Referrer spam lives again

I saw a bunch of referrals from a site called globoads.com, who aren’t worthy of a proper link. Any site with “ads” in the domain instantly triggers my spider sense, that always tingles when there’s a spammer lurking near. That, and Privoxy blocks any hostname containing “ads.”

Went there to have a look. Yup, it’s an el-cheapo site for personals and shady job offers. Fucking spammer. I’m guessing the blogosphere will rip them a new one and drag what little reputation they may have in the dust.

    Not only in weblogs referrer spamming is a problem, it’s even more worse in guestbooks.
