Fortunately most of them are getting held by moderation on MT black list but over the weekend I got 195 in one day (and my blog doesn't get anywhere near that much traffic).

A curious point, though - SpamHuntress, you're using WordPress and it has an option to block open or insecure proxies - how well do you find that blocks these types of attacks?

What they are doing/trying to do is link to posts they spammed, something like: "if I spammed this blog now, it is vulnerable and I'll spam it again, so I better try and raise their PageRank by putting some links to it, so that my spamvertising links are more effective".

You should know that if you're into SEO. So it has nothing to do with being asleep. You need to do a different search to find out how many hits you'll find in Google.

BTW:

This is an interesting time to analyze the Link Popularity SERPs of the Majors and their frequency of Updates

It appears that Google has been asleep lately

Since Google Engineers read this Blog - what ALGO Fixes will they institute to prevent honest Webmasters from being Banned or “Demoted” for Google Bowls

of course, your Blog may help a few innocent victims get reinstated - but think of the many who will NOT have an advocate

and with Blog Linking software - the matter may get much worse
