Mybloglog - Just BEGGING to be Spammed
Have you seen My Blog Log?
Basically it’s a widget that shows who the recent users of a blog were with a link to a page like this.
This seems like a rehash of the “latest referral” feature that all but killed the b2evolution blogging app.
Funny thing is, I’m in Brazil right now and just went to the b2evolution.net website and got this message:
403 Forbidden
Please stop referer spam.We have identified that you have been refered here by a known or supposed spammer.
If you feel this is an error, please bypass this message and leave us a comment about the error. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If you are actually doing referer spam, please note that this website/b2evolution no longer records and publishes referers. Not even legitimate ones! While we understand it was fun for you guys while it lasted, please understand our servers cannot take the load of all this cumulated spam any longer… Thank you.
Also, please note that comment/trackback submitted URLs will be tagged with rel=”nofollow” in order to be ignored by search engines
Interesting considering the referral was from Google!
I’m sure there are some safeguards in place for mybloglog, but my first impression is that the app and people who use it are just begging to be spammed.
