of user control interface; includes search words and phrases as entered by visitors in search engines — VERY IMPORTANT for continuous optimization of your web site!
4. allows usage of unlimited number of keywords; you will copy one Keyword Switch file per keyword (looks like any ordinary web page but in reality it is a ready made CGI script) wherein is laid out which particular page your human visitors will be shown for that specific keyword; plus another file containing the optimized phantom page for the search engines to index — this allows for unlimited flexibility
5. lists the following data in separate text area windows when activated:
   1. hits statistics
   2. all currently registered search engine spiders (a comprehensive list of all currently known spiders is included in our package)
   3. all phantom pages contained in their own directory in the form of complete URLs
6. remains invisible to the search engines and will work as an unrecognized background process: no transparent redirection tag in the HTML header, no amateurish JavaScript redirect frizz, both of which may crash your visitors' browsers and can lead to refusal of indexing or even penalization by the search bots
7. allows submission of absolutely innocuous HTM pages; hence, no mandatory restriction to your cgi-bin directory, allowing for straightforward search engine submission without any recognizable peculiarities
8. not limited to any predefined set of search engines
   • need international submissions? No problem!
   • Want to cater to the smaller engines too, not restricting yourself to the major players with their fiercely competitive environment?
   • After all, every hit lost could be a customer lost?
   • Easy: simply list the engines you require
9. even works with search engines that will accept only primary domains, i.e. no subdirectories: simply customize the path parameter in your Keyword Switch — that's it!
10. based on what is probably the world's most comprehensive list of search bots: fantomas spiderSpy™ with addresses both in:
    1. 1. unresolved (e.g. 111.222.333.44)
       2. resolved format (e.g. spider1.searchbot.com)
    2. meaning that you will be independent from your web server's specific configuration (many servers refuse to resolve IPs in order to save on bandwidth and storage space)
    3. Plus, 12 months sub now included!
11. does not rely on dubious, easy-to-circumvent User Agent identification to recognize search bots
12. is password protected to restrict usage to authorized persons only; however, will accept blank (nul) passwords too, if installed accordingly. (Not recommended except as a temporary time saving solution during check up.)
13. now comes with FREE INSTALLATION
14. now comes with unlimited email support

The Problem

Determining Search Engine Spiders

If you are a freelancing search engine positioning artist, you will require precise and up-to-date information on who and what you are dealing with. Your clients can't wait to see their web sites posted and ranking in the search engines' top range. But how will you get all those new or unknown spider names and IPs updated in time, with additional crawlers and search bots being implemented and combing the net every day?

And how will you effectively decipher your log files to evaluate your online marketing and search engine positioning efforts? How to recognize (and possibly filter or redirect) all those spiders that simply won't let on who they are by refusing to divulge their User Agent or domain name data when knocking on your virtual door?

While there's a plethora of services and web sites out there offering sound and solid advice on search and submission issues, occasionally bundled with tons of technical data focusing on search robots, getting hold of a comprehensive list of spiders is well nigh impossible.

Existing lists accessible to the general public are either exclusively biassed towards the major players, blithely ignoring the fact that there are several thousand SEs now, all competing for a share of the cake.

Or, they tend to ignore all but the U.S. based engines, leaving all those webmasters out in the cold who are either themselves foreign based or interested in catering to the ever growing huge international clientele of an expanding, far from saturated global market.

(This is after all, let's not forget, the Internet!)

fantomas keyMixer™

The Problem

Keyword density is rapidly becoming one of the most important factors influencing search engine positioning.

Up until now, optimizing gateway and stealth pages for SE submission entailed time consuming manual labor: fiddling around to achieve search engine specific keyword densities by trial and error, by counting words and strokes for every web page you wanted to optimize.

In short: a chore to be shunned. (Which is probably why you get to see so few truly optimized pages on the web.)

The Solution

The eminently configurable fantomas keyMixer™ does it all for you in a flash!

This maverick program lets you:

1. define your keywords (single words or multi-word key phrases) up to a maximum of 5 per shot, though in actual practice we recommend working with a max. range of 1-3 keywords per page
2. specify name and location of target files (in .html format) — if you're working online you won't have to upload them by ftp or telnet, saving you tons of time!
3. specify your own filler text file for optimization of contextual relevance which is increasing in importance with several major search engines currently
4. specify your desired keyword density in percent (e.g. “KW1 = 1.5%”, “KW2 = 1.8%”, “KW3 = 0.9%”, etc.) — simply click the button and the optimized gateway or phantom (stealth) page will pop up in your text area field, complete with HTML header, meta tags, etc. for review or eventual final editing if required. Keyword density will be exact to the first decimal digit!
5. optimize your meta tags in that same single process
6. protect your starter lines i.e. that part of your body text actually read, indexed and displayed by those engines that will ignore your meta contents by policy — granting you optimum control over what surfers finding your SE entry will get to see
7. avoid all spamdexing penalization literally to the dot
8. copy and surpass competitors' top positioned pages' keyword densities without infringement of copyright, thus avoiding cost intensive litigation
9. preview and, where required, further edit the automatically generated stealth or phantom page in one single session — hard to beat that comfort!
10. design and optimize an unlimited number of gateway or phantom (stealth) pages

The Problem

Code Jacking

Unfortunately, there will always people who want to have it all for free and who will not even shy away from downright criminal acts.

This includes the theft of codes, which is technically very easy to effect: the competitor's successful page will be downloaded, meta tags and keyword entries relentlessly copied into the perpretator's own page.

Finally, the new pirated web page is re-submitted to the search engines in its optimized version — and there goes weeks and months of meta tags fine tuning! Suddenly, your search engine entry will experience a downslide while your unethical competitor's pages will climb to the top. So off you go once more, optimizing and re-optimizing your pages, resubmitting them, only to be imitated by the copycat, etc. And if there are more than two parties involved (e. g. when someone else starts copying your code pirating competitor), the vicious cycle may well continue and escalate ad nauseam.

What's worse: in actual practice it can be extremely difficult if not downright impossible to prove such infringement of your copyright as a base for court action. After all, your foe can replace the pirated code with a less controversial version after achieving an optimized search engine positioning.

Alternatively, they may go for wholesale cloaking technology in the first place, i. e. employing phantom pages (also termed “stealth”, “food” or “cloaking” pages) you will never get to see in your web browser — meaning that you won't be able to download and analyse them for proof of infringement.

The Professional Solution

By uni-encoding your entire web pages you can effectively protect your web site from code napping. Of course, this encoded version should be readable for all browers without any restrictions. And, just as important, the search engines must understand the code, too, of course.

No problem with our fantomas shadowCoder™ — it will perform that task in a flash. But see for yourself, test the fantomas shadowCoder™ online here!

fantomas mailShield™

A simple and free trick to protect your web site efficiently from spam mail — now including camouflage of entire HTML pages.

The Problem

(rt) Spam artists' extractor bots can make life living hell for any webmaster: tirelessly hunting for deliverable email addresses, they have begun to comb through not only Usenet but any websites accessible to them.

Now you know as well as we do that even the flashiest web site is no good at all if your visitors and clients cannot contact you. So what you do is to put your email address dutifully on your web page — and off the spammers go again to pester you later with their junk mail. Not only is this a nuisance, it is also time consuming and in consequence damaging to your business.

Of course you can go a long way in avoiding this issue by employing email filters (“kill files”). However, such filters will have to be generated manually. Moreover they are notoriously unreliable because while you know the addresses of past and present spammers, you don't know who is yet to come. Hence, kill file filters can offer only a very limited protection against spamming.

While the trick outlined below does not present any ultimative solution either, even though it has been widely hyped as such in the U.S. internet media, it is currently still pretty useful, which is why we want to share it here.

The Solution

The procedure is quite simple: do not employ clear text for email addresses on your web site. Instead, convert the characters of your address (or even only a few of them) into browser readable Unicode. As per time of writing we are not aware of any address extractor bot capable of reverse-decoding in the Unicode standard.

The result being: your email address will be sorted out as “undeliverable” by the extractor program. Let it be noted that we expect this to change some time in the future when more powerful extractor programs will have been written. But until then, you may as well count your blessings for having warded off these virtual pests if only temporarily.

Let's take a practical example

The following email address is written entirely in Unicode, as you can see when checking the source code of this page. We even encoded the “mailto:” command!:

Provided your browser supports HTML 3.2 however, you should only see the clear text on your screen.

In reality, the address is encoded as follows:

fan
toma
ster
@fan
toma
ster
.com

You will find a list of the most important Unicode characters relating to email communication here!

(Will open in separate browser window.)

Or, do it the even easier way — online and in real time! And even more comfortable yet! The following link will guide you to our proprietary program:

Once you have followed the link above, all you need to do is to enter your selected email address and click on the encoding button: immediately after, you will see your uni-encoded address pop up in the window! And not to worry: our system will obviously not store your email address, your privacy is ensured.

fantomas shadowCoder™

If you feel that uni-encoding email addresses is not enough by way of protecting your web site, how about uni-encoding entire web pages?

Of course, this encoded version should be readable for all browers without any restrictions.
