Interesting article on splogs:
Clearly almost 3 out of 4 pings are spings! Going back further to the source of these spings, we observed that more than 50% of claimed blogs pinging weblogs.com are splogs.
The problem is they don’t exactly define what they call a splog. Is it any blog that talks about poker or viagra? is it a newsmaster site? How about blogs that are used as TGPs in adult?
If a splog ping is defined as any ping representing neither unique nor interesting content, then I would venture to say that 99% of pings are “splings” or “slogs” or whatever new word Mark Cuban invents for it this week. Sadly, even today’s seoblackhat ping would fall under that umbrella.

It’s a concised term for “Spam Blog”.
