    Exactly! I personally don't have a problem with people spamming Google (unless it's in my SERPs when I'll go and report them) but if they start spamming my sites then I'll email everyone possible - their host, Google, domain registrar and ISP

    dude... tell that to any of the millions of people who make their living from the internet. You just lack creativity or work ethic... or possibly both.

    I hope with that you're not inferring that I've PM'ed you? 'If' I wanted to learn anything else about blackhat I'd go to someone who was actually a success and not posting on a forum as his sites kept getting banned ;)

    Besides, like I said, I have no problem with people using blackhat tactics, (though I'll report them if the turn up in my SERPS - just playing 'the game' after all ;) but spamming forums and blogs is about as anti-social as it gets. Like I said, as soon as it happens to any of mine I fire off an email to Google, their host, their domain resistrar and ISP, I suggest others do the same.

    It's a pain to do as you have to go to different souces to find and submit the info.

    You can report sites to Google here -
    http://www.google.com/contact/spamreport.html
    It's not stricly meant to reposrt forum spam etc, but spamming links goes against their webmaster guidelines

    After that I look at their Whois and find the registrar, host and ISP and fire off an email CC'ing them all and including a screenshot of the link and the properties to show the target.

    Hosts usually take action first, especially if they recieve several complaints.

    I've been reported to Adsense, my webhosts, the proxy IPs I use, you name it. Nothing happens. It's not worth your time. Although as you should have inferred from the thread title, mass link spamming isn't something I do much anymore.

    As you know Dave, the blackhat forums are the place to talk. DP is very much anti-blackhat.

    And yes, a lot of "whitehat" SEO's do blackhat stuff, or would be considered blackhat stuff. I know lots of blackhats that do whitehat stuff too. It's the stereotype that BlackHat people only do blackhat and that's it. C'mon, they're (we're :)) a lot smarter then that. Give a little credit.

    It's all relative. Shit, getting links to boost rankings for the search engines could be considered "blackhat". All relative.

    For people that get spammed, um...learn how to use CAPTCHA or another verification type. All of my custom user-generate scripts have some sort of verification, to avoid spam. If you don't want it, educate yourself.

    As for your question, I'm not sure why. Might need to tackle blogs that aren't old or have been updated on a recent basis. Most spammers go after old sites that haven't been posted to in a while, cause they know the link won't get removed. Of course, going after sites that are updated often are more likely to get your spam removed or they'll have some sort of spam prevention in place, so little bit of a catch-22. There are other ways to get links. Think outside the box a little bit.
