Infinite Loop
Here’s the deal:
Google lists the post on my favorite wordpress plugins as the second hit for my name.
Spammers target this highly visible post for all the spam (about 90% on just this post.) Fortunately, akismet blocks almost all of them.
I have a plugin installed that organizes the dates in my sitemap by the most recent updates. The amount of spam causes the last modified date on the post to be updated regularly.
Google uses this information to repeatedly crawl the aforementioned post, thinking it’s a highly active page.
Positive feedback ensues.
