Other findings of this research showed the spam percentages for Top-Level Domains (TLDs):

* 68% of .info TLDs are spam
* 53% of .biz TLDs are spam
* 12% of .net TLDs are spam
* 11% of .org TLDs are spam
* 4.1% of .com TLDs are spam


Good info to have...

What is deemed as spam? A site that uses the domain to send spam? Or the millions of parked domains with google links. And if these numbers are so easy to identify cant we just shut it down? This has got to be a rough estimate at best.

It's pretty much accepted as fact that blogspot is the home of most spam blogs, since the signup process is so relaxed. But it's tough to generalize to reach useful or interesting conclusions. Dave Sifry does a lot of talking about this, and since Technorati deals with this issue on a daily basis he is in a position to know a lot about it. The algorithm used to make that determination for Technorati is just as important a trade secret as PageRank was to Google for all these years.
