The Clever thing to do, would be just remove my site from your scripts…
Or you could say hey “I’m linking to a texas holdem site”….. go figure,
I’ve played nice but I could just publish all your footprints, IP addresses and URL’s …
I guess the last thing that the Blog Spammers would like to see is a poacher turn game keeper… your choice :)

Firewall Script I'm going to do a full write up on this, but I have been testing this out on a blog, that's been hacked and DDOS a few times over the last 6 months, why do people feel I want to host their Malware, why don't I just update WP time and effort I guess
Anyway I had been looking for a solution that i can install on a shared box that that I didn't have root access on.
Anyway My test is coming to an end, and I going to try and score a deal on a multiple domain license, or even try and buy a lump of the company lol

Dont´t you use rel=”nofollow” ? :-)
Do you think it would stop them :)
That’s why you drop the right people messages or make your blog spam-proof. Most people who still spam my blog regret it….
Let me guess… you get several hundred msgs per day from a series of anonymous texas hold ‘em related sites? Same has been happening to us - it’s maddening. We’ve sent messages to the company that seems to be behind all of it, have installed a spam filter and comment moderation so that they get nothing out of it… and the spamming has just gotten worse.
Infuriating.
There is a nice plugin for wordpress against trackback spamming :)

Btw, nice Blog, David ;-), but you should update your Wordpress ;-)
i don’t get it.
send a note to the domain owner, mention the domain name that he spammed, he will be probebly stop doing it to this domain.

Yes, Dave, that nofollow thingy will do just the job. I’m actually surprised you are even getting blog spam these days, after it’s been out for months. I understood it would stop all this :)
WordPress is good for dealing with trackback spamming - at least it has a moderation mode, which prevents being published by default - unlike MovableType, which so far forces the blogger into simply publishing all, or disallowing trackbacks. Precisely why I had to take trackbacks off Platinax.
No point chasing the IPs - usually open proxies. I actually keep a record of trackback spam I get for this information alone.
The URLs often redirect eventually anyway. And, as we all know, you can’t prove a third-party redirect has anything to do with the targeted site. :)
Maybe best thing to do is simply 302 or DMCA the domains in question. ;)
nofollow will prevent crawlers to follow all indicated link for a particular page where you put it, so it will work I think.
Nofollow prevents search engines from giving the outbound link ranking for the target site. For the purpose of comment spam, it is irrelevant and useless .
Nofollow links were be followed :D
Example:
<a href=”http://www.linkvendor.com/” title=”neues Tab: Strg+Click neues Fenster:Shift+Click” onclick=”ct(this)” rel=”nofollow”>Linkvendor.com</a>
from http://webmaster-verzeichnis.de/blog/linkvendor-acht-seo-tools-auf-einer-seite/

I hope everything is well with you and your family and relatives. Regarding the issue here, see what DaveW is doing:

Why do people hate blog-spammers so much? A lot of the blog spam I see makes more sense than the blogs they spam :)
A lot of the blog spam I see makes more sense….hahahahaha
Did you enter your own blog in your scripts by mistake?

Like I have any sympathy?
So you’ve been spammed. But you are a spammer…
So, why do I care?
And if you spent some time using the proper plugins for your blog, you wouldn’t get most of it. But you’re more busy spamming sites yourself.
Deal with it.
There ain’t no violins playing for you here.
Having been finally hit by the Poker and Casino comment spam, I’d be perfectly happy to vote a death sentence for this activity. At the least, let me bill them for the time spent dealing with it and adding code to my blogs to block them. Bit WordPress can indeed be configued to block it.
