Someone has posted an old blog entry of mine on their blog. They've labeled it a "guest blog" but given no attribution. The other tags they've assigned it are arts, handicrafts, health insurance, miranda de ebro, and salvos.

ReplyDeleteOne can hope that they eventually go mad and turn on their creator.
Its a trick to get around spam filters. The idea is to make their sites seem like a legitimate site to the automatic spam filtering algorithms (because if they come up with a way to tag that site, they will also tag legitimate sites like yours)
ReplyDeleteYep. It's a fake blog. Report it to abuse@wordpress.com and they'll take it down.
ReplyDeleteThanks for explanations!
ReplyDeleteHow do you find these things? If someone quoted my blog, I doubt I'd notice, unless they just happened to hit one of the key-words I google, or it gets picked up by Technorati.
