Dave did some (manual I guess) "blogspamming" in the past. But serious,
it's not that hard to see that blogspamming *is* easy. I use my own
scripts to handle posts, and check them (I get them by email for now).
So someone was hired to write a script that works with my site. Or maybe
they use a script that guesses based on form field names and type. Maybe
calling the field for URL email and vice versa already makes it much
easier to detect this.

Long ago he did some (manual I guess) comment spamming to promote page
(s) on a (free?) webspace site. I wonder if some pagerank of such sites
goes to the free sites that are under it, maybe. Or just because he
wanted to propate PR from that site to others. It's now his toy site, or
so I guess (remember that SEO expert thread, it included some help from
Stacey IIRC, or was that the "easy" MSN Today SERP)
Anyway, hence the name SEO Dave, he used that on a few blogs, maybe
others as well.
Moreover, http://seo-dumbass-sam.blogspot.com/ shows how far David can
go at times (at least he's the only one I can think of to go that far).
Lets hope that's in the past.

Like a site on a freespace site, but with links to other sites.

Gutted, yeah, in a way. I would not be amused, to say the least.

Pfft, I am glad I have had only a few of those (like 8 in 2 months or
so).
