Google Blogspot used to promote porn on SE

With a free access of unlimited blogs it was sure some nasty peoples will use-it to promote illicit for-profit porn sites. Here the story by Wired.

All the links to thoses examples blogs, in the story, are now out but if you made a search in Google like this one you should see one in first position. They created around 80 blogs heavily cross-linked and they are there since january. That a real exemple of black-hat SEO!

Update: Worst then I was thinking !!! More than 400 sites fully indexed in Blogspot alone and 3,680 other pages waiting to be fully indexed !

Update published August 6: Wired receive a response from Cyberquest.

Meanwhile, Google, which owns Blogger, the tool that runs Blogspot, has also taken action and is disabling as many of the blogs created by the CyberQuest affiliate as it can find.


Still 4,050 results, that 30 less from yesterday. Seem many other guys have done the same !
