Hunting SPAMblogs: spread the word!
Pascal Vanhecke did a great job in describing what spamblog are and how they work. Now he has a posting on how to hunt these spamblogs. The idea is very simple. When you find one, please save them in a spamblog del.icio.us tag. In this way they got known by Technorati and all others who can then skip them. So let’s start. Spread the word!




What happens when I tag your blog as a spamblog? Is there a way out?

hmmm. I see what you are aiming at. Let's think before I answer. I will also ask pascal

How about a digital certification mark for non-spam blogs?

A good, but not ideal solution would be if technorati blocked only spamblogs when 10 or more people tagged it as spam and not just one person.

@tinus: look at the discussion at pascal's weblog: http://pascal.vanhecke.info/2005/06/01/hunting-spamblogs/ and the trackback above. International exposure for the problem.
Technorati is able to track the spamblog by means of the tag and the source of the blog as pascal describes.
