Automated Spam - and why it’s wrong
There’s a nice article on nowsell.com relating to the art of blog spamming - basically a marketing company who have realised that posting links all over other peoples websites is going too far…
now if I didn’t have to do a ton of stuff to keep the rest of them at bay my life would be a lot easier. There’s been times I’ve wanted to close this blog down just because keeping on top of the spam was impossible.
Some more new anti-spam stuff behind the scenes now seems to be working, and I’ve had no comment or trackback spam get through the traps recently - so public commenting has been reopened, and so far is being kept clean by the traps…
