SPAM Blogs

The world of blogs is getting overrun with SPAM.

Looking through random blogs via the "next blog" on the top right hand corner has shown that people peddling dubious products have realised that blogs can be another way to get in front of people's faces.

They have also learned that the more frequently you post, the greater than chances of being featured on the next blog list. With the ability to pre-set when the blog is to be published, some SPAMers are simply cutting & pasting the same SPAM into blogs that are set to be published every hour or so. With 24 blogs a day, the hit level is going to be reasonably high.

Luckily, the "next blog" button can be re-clicked to get past these SPAM blogs. Let's face it. If I want a personal injury lawyer, I'm not goping to choose one who SPAMS on blogs. If I need to lose weight, I will see a doctor, not search through blogs for something making unsubstatiated, wild claims.

SPAM blogs are just as annoying as SPAM e-mails, but unlike an e-mail, you can't set a SPAM filter on the "next blog" function.

I suppose it doesn't matter what form of communication that mankind comes up with, there will always be someone there to SPAM it.
