Antisplog index feeded with 2 milion blogs

Today I paused the AntiSplog spider at 2,056,958 Blog. Frist I was going to study the behaviour on 1 million then I keep it running for the second million since it didn't took long time. But I needed to stop it for technical reasons, to let me finish studying more cases and run the filter on the indexed blogs.

The two milion blogs have been collected in about 4 (four) days, and there is a special charecteristics for this sample that I'll talk more about it in the future. Because I envisage that a large percentage of this sample will be splogs.

I thought that I could run the filter within one week, but I think it will take some more time. The sample is larger than my first prediction, and it's more representative of real blogging activities in all over the world. But It's already a good step to track splogs.

Better don't post too much detail about your findings 'cause the spammers will use your info to change their spam strategies.

We are aware about this, you can find only posts about the progress of AntiSplog but not about the techniques being used here. And spammers are "innovating" with or without antisplog. Also if they use this service they will be tracked more easily :)
