This guy's defining characteristic is that he labels his links "Fan Resource". He showed no sign of slowing down despite warnings, right up until he was blocked by Riana. I'm going to look for more sites, but any chance of resolving his IP so that the bots can possibly get these sites? Videmus Omnia  Talk  23:36, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

IP is the same for all sites except for meagan-good.com which is 209.40.202.21. At least it's fairly easy to programatically resolve websites (requires a Java Development Kit). MER-C 13:34, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

This website, Associated Content,  hosts topical articles submitted by the public. Authors are paid by how many page views they get. Obviously, that gives authors a major incentive to link to their articles. See this editor's history, for example. We now have 481 links to the site, perhaps half are in articles, and they've been added by many different editors. The AC articles themselves are not professionally written, don't have sources, and aren't really suitable as reliable sources, IMO. Do folks have an opinion about links to this site?  ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 20:37, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been evaluating links to this site on a case-to-case basis, and almost always end up removing them.. IMHO, they should probably be blocked in the same way that squidoo.com is blocked.. the method of operation - and the resulting low-quality links on Wikipedia are very much the same..  --Versageek 20:45, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

text:  Please read WP:SPAM, WP:EL, WP:NOT#LINK.  I've checked them all and they are all in violation.  Further, the method of their inclusion alone makes them suspect.  Further, you're commenting from the very same ip block that is doing the spamming. --Ronz 16:53, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Well, I have checked as well, we can see that this is (apparently) one single editor who is performing link-additions only (note: wikipedia defines this as spam, however appropriate the links are (the definition spam has here nothing to do with the content of the site, it is how it is added), and indeed, we are not a linkfarm).  Although the links are pointing to non-commercial information, the site has a strong commercial part (selling CDs).  I would certainly say that these are to be avoided.  Hope this explains (by the way, if your IP-hopping is a problem, please register an account).  --Dirk Beetstra T C 17:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: It's helpful to leave "cookie crumbs" somewhere (i.e., live "http://" links) so that a future linksearch will turn up a record of previous spam. Since these domains may get blacklisted soon, I've taken the liberty of disabling the links here and posting them on the two spammer pages. --A. B. (talk)  12:45, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I won't push too hard, as these links may have value, but with edits like this one this is obvious spam. MER-C 10:01, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I noticed there plenty of links to Associated Content, which "enables everyone to publish their content", meaning that most probably AC is not a reliable source for wikipedia.
Suggestion: Thim all "Associated content" mercilessly (replacing its refs with  ), unless the author has a wikipedia article which states the expertise of the cited author in the area in question. 
Any comments? `'Míkka 17:05, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Also discussed on this page last month.  I tend to agree with you and Versgeek.  It's not really spam most of the time so much as poor judgment by good faith editors. -- SiobhanHansa 18:13, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Based on my experience with ezinearticles and with suite101.com spam, I'm guessing that if you look very deep you'll find the majority of these links were spammed. I haven't done this so I may be wrong, but that was certainly the case with those somewhat similar domains. --A. B. (talk)  02:52, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
