Examine this. Found [http://sympatico-interactive.blogspot.com/], which belongs to klelugi and is a splog. Found [http://loquineglupeseo.blogspot.com/2005/02/loquine-glupe-for-today_23.html], which belongs to Brian Nizinksy and a splog. Brian also runs this blog [http://v7ndotcom-elursrebmem-seo.blogspot.com/], another splog. v7ndotcom elursrebmem is an SEO contest [http://www.v7n.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23744]. Try searching on the term v7ndotcom elursrebmem at Google and you'll find 3 million entries. The winner of the SEO contest is the person who will be place #1 on the Google SERP for this odd term. The goal of v7n in running this contest is to put their PageRank thru the roof, as they require all contestants to link to the v7n.com homepage. What this means in the end is a lot of SERP SPAM and splogs. Now, let's go back [http://sympatico-interactive.blogspot.com/]. Found [http://chocoku.darkmioche.com/], which is another landing page for one of these contests. Found [http://tiger-osmose.darkmioche.com/], same. Found [http://v7ndotcom-elursrebmem.darkmioche.com/], same. Found [http://www.taggle.us/erazor], same. Found [http://v7ndotcom-elursrebmem.kult-lab.net/], same. Found [http://v7ndotcom-elursrebmem.grocodile.com/], same. I could go on and on. And each one of these found Webpages contains even more links to contest pages and their own Webpages. There does not appear to be an end to these Websites. Most of the pages are simply faked content. Many of these pages are actually plagiarized content ([http://www.americanshowparis.com/] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com]). And a little research indicates that many of these Websites are also hosting porn [http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aamericanshowparis.com]. I'm not talking half-naked girls here, I'm talking porn. And here's a nice map [http://forum-taggle-map.apocalx.com/]. They hang out on this forum [http://forum.taggle.org/].

It would be interesting to write an agent that would document this rather humongous link cluster.
