How Google influences spam ….

I’m guessing that the recent spate of spam is thanks to Google’s PageRank update - having awarded this site a reasonably good rank, it’s now attracting spam like flies to honey.

Obviously, Google doesn’t leave out common spam words from their index - and given that the li’l blue pill and others of the ilk are high on the keyword search indices, it’s doubtful if this is going to abate pretty soon.

I’ll have to test out some of the wordpress plug-ins for spam management - but as far as I can see, these aren’t going to be foolproof.
