rare pattern thoughts in a blog

First you pull in multiple RSS feeds. Then you mix thoroughly until you have a mishmash of keyword phrases. Bake at 350 degrees and post to spam site.

This one I discovered during a vanity search on Technorati: conferencing [dash] solution [dot ] biz [slash]conferencingonlinephone/?p=2 (no linky goodness for spammers). The "post" appeared with my name, so of course I had to go look.

What kills me is that these nefarious types must get results from these and other underhanded tactics, or else they wouldn't do it ... right? So who's following the spam parade? Who's clicking through? Who's buying???

Obviously, "just say no" doesn't work.
