I won't whore out a link in this actual post. Anyways, I've noticed something that many seem not to mention or notice. Or perhaps it's a somewhat unique case. But at least for me, the keywords they're spamming are relevant to my site. It's a blackhat/grayhat seo site, and the MSN spam I've been pulling in has been phrases like "blackhat", "niche", and "scripts". All of which are very relevant for my site, and all of which I definitely do not rank for. An interesting development. Awhile ago, I did an article on this on my own blog.
