Blogdex spammed

30th November 2002

Uh oh, looks like Blogdex has been spammed. At the time of writing a whole bunch of the links positioned at "12" were "PremiumDomains—www.somedomainhere.com—DOMAINS FOR SALE". This is a worrying precedent—many of the services we bloggers thrive upon such as weblogs.com, blogdex and others are easy targets for spammers thanks to the open nature of the service they provide.
