Spammers hidden blog links

I notice that some of the blogs I have reported for porn spamming have changed tact.
Either they were deleted and reregistered within a day or so or have now turned to spam other things
Here is an example http://caoimheb.blogspot.com/
Check the code and you will see lots of hidden links similar to this http://europe-calling-card.pushline.com/p/buy.php?idcountry=240

Mainstream Family sites hiding porn links

Another bug bear is the growing number of expired mainstream domains used to promote pron.The adult serps in google especially are full of expired domains, either with hidden links on otherwise inocuous pages or have porn pages built deep within the structure of a site.
This one has both.
http://www.christopherruncampground.com/ looks a lovely family freindly design.
Now check the source code


Here is another couple from the same stable.

Blog Spammer ready to go.

Have a look at the profile of this blogger.
http://www.blogger.com/profile/17737027
The guy has 50 blogs in one account when us mere mortals can only have a maximun of 10.
Notice all were registered on the 23 jan 2006.All have 1 post on them, the same post.The number 4.
Just coincidentally all 50 sites have a pr of 4.
I suspect that this is the account of someone inside blogger ready to either sell on the black market or to use for themselves.
I have reported this on Matt Cutts blog Matt said that he got that feedback at SES NYC as well and that he'll .."be passing that on to the blogger team".
I just hope it doesn't get passed to the wrong member of the blogger team.
Make no mistake, this isn't the work of someone with no connections to blogger.
What Blogger do when a Blog gets deleted by its owner is just change the password.
You try and register the thousands of blogspot domains that get deleted.

You will find it nigh impossible.
But if you have access to the password then all is possible.The big question is will Blogger investigate thoroughly enough to catch the inside man?
