SearchGuild Unknowingly Comment Spamming

posted on January 3, 2007


I’m always curious as to the junk that gets caught up in my comment filter. Today, I discovered an interesting attempt to get a comment published.

It appears that comment spammers are taking advantage of a script at Search Guild, that allows you to use their domain for redirects.

Here’s an example of how it works…

Now imagine that but with a site suggesting I need some assistance in the growth of a certain appendage. ;-)

P.S. I’m in no way suggesting that Search Guild is behind this.

    I am a regular reader of Search Guild (going by the name of Burger Man). I am sure that no intention was meant. I think that the script is to reduce spamming of the search guild forum itself. I have mentioned it to the Search Guild’s owner, so if it is an issue then hopefully something will be done to fix it.
