Spam In A Can

Fuck I hate spam, for you old folks, I am not refferring to that overly saltly horse meat in a can. I am talking about the never ending tide of people hawking the penis pills, diplomas and overseas casinos. Fine, I have accepted the fact we get junk mail, I don’t even see the subject in my inbox anymore, I delete them so fast. But whats really gotten my goat lately is these fucknuts attacking my site. First it was spamming my comments with their website urls, so I disable comments after a week or so, and banned their IPs from commenting. Now its them spamming my REFERRERS page! Fine, I upgraded the script (luckily the folks at textism.com were aware of this already), working the php to prevent mass fake refferers, dumping my database, yadda yadda yadda. Then I banned them from reffering AND from ever visiting my site. Fine. Right. Wrong. Apparently my site (a solid 6/10 google page rank) is high enough in google where people are creating FAKE sites of with MY NAME as the keywords! Take a look at a simple google seach for my name…

So I looked more into this and found a bunch of other sites being affected like these: site, site, site, site, site, site, site, site all from a simple google seach. It seem that this program Referrer Advertising System 2004 (yes, someone wrote a program to do this) was responsible
