Both of us are reasonable interested in technology, me (Tony) especially since I work in Information Technology and love to try and keep up to date with what is happening in the world.

2011 Brings New Waves Of Link Spam – Use WOT To Help Pay It Back

Almost everyone who has a blog or web site these days, who writes articles or creates pages on sites like Squidoo etc, will be familiar with what is commonly called Link Spamming. For those of you who are unfamiliar, I am sure you have seen comments on articles that advertise shopping sites, where to get Viagra, get rich quick schemes or dating sites etc. These comments are almost always completely unrelated to the content of the original article, and the creators try to get backlinks to them by adding them to Guestbooks and Comment boxes wherever they can.
