Technorati Sees Blogspam Rising
Technorati's David Sifry writes that part of the growth of new weblogs created each day is due to an increase in spam blogs ...
... fake blogs that are created by robots in order to foster link farms, attempted search engine optimization, or drive traffic through to advertising or affiliate sites.
Here's one Andrew Denny turned up. This isn't a surprise to me. As soon as people figure out there's ways to exploit new technologies, they do it. It's human nature. It's really up to the search engines to help put a stop to these by undercutting the economics of blogspam, much like they did with nofollow and comment spam.
Of course, such a move would also reduce any impact that blogs have on search results. That's the trade-off.
