The depths to which automated bots will go to get SEO keywords placed has reached a new low today. While viewing my site stats I noticed the join_success page on my ancient Cougar Club site had fairly high traffic. Upon further inspection, I found over 200 new accounts all generated by some bot. Unfortunately for the bot, none of my registration fields were compatible with linking to anything, so all the processing cycles were for nothing. Whoever developed it must have just took a stab in the dark at fieldnames and sent it on its merry way. I guess this is the future we all knew was coming, but instead of legitimate machine intelligence we just get spam bots.
