Splogging for Ontology

The splogs are getting sublimely absurd. A splog, or spam blog, is a fake blog filled with advertising links and/or links to malicious software. In order to create traffic, splogs link to the comments and trackbacks of legitimate blogs using web crawling algorithms. This site, which linked back to a post in which I talked about ontology and creation, is an accidental work of art, given these link titles (do not click on the splog’s links, BTW, unless you want a virus):

“Looking for ONTOLOGY?”
“Get ONTOLOGY here for free!!!”
“Best ONTOLOGY videos!”
“Shopping for ONTOLOGY?”

Hmmm….  What kind of world will I end up in if I follow one of those links?
