Yeah, it’s amazing what people will do to get the attention and probably because they aren’t getting enough it that compel them to do so..:-)

They ain’t clever if you ask me…

[...] Comment spammers think they are clever – I too had some trouble with comment spammers when I was just starting out. It was hard for me to distinguish spam comments because they use comments like “I found your blog from xxxx and I found your post interesting”, “I really like your blog” and etc. Their comments seems so real but when you checked out their site, you’ll realize those were just spams. Thank God for Akismet plugin [...]

Hahaha, yes, I’ve seen this crap too man! It’s crazy! They are getting sneaky.

I’ve seen some though, post the same exact comment on other blogs to which I am subscribed to comments! So, I see it in my blog, it’s in the spam, and I leave it there, till I decide if it’s spam. Then I get an email with the same exact comment on a buddies blog! So, he officially get’s spammed!

Hi Joyce!

Pinging is definitely a time saver over SBmarking ‘em and much better than doing nothing. More luv with the SB’s though.

Thanks for the comment Monty..

Hi Keith,

Even I get spam on my two blogs. And I hardly have anything added to them.
And yes they’re not comments but strings of nonsensical words and phrases.
Btw Albeit IS a word.
I’ll have to drop you a line on Facebook and a line to Donna too. I’ve been quite busy.

Yeah, I get tons of SPAM on my phpBay sites of all places. Submitting the commented page is a good idea. I’ll often ping it, but I haven’t submitted it before/

haha yeah, there’s nothing clever about that…geez…maybe there are a lot of people who don’t have any sort of comment spam protection enabled on their blogs so that approach may be effective…thanks Barb

Hey Keith…yeah, I’ve been getting plenty of them. I’ve also got a lot of “nofollow” comments that are literally a mile long; nothing to do with the blog itself. They’re not even kind or rude enough to make a comment…just a mile long list of URL’s…FUN!!!

I’m just guessing, but I believe after marking it as spam a report is sent to Akismet…and that’s all you have to do…anyone know for sure??

And my theory is that…enough people mark something as spam…anything from that URL will be dumped in the spam box…if after awhile there aren’t a significant amount of people that “unspam” it, it will just be purged automatically.

Just a guess…I’m sure I can find the facts if I do a quick Google search…

Thanks for dropping by Mark
