The comment spam battle was short-lived with the nuclear effect of Jay Allen's MT-Blacklist. The peace was short-lived also, with this new phenomenon (the link IS safe):
It appears that these sites, using a clean little weblog as a front, are hosting a large amount of porn. I do not recommend visiting the above URL and I would suggest that if you do, you should disable Javascript as then the page is just rendered in text without strobing gif nakedness.
It seems like it should be possible to enable MT-Blacklist to filter out trackbacks as well. It would be a major shame for this kind of activity to warp google to the point where every honest query returns a list of raunchy adult sites.
They’re attempting to increase the Google Juice of the main page of the site by spamming people’s referrers, and thereby increase the juice of the adult-webcam page. Currently, the sites have little or no juice, but they’ve only been at it for a little while.
