They are relentless. I was away for a week and my personal journal is getting about 5-10 spam comments a day. It's ridiculous. These folks don't make the bulk of their money from AdSense. They get big affiliate checks. What Google has been doing is removing them from the rankings, but they are like roaches. They multiply at ridiculous rates.

That is the motivatoin for the spam, so without any profit source, there would be no reason for the spam.

Legislation is so far behind the cyber world. Even if it were to catch up, what I do in Malysia is still not punishable in the US or the Cayman Islands.

Anybody can say any amount of negitive false information they want without any consequences. Then of course, these flames (depending on how determined the person is) can get these flames to show up on google when the company name is inserted into a good search. nice huh?
