Anybody else getting this with their blog? My incoming links have suddenly become populated by lots of sites like this one, which looks awfully like a splog to me. Very annoying.

Yes, there’s about 20 of them that follow me. Fortunately the new WP installation places the trackbacks straight into spam for me.
Getting a lot of it with itm? Most seem to be getting caught by the spam guard, though. Yeah, annoying.
I wouldn’t mind if it didn’t clog up the “incoming links” bit of the wordpress dashboard.
I like the word “splog”. I had not heard it before.
Not too many yet, but it’s growing. Don’t see it much on the incoming links (I don’t use trackbacks), but it’s annoying when I find my own texts in these splogs when tracking/searching for new ideas for the topic of my blog. And the obvious Google duplicate content penalty concern.
