It seems like web spammers are learning a few new tricks. In any case, I stumbled upon links to myself that come from a WordPress blog consisting only of wild HTML snippets that seem to have been created due to searches for "house" - and then in the blogroll of the blog are various typical junk sites. So it could be that spammers are now building pseudo-sites with links and content that are supposed to flood the search indexes of systems like Technorati or the ping services.
Oh, and the Texas-Holdem guys have also learned a few new tricks - the URLs now have more changing server names and file names so that normal keyword filters no longer work quite as well and I am more often presented with spam for moderation - for a long time the stuff went directly into the trash because the guys were really too stupid ...
Annoying bunch.
