Philippines: Blogmobbed

Categories: East Asia, Philippines

Filipino bloggers go after an accused “splogger,” [1] i.e. someone who sets up a network of blogs that contain plagiarized content in order to draw traffic for Adsense dollars. Apparently, one of his tactics was to critique high-traffic bloggers so that supporters and friends would link to his site while defending those bloggers. The victims’ response? Argue back but not link to the splogger. Read Sassy Lawyer [2], Manuel Viloria [3] or Yuga [4] if you're interested.
