Trackback spam

Wow, I had no idea the trackback spam situation was so bad. I decided to check the comments on my site today: no comments. I checked my trackbacks: 555 trackbacks, 554 of them automatically marked as spam. And the other one was spam, too.

In checking the sources, I found one stand out website for sourcing spam links to my site: weebly.com. The site purports to be an easy-to-use blog provider for the non-technical person, but that's not even the start of the story. Weebly.com appears to be the favored starting point of porn spammers. Here are the blogs at weebly that deal with only a specialized porn topic: seven sites all using this specific phrase. Most other blog sites have no hits on this phrase. Looks to me as if this is the preferred location for trackback spammers.
