That said they haven't incorporated Google Ad Sense into Blogger and adding links is still not intuitive so it's hard to say where on their list spam blogs are. Also, an evil person would say that they like the fact that less sophisticated search engines (like Technorati) don't weed out the spam thereby making Google's sophistication that much more of a distinction.

There is all kinds of bullshit business advertisements and they should be shut down. No one really does business through a blospot page anyway.

I can tell you that when Independnent Sources uses Technorati the spam blogs are all over that and when people claim that "a blog is created every second" or whatever stat they are using I'm not sure how much those #s are poluted by the bots.
