Web Spam

This is a video well worth watching.

It is a great introduction to "What Google Knows About Spam" by Matt Cutts who is Google's king of spam blocking. If you don't know what web spam is (it's not e-mail spam...) then spend 10 minutes watching this video from the Web 2.0 conference.

You can find the video at the SearchEngineWatch site here.

Now if only we can find a good solution to splog (blog comment spam). I have picked up more than a few blog trolls and leaches such that I am deleting en masses thousands of splog daily. Evil demons!

Anyway, it pays to be educated.

Stephen,

Gary Price at ResourceShelf just posted a link to an interesting site, KnujOn (http://www.knujon.com/knujon.html). Perhaps this would help with the splog you receive.

Thanks,
SA
