Probably the same type of bot if it helps anyone get ideas.
Gosh this is really such a freaky thing. I just can't imagine this being only for blackhat SEO. It must be something else for so many bots to be posting 6 digits and random text. It can have so many ways of filtering all that information though, and without having much clues it's hard to find what is what.
I thought looking at the smaller ones might make more sense
but haven't gotten any luck. However one thing I did notice is that when you google parts of the messages you can sometimes see that they are injected into other websites as well.
If you consider that some of these may reference messages not on the same date this gets even more complicated to decode, so unless anyone else has something more to go on I don't really know what to say.
It's clearly blackhat SEO for "most" of the message with just some extra words mixed in between as they are found on the page that it links from. As far as the ".xxx" or 6 digits those are still up to question though.
I'm really curious too. I'd love for the whole thing to get some more attention, at least then we might get some definiate answers.
All the tweets are being posted by tweetfeed, which suggests it might just be badly bade spam rather than an encoded message like I thought. Seems to be a stupid amount of energy going into making some very bad spam though.
