Is SplogSplot (Splog Detection Site) Dead?… I Hope Not
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkSaturday, January 19, 2008
SplogSpot is service that keeps track of spam blogs or Splogs. The splogspot spam database can be queried by using the SplogSpot API. A nice idea. Is the service appears to be dead since March 2007?
The recently updated splog dump from SplogSpot has the latest entry from 20th March 2007:
Casino Club Las Vegas - 07:45 pm 20/03/2007 GMT
Even the API doesn’t appear to be functioning. When I check the first url in the recently updated dump ( https://splogspot.com/api?url=https://www.casinoclublasvegas.com/ ), it shows it as non-splog. Checking first few entries gives the same results.
The weekly splog dump directory doesn’t have any data either.
Any idea on the state of SplogSpot? I would be willing to take up this thankless job if the original owner is not able to devote the time.

Splogs are the scourge of the blogsphere! I certainly hope Splogspot isn’t dead, or if it is I hope someone will start a similar service! |
