Pranam noticed the “by at Google” marker for splogs. I just saw a “by at Feedster” one, also.

I tried another splog bait post on The Splog Blog. I thought it would be quickly picked up by splogs, but it has not been used by any! My conclusion is that splog generating systems use Google or Feedster relevance searches to find posts to plagiarize. The original splog bait posts were on the ebiquity site which enjoys a high ranking, unlike The Splog Blog.
