Submit a splog All the hoopla about “Splogs” has people taking notice. In a perfect world, I love the idea of a “spam blog blacklist” but can you imagine the headache of maintaining one of these lists?

what is so evil about splogs? The better ones add a bit of content that could be usefull to someone searching for it and give the splogger valuable one-way links to the site he is promoting. I see them as far less spammy than the auto-comment programs spamming the comment section on regular blogs. That can make a person’s blog almost unreadable or cause the blogger to waste time deleting the comments that have been posted.
@DarwinFish I am hoping you are a troll, but if not: Splogs are awful because they spread lies and false testimonial. Most of them are made to either sell a spammy product, or to get someone to fill out a spammy CPA offer. Often, this is done by making up a persona, as well as making up a story about how the product miraculously cured them. They are filling the internet with nonsense and it is hard to keep away from them.
