When it comes to Wordpress blogs & indexation I’ve always gave out the advice that “You know you’re indexed when your blog starts getting spammed“.

The spam has continued in abundance which is a good sign that the blog is being indexed more and more (in a round about false-positive way), and this little one caught my eye…
Are spammers getting more creative? Looks geniune doesn't it!
