The Fox Blog

I’ve been away for a week or so and haven’t checked the progression of one of the site during the time. I remember having in the guestbook something like 15 messages. When I just checked it up today, I got over 70. Wow what a success I told myself… After reading some of the messages, it turned out to be just spam. Check it here.

All the messages include a small word about the site and a link to a web page, the subjects vary, the most common I’ve been seeing on my sites are about selling valium, phentermine or other drugs. Also got some bunch of poker sites spammers.

Ever since some site unleashed the so-called “secrets” of Google ranking, spam messages in forums, guestbooks and more generally the entire web has been increasing dramatically. It is believed that the more sites link to your web page, the better it is ranked on Google, the better it is rank the more traffic you get, the more money you make (you probably already know the story). Google is really great but success has its price, lots of people are abusing from Google services, not just when it comes to page ranking, AdSense as well is an obvious target.
