WTF

looks like the guy was able to code an harvester :1orglaugh

Why do I have the feeling that the entire Goolgle DB is just a touch larger then 14mb? LOL

:eek7

If google only had 1.9 mil urls.... it would be a really suck ass search engine.

It's probably zipped up.

:1orglaugh

1.9 million? I add that a day :Graucho

Sounds to me to be a harvester that went through millions of keywords and they just collected the url, keyword and adcopy of each advertiser. This is only limited to 10 advertisers though and doesn't include the rotated ads unless they did multiple requests.

:1orglaugh google has over 3 billion sites in the database

You people need to wake the fuck up ;)

"Database of URLs of ALL websites (1.9 million) listed on the Google.com directory is on sale!" That is the google "directory", which is the same thing as the dmoz.org directory.

1.9 Million links/domains within the dmoz.org directory sounds about right.

*cou*http://directory.google.com/*gh*

Probably a lot cheaper to download the data directly from DMOZ :)

http://rdf.dmoz.org/

LOL, it's the directory! I thought this guy was referring to the adwords listings. Oh man... too funny :)

WG

I've gotten the same spam before. The guy is selling the google directory, which is the dmoz directory which is FREE to download directly from dmoz.

I feel sorry for anyone that falls for this smuck, lol

this has got to be a joke. things people do these days to try to make money

pathetic :1orglaugh

I sale short UINs

They don't come with the passwords though... but I sale real cheap

i'd almost pay for that. f'ing keyword sandbox is hosed now.
