The perils of automated splog detection...

...as Google managed to detect one of its own blogs as a spam blog, before handing over the URL to all and sundry. A good job that the spoof blogger that took it over wasn't a spam blogger...

Neologism of the day: splogs

...ego-surfing my Technorati watchlists, I found at least two Blogger sites were copying my (and others content) for pages that had nothing else but vast swathes of Google AdSense advertising. I've been splogged.

Spam blogs or "splogs" are getting more and more prevalent, and they're being automated.

Grrr. Not much I can do about that...
