need php script to test if domain is Blacklisted

bgillingham

Can anyone write a bit of php script that will determine whether or not a domain is blacklisted? I need to test a huge list of domain names that I have links to on my site, but I can't be linking to blacklisted domains, right?!

I guess that blacklisted means "Blacklist Status" according to www.whois.sc or a similar service.

Is this the reason for the google dance? Google gives sites really low scores that have a lot of links to spam sites. I never had the forsight to test them before.

Any help is much appreciated!

well, I found a way to code the html so that blacklisted content doesn't really matter or effect your page ranking --- I though that I would share what I learned about this.

If you add the rel="nofollow" to any link, it will keep you from getting any penalty - yet be able to keep all of your links published.

So, for an example:
you have a link to any potential blacklisted domain:
