I’ve been updating my blog more lately and that means one thing for sure: comment spam. Fortunately, the spam filter catches about 99% of it but there are some that wind up in the zone between spam and comments and I have to review them. They’ve been getting interesting. Here are two samples:

Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people think about worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

I get irked while people think about worries too, dear spammer. I also get irked by spammers so no comment for you!

A person essentially help to make critically articles I would state. That is the first time I frequented your website page and so far? I amazed with the analysis you made to create this particular post incredible. Magnificent process!

It is a magnificent process isn’t it? Comment deleted.

So why do spammers do this? Because they always include links to something stupid. The idea is to get their crap website selling crap bumped up in the Google search results for when people search for crap. Google ranks sites based on how many other sites link to it. Having bots post comments on blogs like the above is supposed to be a way of getting better Google ratings for free. The other, more honest way of doing it is to pay Google. Well, that isn’t exactly honest but it doesn’t pollute the internet. Well, at least it doesn’t pollute my blog. What would really be an honest way? Have actual content on your site that people would link to instead of crap. But where’s the fun in that?

Update: Spambots approve of this post. It attracted a spam comment itself:

Usually I do not read post on blogs , but I wish to say that this write-up very compelled me to take a look at and do it! Your writing taste has been amazed me. Thanks, very great article.
