CNet Trackback Spam Is Now Well Underway

I told you people were going to start spamming it. We'll see if CNet's new trackback policy is worth the IT headaches it's going to cause.

I seriously doubt it.

CNet is making spam easy for the spammers.

Here's someone's post on the trackback page for the announcement, the irony kills me. I wonder how much traffic he's getting from that post :) His link is the 7th from the top.

"If you have been looking for valueble inbound link to your blog, you should check out CNET News.com. They now support TrackBack and Pingback. So if you find any interesting story from their site and linking back to them and sends the proper notification to them, you will get a link back in return from CNET News.com.

This will be an easy way to get a quality inbound link.

The irony gets even better cause this guy is a spammer and doesn't even realize he's a spammer. That rocks!
