Looks like the next blog button has been fixified. (I haven't experimented myself, but Philipp at Google Blogoscoped has.)

Island Dave follows up on [the] analysis of the blog to splog (spam blog) ratio on Google’s Blogspot, and – as he now finds zero splogs upon checking 140 seemingly random blogs.

Sounds good. Maybe in tandem with the controversial flag button there's some changes being made? Have a bit of a click-through and let me know what you find!!

Update 9/9: Randy at the RSS Blog reports that the splog war has opened up on another front. As well as flagging & limiting the exposure of these suspect URL's, Google is pulling their adsense. No point in splogging if you can't get paid!!
