Creating date based back entries for a blog and its site registration
- by open_sourse
So I am showing a blog to a colleague and telling him how the author has been regularly blogging for over ten years now. My colleague tells me that anyone can register a domain name and start entries from say circa 2000. When I argued that the site registration date can easily show that the registration was done recently he put forward two arguments:
The author can claim that he moved from an old domain name which was registered many years ago and lapsed. So he took the data and rebuilt it in the new site.
The author can buy an expired domain which was on the internet for many years.
I am not sure if these ways can work to con someone to believing you have been a blogger for over a decade. But I do not have enough expertise in the topic to refute him.
So I thought I would ask the wise community here at StackExchange. Can anyone give me some insight?
