Last night, the folks at Erimart (IP address 123.127.123.219) were kind enough enough to post 12 different copies of their scam as comments on my original post about it.  And I thought I was getting a lot of traffic from people searching for Erimart before -- this will start matching even more searches.

I was reading MindValley Lab's latest post in my feed reader this morning and noticed a set of 19 very spammy links right after the first paragraph: <div style="left: -2700px; position: absolute; top: -3600px"> <a href="http://www.johnnybrendas.com/wp-content/kamagra/index.html">25mg kamagra</a><br /> <a href="http://www.johnnybrendas.com/wp-content/kamagra/map.html">kamagra</a><br /> <a href="http://www.johnnybrendas.com/wp-content/kamagra/about-kamagra.html">about kamagra</a><br /> <a href="http://www.johnnybrendas.com/wp-content/kamagra/adresse-kamagra-belgique.html">adresse kamagra belgique</a><br /> <a href="http://www.johnnybrendas.com/wp-content/lasix/index.html">12.5mg lasix</a><br /> <a href="http://www.johnnybrendas.com/wp-content/lasix/map.html">lasix</a><br /> <a href="http://www.johnnybrendas.com/wp-content/lasix/200-lasix.html">200 lasix</a><br /> <a href="http://www.johnnybrendas.com/wp-content/propecia/index.html">0 buying propecia</a><br /> <a href="http://www.johnnybrendas.com/wp-content/propecia/map.html">propecia</a><br /> <a href="http://www.johnnybrendas.com/wp-content/propecia/1-4-propecia.html">1 4 propecia</a><br /> <a href="http://www.johnnybrendas.com/wp-content/soma/index.html">0 dreampharmaceuticals online order soma</a><br /> <a href="http://www.johnnybrendas.com/wp-content/soma/map.html">soma</a><br /> <a href="http://www.johnnybrendas.com/wp-content/soma/1-buying-online-soma.html">1 buying online soma</a><br /> <a href="http://www.johnnybrendas.com/wp-content/soma/1-online-soma.html">1 online ...

So what I want ... Keep reading »
