- howdesign, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Blogs and social bookmarking sites are being used dubiously to promote all sorts of things on the net (including artists and illustrators). While these aren't scams, the number of them and the "fakeness" can be startling, as the article below demonstrates. While nothing new I suppose, it's still something to be aware of.

Even worse, Google doesn't seem to be doing anything about it. But why should they? Splogs and domain-squatting AdWord farms provided almost 50% of Google's revenue. - thefat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2original submission
