I’m so tired of trackback spam. The online poker sites are the worst of the lot. A trackback is intended to say that someone has linked to my weblog. They have written something and put a link in their blog referencing my blog. The trackback then shows up as a comment on my site giving a link back to the person who referenced me. The trackback spam is just bogus trackbacks intended to put a link in the comments for a particular post back to the online poker site. Well, I’ve been getting anywhere from five to ten of these trackback spam messages a day. I’m tired of deleting them. So, for the time being, I’ve turned off trackbacks. Sometime in the future when the online gambling sites have forgotten about me, I’ll turn them back on (maybe). Why is it that these places take something good and turn it into crap?
