Referer Spam Rant

Well, my blog got hit with the first bit of spam, and it's an odd one at that.  I just quickly went to my referrer logs for my lunchtime checkup, and I found pages and pages (probably 4 or 5 pages straight) of referrers from a site in the .uk.  The referring url was a CV (resume) of someone overseas.

If this is a way to get his url out, it worked.  I followed it and looked at his resume.  I then made sure to email him and let him know that I will match the CV against every application I review, and make sure we do not hire a spammer.  If for some odd reason he thought I was a point of employment for him, a comment from my blog would have been MUCH more appropriate.

Maybe I'm off base here.  Maybe next time I am looking for employment, I should spam my resume url to a number of blogs and cross my fingers.  I think I'll end up on the higher road, though.
