Fed up with seo sites

It's bad enough the jerks that have auto posting blogs constantly steal little blurbs from sites that contain a link, then they start another sentance immediately after the link and cause 404's have to be dealt with....

WTF is it with these damn seo websites that think they know wtf they are doing!!!!

A perfect example is xxhttp://www.webinformationservice.net

Almost every single week I find more 404's pointing at one site or another....and it's THEIR FAULT!

They take a page, and link to it with a truncated link causing a 404 pointed at me.

LOSERS!

If they can't link to the real page they should not link to anything.....they should be penalized for creating 404's.

I have found more of this going on and some times I think it is done by some of these seowannabe's that are going out and generating bull **** pages with stolen blurbs of content, mostly with horrible grammar and often a mismatch of content from DOZENS of sources all thrown together, making no sense whatsoever....

These pages will have broken 404 links pointing at our sites and then will contain one REAL link pointing at them.....

I found a few pages the past few days and I am not the only victim on those particular pages, and when I have a chance the next few days I will try and make an effort to contact them.

In this particular case they are linking to images, the link is an absolute url to the image, it is in the text on the page, BUT..... the next sentance starts immediately after the link (no space) so an image link will look like this:
http://www.domain.com/images/playtec....pngYou've worked very OR http://www.domain.com/nblcas_125x125...k.gifSubscribe to the

The search engine bots see these as 404's pointing at the sites.

Some say this is no big deal, but I have always tried to take care of 404's.

The fact that these jerks actually think they are doing something useful is aggrivating, and the fact that they steal any content from our sites whatsoever to perform this amazing miracle of seo wonders just plain pisses me off.....

I have not yet determined whether this particular case I discovered today is an seowannabe or the site owner themselves, but once I get past that I will report further.....

The doofus that posted this drivel used a posting handle of flesh5crocus, and I WILL be agressively trying to determine this person's identity.....so if anyone knows them, please point them my way.

Aren't sites supposedly being punished for broken outbound links? Or at least should be soon?
