More on fake blogs

I wanted to post this yesterday but then BT decided that I had been online long enough and my DSL went down. As it was fairly late anyway I decided to go to bed instead of waiting to see if/when it was going to come back again. Hence this update a day late:

Nicole (from Germany, who says no English language blogs link to hers. Which has just changed...) sent me some feedback to my entry about blog referer spamming. She had similar fake blogs in her logfiles and pointed me to an entry on idly.org which has a lot of research and further links about these fake blogs.

Looks like quite a few sites have been hit by this, including milov.nl who also has an entry about the blog snatchers.
