I guess most spammers that do stuff like create 100s of splogs on blogger.com and other places dont have time to create original content... One way of identifying such blogs is for genuine bloggers to use tools such as http://www.copyscape.com and report plagiarism to the search engines.... if a large number of people start doing this, it would at least keep all this content scraping in check.....

Hmm...yeah, i've noticed they've added captcha in the creation/posting process. Smart of them to do this (although i don't think it's quite the level of what one would expect from PHDs and the very smart people Google has hired) and this should hopefully prevent some or the majority of splog spam coming from blogspot.com.

As for the name, I do beleive creating a new name for this has added a more feel to this topic. I mean, we all want to know what "splog" means when we first hear it, don't we? Where as "spam coming from blogspot" would just be the everyday usual stuff you hear or read.

great post. funny thing is when i was first writing about the things in august, i didnt want to use the word. It sounded wrong to me, but i also didnt want to use spam because i thought people would just dismiss it and not pay attention to it.

at least the word splog leads people to ask what they are.

and it seems like google is implementing some new features on blog creation
