In the online world a blacklist refers to those people who have been marked as responsible for generating spam blogs in a very big way. Blacklists are also known as blocklists.

These blacklists won't work. There are thousands of PR firms out there, each under a great deal of pressure from their clients. Pitch blasting is also a waste of time. I often refer to my own PR colleagues as flacks. The way most of them work gives the entire industry a bad rap. Then again, the way a few bloggers act doesn't help the situation either. Both industries need more education and I think things will improve as blogging continues to grow. I couldn’t agree with you more. These blacklists won’t work.
