Splogs

by on Oct 17, 2005. Filed under Extras

Splogs are spam blogs, blogs that exist solely for fooling search engines about the popularity and relevance of certain sites. Now there is a search engines geared toward searching just splogs: Splogspot. I am not sure when you would want to use it except perhaps when trying to show someone an example of a spam blog. Nonetheless, I thought I’d post a link just as an example of the types of specialized search engines that exist these days.
