David Mihm Rocks - Wordpress Spam Injection Sucks

I happened to stop by Mihmorandum, the blog of Portland Oregon Website Designer David Mihm and David solved a problem I didn’t know I had.

WordPress Spam Injection = Google Penalty for My Blog (But Not Website)

LinksHog (Nate Figueroa) Thinks I'm a Plastic Surgeon

A company who’s domain is linkshog.com

• The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas film

has been spamming my clients. Here’s why I call it spam versus just unsolicited email (I’m not averse to well done unsolicited email).

1. They clearly have no human review

4. They’re offering inclusion in some sort of link-network (clearly not good SEO)
