Okay, well I really don’t want you to send me your spam- but I do what some information from it! I’m putting together a list of the top 100 blog spammers of all time. Here’s how it works:
Every time you receive a spam post on your blog, report the IP address and/or the domain name they want you to visit to me either by replying to this post or via the contact me page. After enough submissions I will figure out who is sending the most spam to us blog owners. I will perform a WHOIS lookup for each domain name and IP address to find out who owns the domain and where their site is hosted. Then, I will post the finalized list- “The Top 100 Spammers of the Blogosphere”.
Once that list is published, we can all use it to send emails to the abuse department of the hosting companies these sites are using. We can also send the spammer some email of our own, when I can locate their email address, telling them what we think of what they’re doing (in so many words). It will also be a great list of IP addresses for us all to add to our .htaccess file to ban them from our blogs altogether.
I have been cracking down on some of the spammers visiting SiteFever over the past few weeks. I must say that this has brought some measure of success. I can track three websites that I know of for sure that have been taken offline because I have reported the matter to their hosting company. On one occasion, I was receiving spam emails from a college student using his university assigned .edu subdomain (what an idiot) to post a bunch of garbage about the prescription drug Cialis. Well, needless to say, after a long talk with the universities technical support department, this guy landed himself in a big mess.
I really think that this list will be beneficial not only to us blog owners but also by putting all the information about these frequent spammers out in the open to expose who they are and what they’re doing. This should help take a few more of them offline and off our blogs.
So the next time you catch spam posts on your blog, be sure to get the IP address and advertised domain name and send it to me! Be on the lookout over the next week or so for the release of “The Top 100 Spammers of the Blogosphere”.
