I started publishing the culprits of spam on my spammer-log page. It started with email spam that was getting through my Postini filters. However, Postini is so good, there is hardly any spam to report from my email. But my blog is getting spammed now through the back channels. I don’t know how they do it; my blog only allows comments from registered users. Somehow these jokers submit comments without registering by some hack method. That method, whatever it is, is an illicit act since the spammers are hacking my blog to post their crap.

The interesting thing is that these are mostly SEO black hats that were hired by unsuspecting customers who just want to do well in the search engines. So I post the website they are optimizing and note it with my own comment about how the owner of that website basically hired a criminal to do their SEO. If they care anything about their business, they should fire them immediately. Google penalization and banning is not a myth. It is very real, and when more sites like mine post the bad apples, Google will be made aware of whats going on. However, the most common way your site will get the attention of Google is from your competitors reporting you because they see what you are doing. THey basically rat you out, and that’s a good thing because you are cheating.

Bottom line is to hire a reputable SEO that doesn’t do this nonsense and violate other websites for your temporary benefit. Yeah, I’m one of those reputable SEOs that does not cheat. Contact me if you want the real deal.
