Spam: Who doesn’t hate it?

Author: J. Angelo Racoma Category: Archives, network, security Tags: network, security Views: 11720

Thursday
Jul 21, 2005

I got tagboard-spammed!  When I checked my blog this
morning, I got about 200 pieces of spam messages from online casino
outfits.

Actually last week I was also trackback-spammed.  My blog got about 300 pieces of spam trackbacks in about half a day.

I’ve temporarily disabled trackbacks and I’m likewise disabling the
tagboard until I get to activate anti-spam measures like the
human-challenge plugin in the comments area.

What do these guys get from spamming my site?  Search-engine
optimization?  But then that means if someone enters “online
casino” in google, it’s my site that would be moved up in the search
results.  Good for my site, but not necessarily good for theirs.
