However, you've linked to a lot of them here - at least try to use "nofollow" on those links - you're passing pagerank to the splogs. Legitimising them. If I owned one of those splogs, I'd be pleased with you. Why else do you think they ping everyone - to get the trackback link. You're linking to them for nothing. Stop it! Please. [You checked the links before leaving your comment? They've been dead for several years. And don't complain about me dropping your link to 24hourtrading dot co uk off your comment. According to Yahoo site explorer, you seem to be doing quite well without my pagerank! -M] I’m sick of splogs.

To get to the point, you complain about Michelle's blogging software but you actually place a link to it? Additionally, did you realize that many of the link samples of the bad guys you gave are no longer working? So, I needed to see examples of your sploggers and couldn't reach them [half of these are no longer working - the bad guy samples (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) ]. Think about it - that was actually very good advertising for the blog software RSS2blog! The lessons I learnt here, since I didn't know about sploggers before are: 1. what splogging is all about and b. how to do it myself because the link to the site was posted by the complainant. Therefore, what have you really achieved? Perhaps a new potential splogger! :) have a great day. www dot ontome dot com --- may I? [You may, but I made sure it didn't link! - Michael] [This post is nearly three years old now so that's why the links are broken. RSS2Blog is well known anyway. If you want to read more, Wikipedia has a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_blog">good description</a> of splogs (spam blogs). -Michael] I would have loved to leave a link but it’s not worth it as you might delete it.
