I don't think that Technorati will do that because it will have a very big effect on the blogging community.

As for my pages, Technorati ranks #1 in spam-link-scams by jerks who want to increase their pings to generate Ad revenue. Bots create blogs all too easily, and I suspect a "real" person is by the comp only to fill in the captchka. Should we bring back the Guillotine?

I know it's way late to be commenting on this post, but I'm hoping the turkeys at Technorati might read it. I'm gettin' pissed at these goody-two shoes linkhogs:Here's a letter I emailed to Technorati, which they will probably never read anyway:
Splog cleaning? I'm not trying to be a wise guy, but what the hell is wrong with you people? Regardless of what this URL tells you:
http://technorati.com/blogs...

Technorati DOES have my blog which is NOT a spam blog and I am getting "Blog Reactions" while other sploggers, like Revellian.com and mariuca.blogspot.com push software guaranteed to boost and manipulate technorati rankings and social bookmarking links... it isn't fair and it cheapens your image, the same way including "MySpace" pages as "blogs" brought you down a peg: here is the URL for the software scam:

We have been doing a massive spam cleanup, as we discussed on the Technorati blog:

Thanks for noticing! I hope that you've seen a difference...

The number of blogs cited in t'rati's stats is for a window of time (6 months?). As time progresses, if you don't add new blogs at the rate you drop them (as the window slides), your count will go down.

Google's Adsense would be the #1 purpose for spamblogs. If you're paid pennies per view, and you can attract a high number of views for content that isn't yours, it's a great ROI. The more spam blogs and ads you create, the more money you would make.

Alternatively, you could have a secondary, partially legitimate, revenue-creating business that you could advertise on the spam blogs and make money there.

But... I'm no expert at it.

At the risk of sounding ignorant, what's the benefit of creating a spam blog? Is it to create marketing for something? Lure in users to see ads?
