Since Greentime is supported in (a very, very tiny) part by Google Ads, we
did not feel right installing Akismet to handle our spam for us.  I've
gotten pretty good at weeding through Greentime's spam, but I came across
something I haven't seen before.

It looks like someone's trying to spam via a trackback.  The person or
thing in question seems to have set up a blog that does nothing but scrape
the subject line and an except of the body from other blogs, then link to
them.  The blog is covered with ads, so I'm guessing the idea is that
people will approve the trackbacks and then there will be lots of inbound
links to the ad-laden blog.

The blog in question is at http://apartment.wpbloggers.com/

Has anyone else seen this sort of thing before?
