Scary Spamming

Matt gives an instance of spammers hacking blogs to do what they do. They not only modified the posts, but hid the modifications so that they cannot be discovered. Clever, but still evil! The reason why they do such things is because they can gain linklove. I wonder if search engines can, and I really don’t know how, identify these spam links and not credit them. Maybe search engines can get wary of new sites with a lot of linklove in a really short time. I think that is the only solution that will demotivate the spammers.
