I just figured all these spammers don’t do it for our valuable clicks, but because being linked from here is good for their google page ranks.
Their spam posts only need to be up long enough for a web crawler to come along and they already gained something.
Evil bastards.
Ah, I seem to recall a week or so ago that someone made their first post here in JC in a seemingly random thread – and they had a link in their signature. I thought they were a spammer, but I wasn’t 100% sure, so I didn’t do anything.
Now it all makes sense.
They want our link juice. Maybe Gilby can put a nofollow on links in sigs?
Or maybe not – I’m a little confused.
