More on Blog and RSS Spam

+ Posted by Josh Hallett on 03.14.05 // 09:41 AM

There seems to be more discussion about Spam in Blogs and by extension RSS. David Sifry of Technorati brings up the issue of spam blogs in a State of the Blogosphere post.

Earlier this year I talked about how spam was moving into RSS. That post generated a response from Bob Wyman of PubSub. Bob's thoughts about the issues were summarized in a follow-up post: Spam in RSS, PubSub's Thoughts

Since I wrote my original post in January the problem has been geeting worse. I will do a few quick searches and post some examples.

Update Do a search at Technorati for LiveStrong. The first few results are all from a spam blog.

Update 2 Just in case the links go away later in the day, here is the spam blog that comes up. I am not creating a valid link for obvious reasons: http://yellow-wristbands.blogspot.com/

Thanks for the comments, and thanks for letting us know about the LiveStrong spamblog. I've added it to our spam queue for review.

Dave

Seems that the yellow-wristband blogger is also interested in safe dieting, satellite tv and sugars that heal.
