I feel your pain.

Posted by Tipa in MMOs, World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft is a name of power. It summons spam blogscrapers from the mist-filled depths where they lurk, waiting for someone of the mortal world to summon them forth. World of Warcraft. Their noses twitch, their ghastly bone spines quiver, the hunt begins.

I feel most sorry for the WoW bloggers who have to deal with them every hour of every day.

    I’ve been getting some spam recently as well, ones that get through the wordpress provided filter. I’m sure it will be fixed shortly, but it sure is a pain.

    Well, good that I do not play and seldom write something about that game…

    It’s so hard NOT to talk about the game. Even though I don’t play it, it’s impossible to just ignore.

    Well, good thing I use blogger, as I see none of this scraping…and my traffic is pretty decent also…

    Hmm, I better get to West Karana numbers…hehe…I need some scrape love!

    It’s just hilarious watching all the trackbacks and pings from Warcraft spam blog scrapers for THIS ARTICLE come in.

    Edge, count yourself lucky. Maybe Blogger stops them. Maybe if WordPress hosted this blog, they’d stop them for me. I’m just happy that Akismet catches most of them, but a couple have gotten through.

    Hmmm… I think I see a solution. Eureka!

    Akismet is such an amazing tool. I couldn’t blog without it. <3
