GoodWordEditing.com: Innovative Spam Is Just Downright Offensive

  • L.L. Barkat · 2 years ago
    I noticed the same thing yesterday with mine, except that it was attributed to me. "L.L. Barkat wrote a great post today..." But when I clicked through to the site, it was really about selling diamonds! Well, they've got the wrong blogger if they think I can afford to purchase their glitzy goods.

    Mostly I just saw it as a bother. But then it wasn't like they attributed my work to someone else like Marcus Goodyear (Oh, hey, that would work out though, wouldn't it? Among friends?)

    I've been seeing this on my blog too. Sometimes it just grabs my post like LL said and sometimes it attributes it to a fake person like you did. I just delete the comment or linkback.

    I added an update with how to fix this. L.L., I'm not sure how blogger works, but I know Wordpress uses Technorati to measure inbound links in the dashboard.

    heri, thanks for the tip. I checked into Ben's interview, but alas, my blog isn't cool enough for SocialRank yet. I was just the victim of a splog. Oh well.

    Thanks for thinking the best of me.
