More link dumping tech:
From threadwatch (nice find Nick), we have Brian at platinax revealing that trackback spammers have circumvented the Typpad no-follow tag.
However, as Seth’s blog indicates, if trackback spamming can not simply overcome basic automatic safeguards from SixApart, and also ensure they remain published on active blogs, then we may yet see the already serious problem of trackback spamming enter new levels of aggression.
Sounds like a call to action. Not to fix the weakness - but to exploit it! Even if they fix the problem, the dead blogs and people who don’t update will still be be handing out free links.
There may be more to it, but apparently only the first URL in a particular trackback has the nofollow tag.
Let’s assume we build an automated trackback spammer, and spam tons of sites. It should work to create backlinks that help SERPs for at least the next 6 months – probably longer. But even if Google decides to penalize sites for having links in spam-littered trackback sections, it just means we’ll have another Googlebowling weapon.
If your looking at tackling this project (or just curious), this Interview with a link spammer article is a nice read.
