AntiSplog.net blog launched
AntiSplog beta 1.0 have been launched to study and provide a solution to spam blogs. After launching the services we create this blog to talk about this new solution, the idea behind it, how we could use it and improve it so we can fight efficiently splogs.
What is AntiSplog
AntiSplog is a Spam blogs database which is based on an automated testing process. AntiSplog try to analyze blog content and detect different type of blogs spams. The information are recorded in database to be accessible online via a simple interface actually, that we'll extend later with more functionalities.
How to use AntiSplog
To use antisplog you can point a blog URI to
http://www.antisplog.net/check/phpmagazine.net
Where phpmagazine.net is the blog that we're trying to check.
Antisplog system will return :
1 : if the blog is detected as a SPLOG
0 : if not.
3 : if the URL don't open due to a DNS error, 404 error ... etc
There is also a bookmarklet actually available that you can add to your Bookmarks Toolbar Folder and automaticly check the splogability while visiting a Blog. The result will be as follow
"AntiSplog" if the Blog isn't detected as Splog
"I am Splog" if the Blog is detected as Splogger
Of course the service is still in beta and it could possibly return incorrect result for some special case that haven't been implemented, we're working to detect these cases and adding them thanks to your feedbacks. But the current algorythm work fine on a large list of blogs that we have tested.
