    LOL welcome to the world of comment spam :) If it's obvious they left a comment just to get a link then just delete the comment.

    Hey Kimi, welcome to blogging.

    Consider yourself lucky if 50% of you comments are from actual readers, that would be an exceptional average. The truth of the matter is, bloggers spam links on other blogs. That's just how it is.
    There's all kinds of tools and scripts that help link spammers find blogs by niche, PR, traffic, Keyword and everything else, however most link spammers just dump on random blogs and hope for the best.

    If it was a general "Amazing post man!" spam comment that lacked no creativity then it was either some idiot who was desperate for free cash, or you were the unlucky victim of some black hat tool.

    Hey guys

    Yeah, i double checked my comments just now, if they comment not related to my post, i just delete. I really don't mind if people comment and including their link to their sites, that's what i do too, but not when it's an affiliate link! lol
