Spam blogs (splogs) out of control....

Replace xxx with tt

http://splogspot.com/

This ones good.!

Splogs will always be with us... they are like the herpes sores on the great digital vulva known as the Interwebs............

anything that's successful on the internet will always be used and abused and exploited....the internet is like one big multi level marketing cloud......there is no way to fix that...

Exactamundo.... No matter what amount of image verification / security hoops they put on certain sites and certain modes of marketing, nothing will change the fact that IF IT GENERATES TRAFFIC, SOMEONE WILL EXPLOIT IT AND MAX OUT ITS POTENTIAL

Image verification used to stop a lot of the automated shit in its tracks... but thanks to outsourcing and per hour rates that are rockbottom, even IV is ineffective. The only real effective barrier I see is a qualitative one instead of an anti-automation one. :2 cents:

There are ways to do it responsibly so as not to get swept up and banned :2 cents:

The most obvious is offer REAL content. Also, customize each response or comment and offer real content.

Talk about throwing the baby out with the bathwater

I doubt they'll do it. There's TONS of good "real" blogs at blogspot.com I put real in quotes because there's wide divergence of views as to what "real" mainstream blogs are. To me, real = real content with contenxt/ppc ads. To others, real = content only no ads. :) We can all agree though.... keyword only blogger entries = spam :(

One of our customers using AutoBlogger Pro got to page 4 after just two weeks for a very good term (16,600,000 results) A week before he was on page 78. No splogging needed. See sig :) or contact me on ICQ (in location) Gene I wanted to talk with you about something too if you could hit me on ICQ. YARGH!

Right on, Chio. Let's touch base. Also, I may have a biz proposal for ya.

YARGH! So long as it doesn't involve me squids. I'm on all night, finishing up some big stuff (to be announced later) Hit me up.

forum autoposter? :)

I gotta agree there. Spam is getting out of control . I'm gonna have to turn messages off if this keeps goign

Talking about blogs. I am thinking of resuscitating http://justtraffic.blogspot.com Would webmasters here be interested?

I loved that blog, and was sorry to see it die :( There was a lot of great info there.

it's not just google... msn loves blogs too...
:)

hello bloggers

MSN is awesome, man. :thumbsup :thumbsup

Good find!

Bookmarked. By looking at that ton of coal, there might be some malformed diamonds there (not likely but I have the labor army to try) :winkwink:

I like the description, too:
Listing Spam blogs, LinkFarms, "Just for ads!" blogs, "Click my adsense" blogs..

YARGH! Features added to AutoBlogger Pro, automated delivery of orders, and updates, and..... FORUM AUTOPOSTER! YARGH!

Bit tricky for Google, on the one hand condemning splogs, on the other hand taking the adsense/adwords revenue

I have one on there, and so far have not had any problems. Like being reported etc. But when I surf the blogs, there are tons of them that sre just SE spam.

Sooooo true, I miss it as well.

:thumbsup
:pimp

Well if that is the case:

Lets kill instant messenger services since so many bots are out there.

Lets kill myspace because there are adult fake profiles.

Lets eliminate all online dating services since fake profiles are in there.

And dozens upon dozens of other high traffic sources with dual uses. You have a very valid point. I don't thing Google is gonna do away with blogspot/blogger anytime soon.

BING--O!

I've been thinking of venturing into the PPC sponsorship biz model. Gotta see whatsup with backend providers though. :helpme

splogs are serving 2 purposes - baclinks and faster spidering for "made-4-adsense sites.

thanks to kblogger
 

Thanks to advice I read on kblogger I'm making money on the web (and so are my sponsors).

Thanks Kblogger! :thumbsup

Yes, do it! To start out you can make a post about Google Base ;)

That's good stuff :) I'm reading it now too.

hmm very interesting. i just came across a ton of these today and i was wondering what to do with them. thanks!

I was bouncin around on there last week and saw a profile with one of Oliver Klozov's girls' pics.. Wonder how many fell for that one..? :)

Hell yeah bring it back .... got some good info from those :thumbsup

Okay, due to immense webmaster public demand, it will be making a comeback... but not on blogspot :1orglaugh
