I was doing a little site maintenance a bit ago, and saw that there was a new Trackback for one of our older articles. Checking it out, it turned out to be a link for an online casino. Naturally, I deleted it. We don’t do the whole Spam thing here at Wetwired, and our logic is simple- if you want to advertise on our site, you need to cough up the cash.

Pretty simple, I’d think.

As I deleted that, I noticed that the Junk Trackbacks list had some items in it. MovableType, as one of its features, filters out trackbacks that are considered Spam. I opened the folder… to find 2412 junk trackbacks. Interested in this, I took a look at the listed items before I deleted them all.

Apparently, the online casino websites are doing well in terms of getting other blogs to talk about them. Not only that, but the cheap boner pill market is a popular subject. Mind you, we’ve never discussed EITHER ONE OF THESE on Wetwired before.

Or maybe, we have. Maybe subliminally when I was discussing the 2004 NLCS Champions one day I was really talking about cheap Viagra pills sold online. When Pylorns was discussing his top 5 movies he was really alluding more to being able to gamble online. Yeah, that’s gotta be it, right?

Out.
