According to a recent study, most online free blog hosting services actually host blogs that are used just for spamming, also known as splogs. And this isn’t even any particular group of hosters, even Google’s Blogspot is basically one big pile of spam blogs. It’s not as bad as blogsharing, or sitegr, which are basically nearing(or already are) 100%.
This is just nuts, so much money is probably spent on hosting all those blogs, I wonder why they don’t anything about them? Or maybe google actually profits from the splogs?
While we are on topic, I noticed yet another part of my site getting spammed. This time it was the custom signs section. So I had to go clean it up, and code up some anti-spam measures. Very annoying and not exactly something I’d love to spend my free time on. Luckily enough, I think that that was the last user submittable form that wasn’t yet protected from spammers in some way or form.
