The Sun King becomes the Spam King?
You would have thought, wouldn't you, that the Murdoch press in Australia - what with having published the IT News section of The Australian years before most people had even heard of IT - would want to avoid being identified as a generator of comment spam, but no, they've just hit this blog with a self-serving puff for a piece on the Asus Eee PC. I imagine we'll be receiving regular visits from their software agents in future, which we'll almost certainly block, but this one we let through. As evidence.

Going by the links out there it would appear that Joanna has been out trawling the interwebs looking for other Australian sites that have mentioned the ASUS Eee PC to post some links to add some Google Juice to news.com.au.
I would suggest to Joanna from news.com.au to lookup Reciprocal Links if you are going to trawl the internet just to post links to your content without returning the favour such as 'You can also read the review that Charles Write from the Bleeding Edge Blog wrote for ITWire to read some more in depth analysis of the ASUS Eee PC.
If the news.com.au site is not prepared to link to sites outside of there own with some 'reciprocal link love' you will find news.com.au being flagged as a comment spam in more places than just the Bleeding Edge.
Cheers,
Stephen
