Splog, more splog
It seems that Splogfighter is now switching his attention to the AdSense accounts of spammers. Why?
Google has effectively stopped deleting splogs I report…Anyway since the sharp drop in splogs, the numbers are starting to creep back up since Google isn’t deleting splogs. This recent lack of action by Google encourages spammers and now it appears they are making a comeback.
He’s right, I think, as the number of splogs in this weekly list is on the increase.
I’m monitoring a series of WordPress-based splogs which have been around since September. Although I haven’t officially reported them, Google is aware thanks to my additional details for last week’s piece in the Guardian. While Google cannot delete these splogs (they’re not on Blogspot), it can terminate AdSense accounts.
We’ll just have to see what happens.
I hope this works, but I’m not particularly optimistic considering that Google makes money on the AdSense ads they would have to disable.
