Some of you might know this already but for those who don't…MySpace launched msplinks.com a few months ago - an effort to track and curb spammy links.

MySpace reveals that the purpose of msplinks is to track and filter outgoing links as well as any embedded content in the comments sections. The owner of Msplinks.com is Mark Monitor which offers fraud prevention service.

Outgoing links are being converted to a very long url. Eg. www.msplinks.com/kjladksjklalkdjalksjdaksdjhjf$ to help in tracking. Msplinks links are being applied specifically to the comments section and this means that MySpace is serious in combating comment spamming which is a common problem. Only future links will be filtered by msplinks - backdated links will not be affected.

A big congrats to MySpace for making an effort to combat comment spam
