Spam Poison

As I was on the blog "Buckfast for breakfast" (on the blogroll) I was looking for some html accessories for this blog. I came across a button that said "spam poison" on it. It sounded cool so I clicked on it (lostfanvanjellies22 does not condone clicking on random buttons). It was a link to this site. I thought it was an ingenious idea! NO MORE BOTS! YAY!

But I went back later and said ... "Wait a minute. Bots? Spiders? Crawlers on my blog? Do they even exist? I'm pretty sure they do but whether they do or not, if you look closely at both of the codes they are actually just links to the spam poison page! They do not have any significance at all. They're just links!

But maybe the "bots" go to these links rather than searching your blog? that might explain the 10 million hits it's getting on a daily basis!
In my opinion - this is just a link. Nothing More. If any of you know about these things and/or if they work or not, or even if you have more buttons to share you know what to do! E-mail me!

P.S. I am leaving it on the sidebar because

  1. It looks cool.
  2. It might work.
