I hate nothing more than showing up on a forum article by Turkish spammers about how to get backlinks. Clearly they’re well behind the times, as not only are all my blogs nofollow, but also I delete spam with vigour. The article in question (run through Google translate) says roughly:
5 ** 6 ** 6 PR 2 PR 10 Backlink PR4 and More

Yeah, no. Saying “thanks” and spamming your link is not enough you morons. Stop spamming. For those interested, the signatures in the logs vary, it’s not particularly easy to block this kind of spam, since human are submitting it manually. You could slowly start banning referrers from known sites:

It’s too bad that Wordpress plugin and theme authors appear to be specifically targeted, as we’re generally a very spam-hating crowd.
