There's a new term on the internet - and it is drawing shudders from webmasters, website owners and surfers on the Web.  The term is called Splog - and no, it is not a cousin of the unsolicited email / processed meat product.  It is more like a mutated baby given birth through the act of spamming and blogging.  Sounds exciting doesn't it?  However, splogs are starting to litter the internet, and are becoming as much a nuisance as spamming and blogging ever was.

What is being done is that "sploggers" are posting links to their business on blogs (blogging);  However, since certain technologies were developed to keep blogging from happening so easily, now these same links are are showing up on the blogs with irrelevant post comments.  By making a comment, the sploggers can leave a link to their website, which are usually related to online medications, pharmacies, pornography and online casinos.

However, to give the online casinos the benefit of the doubt, many of these splogs are being pushed over by third party affiliates not employed by the casinos.  The problem is so severe there is really no way, or rather, no time to police all of the sploggers currently online.  The sad thing is that the blogs which truly have unique, and many time, heart-warming information, are being littered with phrases like, "I agree with what you are saying - Comment left by Online Casino"  It is really bad when some of these splogs show a blatant disregard to the subject that is really being talked about on the blog.

However, those with blogs should not give up hope yet, for large search engines like Google are currently developing cutting-edge software that will keep even the sploggers from giving a bad name to online casinos.
