Splogs?

Well I guess I'm behind the times. Apparently the practice of third parties hijacking blog article and traffic content and placing it on their own page is growing as a way to troll for search traffic and thus generate ad revenue. A service to stop it exists: Splog Reporter.

I guess I've had my head in a hole, I really hadn't heard about this before. Now I know. Die sploggers die!

Well... as an administrator of a rather popluar poker blog Up For Poker, I've fallen victim to these Splogs numerous times. Most are just banner farms that steal RSS feeds and plaster the pages with ad content. Fortunately, they aren't very successful and rarely manage much of a google ranking.
