A friend of mine just sent me this message… and it looks like one of those places that needs to stop existing.

Here is one of the “tools” being used to create a hell of a mess out there. Can they do this legally, I think they can. They are providing a “gun” it's up to the user to shoot it or not. Pretty sucky. Nasty little tool here, its one of the ways spammers can create 1000's of posts to 1000's of different spam blogs at blogger instantly all from this webform.You give it a list of urls and some keywords, and it scrapes post content from the list of urls and automatically takes the relevant keywords and links them back to YOUR site.So you not only get the keyword link backs, but you get credit for the content others create, all automatically…
