Spam Diaries Again
Thu Apr 23 2009

In the past few weeks we've been alerted to an incredible number of spam diaries again. These diaries sign up for the express purpose of posting links to other sites, sometimes with various irrelevant keywords.

To be honest, I don't get it. The Google ranking they'll achieve as a result of being on here with irrelevant keywords, descriptions and content is negligable. But still they come.

And so I have switched off new user signups for now until I can come up with a suitable answer.

Apologies for the inconvenience this causes!

Steve.

    Yes there is nothing worse than clicking on a diary that looks like it will be an interesting read only to find it out to be a commercial in disguise. Bravo!

    do these have something to do with those search engines that if you click on certain words you get money?? I hope you can figure a way to keep them out..!!!
    They have to pay for their search engines and from what I've heard is a part of Paypal enterprise..

    Maybe that's how my whole diary got screwed up somehow. I also paid for a premium diary and it never showed up! Can you help me?
