After a few weeks of monitoring our trackback spam, I've found that two posts get the lion's share of sping: The oringal post on the topic, "Typepad Trackback Spam out of Control" and a recent post on Yahoo's new homepage, "More Sparring in the Search Wars: Yahoo Unveils New Homepage."
I'm not sure what it is about these two posts that makes spammers fall so madly in love, but each post was spinged nearly a dozen times over the weekend.
Needless to say, trackbacks on that post are officially off now. But feel free to comment if (a) you're an actual human being and (b) you've got any insight as to why these are so darned attractive.
Trackbacks are attractive because of the links... Basically, you get a free link back tou your website by a trackback thus using it as potentially strong SEO technique.
