How To Defeat OS's Spam Links

Rate: 8 Flag


As I blogged yesterday, you may have noticed your page link categories renamed to "My Links" and some nifty spam links embedded at the top. No word from OS yet on how or why this is happenning. After cleaning up my links sections, within hours two of my categories had been renamed once again and spam links re-inserted. As others have pointed out, worst part is these links look like the blogger has placed them there and endorses whatever advertised product is listed.

But if we can't prevent their placement we can prevent their usefulness by redirecting the embedded link to the website of our choice, say, your OS blog home page or www.tinkspornparadise.com if you so desire. First find the Edit Links hyperlink at the bottom.

Next edit the offending link (the page jumps back to the top after selecting a link so you might have to scroll back down if you have a long list).



You'll see a weird Google url.



Replace that with the address of your choice. In this case http://eatme.com





Then just click "Save Changes" and you're done! I don't know yet if renaming the link alias will stick or not. I renamed another Amazon link to "Pull My Finger". We'll see what sort of commotion that causes. All I can say is if I'm going to be forced to carry spam, it's going to be spam of my own choice!

I have not yet begun to fight! Oh wait... yes, I have :)
Harry - why bother? Just go to Our Salon and forget this place.

Cheshyre, I am gonna do that if they come again. Imagine my sister has no links and they added her an unknown web making link. This is awful, thank you for the info, but something must be done!
I'm there already, Mark, but I cannot ignore what I have here.

General apathy (a great character name btw) by users means OS will continue this practice, Stathi
One of the Amazon best sellers links goes to Amazon. I wonder if they know about this. I think I'll send them all to my class assignment web page. It can use the traffic.
Okay, just edited my links. Let's see how long it lasts...
I'm calling for a boycott of Amazon and Bluehost to get to the point. This is so pathetic it doesn't deserve a more diplomatic approach.

I just removed all my links! Fuck em!!!
Zach, not sure what can be effective.

I did that and they just reappeared a few hours later, Tink. Fucking them best way I can! Love to hear any suggestions.
No, no, I mean, I deleted ALL THE LINKS!!!! Including mine!! All I have now is salon.com!! Till they fix it or explain it, I ain't putting my great links(Tinkspornsitesoftheday.com) up so Amazon.com can make dollar ninety five off of me!! Fuck em!! And the donkey they rode in on!!! :D
Theoretically speaking, if you have any alt IDs you might want to check them too ;)
My "imaginary friends" are safe, no links!! ;)
