[Strangely Perfect] As for my website here, the recent referrer back-links are now gone as they made me look like a pointer to bad sites, and I’m not. Whether it’s possible for this sub-domain behaviour to be blocked, probably depends on the website owners, as it’s not the browser’s fault.

[JMorris Online] Blog Comment Spam Goes Pro | James Morris Online: EDIT: Akismet did just block one of the attempts from this app, however, the attempt came from the same IP with the same email and website URL as the initial attempts I marked as spam.

[Holy Shmoly!] How to successfully spam blogs (and how to fight back): Lately what I did was remove the links out of a spammer’s bot comments so that my site would rank for his keywords (Not that I was interested in them, but to spite him) Of course the bot interpreted it as an open blog so I received a bunch from the same source immediately after so I had to blacklist it.

[SEOmoz Daily SEO Blog] SEOmoz | Analytics Spam - Coming To An Internet Near You!: Referrer URL spamming is one of the first blackhat things I came across and learned about in the late 90's and it still works today to some extent.
