The spoils of link-whoring

Following my shameless link-whoring yesterday, Mark Pilgrim responded in a comment and explained how his back-linking works (including a pointer to the script he uses).

His really big post for that day talks (at great length) about weblog comment spam.

Diveintomark back-links

I’m trying to figure out how to get my blog to show up in Mark Pilgrim‘s site further reading on today’s posts section. This is allegedly generated automatically by polling his referrer logs to link back to sites which link to his.

I say allegedly because the extracts he uses appear hand-edited (i.e, they are quotes, not sentence fragments).

Now he’s modified the “further reading” generator to try and work around referrer log spam.

What I suspect is that for a link to show up, it has to be created and visited on the same day as the original post.

So this is really just a test. Like plenty of this blog.

Time Machines and Superworms

Charles Stross summarizes an article about Computing with Time Machines. He also has some interesting comments about Curious Yellow (probably a better link to follow then the one I gave before, to the original article).
