<description><![CDATA[<p>Yeah, I'll bet there are MANY so-called splogs in that database.  It's not too tough to generate a list of all Blogspot blogs (legit or splogs) and dump them into the database, and that's apparently exactly what was done. There are many legit blogs in that database, so this is not a service, it's a face-slapping against legit bloggers.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>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 :)</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Better don't post too much detail about your findings 'cause the spammers will use your info to  change their spam strategies.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>About "smart spammers", I think AntiSplog is adapting more quickly compared to new splogs techniques.</p>
<p>And as I have already said, I work more on splogs behaviour, rather than techniques. which make it easier to detect more techniques with really small algorythm.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I know Blogger will review them before deleting splogs, but the more accurate your results the better because it will mean less work for them and hopefully faster removal of splogs.</p>
<p>I like the idea of marking unsure on ones you can't determine.  Hopefully you can get that number down, but it is a really good start.</p>
<p>Your other problem is of course that the smarter spammers are going to adapt quickly.  So your detection heuristics are going to have to constantly be adjusted.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I think that currently the number of normal blogs reported as spam is very very small (See the <a href="http://www.phpmagazine.net/28_antisplog_network/archive/942_antisplog_reviewed.html" rel="nofollow">review of Jean Véronis</a>), but anyway reporting to Blogger that not mean that they will be deleted.</p>
<p>Blogger will review manually to be sure they won't delete or take an action against a normal blog.</p>
<p>And yes you are right, currently the number of blogs analyzed is small, in the future a flag will be introduced to review manually the suspected results. Or Antisplog will just return a "Splogability rate" which will help to make difference between the 100% splog and the suspected ones.</p>
<p>I queries the database and currently there is less than 10% of suspected results. Until Antisplog can reduce it to less than 1%</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Other than Blogger and wherever else you submit splogs to, is there going to be some kind of review to make sure no legitimate blogs are caught?</p>
<p>For now the numbers of blogs you are dealing with may be small enough to keep an eye on, but once your crawler is working that isn't going to be possible.  I know you are working to make the filter 100% accurate, but even experienced spam hunters have trouble determining the difference between some splogs and legitimate but strange blogs.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Thanks all for the tests, very helpful !</p>
<p>As you noticed there is some strange behaviours sometimes due to bugs or technique used to detect spam.</p>
<p>@Joe : Its the "keywords" section in your blog that have been detected spammy. You can use the contact link in the top, or the email feedback at antisplog.net</p>
<p>@Michael : www.recruiting.com and your blog www.specht.com.au are both concerned by the same bug, and its fixed now.</p>
<p>www.blogherald.com have a spammy behaviour even if it looks okay, that's why I'm using a safe list of keywords.</p>
<p>The same thing for www.identityblog.com but its a safe list of links.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>It is reporting several blogs as splogs that I know are not.  For example:-<br />
www.specht.com.au/michael (my blog)<br />
www.recruiting.com<br />
www.identityblog.com<br />
www.blogherald.com</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Just want to let you know that your service identifies my blog as a splog.  Due to the methods I use to fight spam my blog can appear very spammy in some ways, but there are also a lot of things that set it apart from the usual blog.</p>
<p>I am interested in this service.  I have some suggestions I would be interested in sharing privately (don't want to give all the secrets out to the spammers).</p>]]></description>
