Blogspot Spam Continued

So tonight I'm running through the blogspot blogs with the blogger navbar on top of them and I'm amazed at the amount of these blogs that are nothing more than spam blogs. These blogs are typically only set up to put up posts in an automated fashion and send users to another site that can capitalize on ignorant web surfers.

Here's a list of some of the urls I found tonight so you can do your own homework on exactly what folks are doing to spam blogspot. Unfortunately, I lack the energy required to break down each of the spam techniques but I think something needs to be said about all the garbage people are putting on blogspot these days.

Blogspot Spam Blogs
I'm not willing to link directly to these pieces of garbage but I'm providing the urls in plain text format so you can cut and paste them into your browser and see what's going on for yourself.

Well, I think that's enough for one evening. I went through about 40 blogs to find those spam blogs. I did end up finding some pretty good blogs on blogspot during my little jaunt. Some had decent pagerank scores and others had tons of comments to boot but none of them were on a subject I'm interested in so I'm not including them in here.

Hopefully, by posting about some of the garbage sites on blogspot, the blogger boys will be able to clean them up a bit easier. One thing I must clarify though, this isn't just a blogspot problem. Blog spam is all over the place now, with the advent of diy api's, any half-wit webmaster can roll their own CMS and be in the blog spam business in a couple hours.
