Now we have the Blog Spammers

So now we have the blog spammers. These are the guys who arene’t really writing anything except buy this, buy this, buy this. Rank me, Rank me. and so on.

There is even software for those spammers who are too lazy to write anything. It will post you out to thousands of sites. I get submissions every day. I don’t act on them.

Then there are the auto submitters that post comments to your blog conveniently including their own url in the response in hopes of jumping off of your PageRank with a link of their own.

According to one blogger, CNN has even engaged on the battlefield, posting comments to blogs in order to win the rating wars.

I think we’ve disabled posting to our blog via comments, so not to worry, but if you have a blog, beware of the blog spammers and prune those messages!
