Today I received a comment from a site by the name of celebritygossipandchat.com. The comment was sort of relevant to the post, so Spam Karma, which I use, allowed it. Curious, I followed the link to this person’s site and found a few posts related to the celebrity world, more or less copied straight from a news site. The links in the sidebar seemed to point towards products and commercial sites and some similarly questionable blogs that looked more like straight copy and pastes bundled with a bunch of links that are spammer related. The clincher, though was the party-poker.com pop-up links. Needless to say, I’ve blacklisted this guy’s domain. So, hopefully this is not a trend, but likely it is.
