Been getting a fair amount of spam here which seems more designed to test or overload spam defenses than actually do anything.  It’s all made up of single links to something like “http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=fgfrfpjq” and other nonsense terms.  Clicking through the searches lead to no such string being found in Google.<\/p>\n
