Technorati Favorites - New Front In Spam War

Category: Technorati, spam — admin @ 6:48 am

The evolution of spam continues.

As bloggers fight spam with Akismet, comment moderation and captchas, spammers exploit a new technique to grab eyeballs for their splogs — spamming Technorati by selecting top 100 blogs as their “favorites.”

Reports Mixed Market Arts:

Akismet does a great job at weeding out spam blog comments, and to keep up with the evolving antispam techniques, the spammers have started joining Technorati and adding top blogs as favorites. This allows them to show up on high traffic (Technorati) blog pages without having to be approved by the blogger.
