Fascinating November Usenet (alt.internet.search-engines) discussion thread here on blog comment spam — from the perspective of the spammers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What’s more your sexy lingerie site would be a pr8 right now if you also did guestbook, memberlist, and blog posts instead of dropping to a pr6 as it has. (it was a pr7 last month). You’re becoming too ethical and that is stopping you from doing better than you can.<\/p>\n

Well, we can’t have that<\/i>, now, can we? The other person responds, no doubt with accuracy:<\/p>\n

You assume too much, when it comes to making money I lower my ethics considerably.<\/p>\n

All sorts of fun (as in “like watching bugs under a lifted rock”) discussion of guest books, pageranks, dummy websites, and other ways to game Google for fun and profit.<\/p>\n
