Cool quote at Signal vs. Noise.

Anyone else getting bizarre incoming links to their WordPress blog?
Believe it or not, I still sometimes check the stats on this blog. This time I noticed that I had two incoming links from blogs NOT on my blogroll, Poker News and Hottags. These are known as “scrapers”. They scrape the content on other blogs and publish it on another site (typically another blog). Generally, though, they do it to popular blogs and pass off the content as their own (for search engine rankings). These, however, linked back to my blog as the source.
The catch: they were covered in Google Ads. I suppose the idea is to have these bots quote smaller blogs, talk them up (they repeatedly said how great my post was), and link to them, hoping the author will follow the backlink and click the Google Ads. Seems kinda weak, but if they get enough people to click, they have a profitable scam on their hands.
Shady.
Seth Godin posted about Brand Tags today. It’s kind of neat (I’m sure Jessie will especially like it). You’re asked to give a one word or phrase response to a brand. Then you get to see what others said.
Then I saw Comcast on the list. My sentiments exactly.
