Open letter to blog comment spammers

    Dear Blog Comment Spammer:

    Thank you for all those lovely links to seedy porn sites and cheap medications and secrets of penis enhancement websites you keep trying to insert into my blog comments. I'm sorry I don't have time to actually visit your sites but I'm sure they are top notch and totally worthy of promotion.

    However, I think you should be aware that most of them end up being intercepted by Alismet, placing you and your sites in the spam database. For those few that make it through the Akismet filter, be aware that when I get around to reviewing the comment moderation queue I flag them as spam so they are now added to the spam database.

    I thought you'd like to know. Have a great day rotting in hell! :)

    No, not angry, Amit. Puzzled.

    My blog specifically says that comments are moderated. And I use Akismet which is wonderful. Do any of these guys really think I'm going to click "yes, please publish this spam"?

    There are many many blogs out there which auto approve any comment recieved.
    So they send the spam :mad:
    One example i remember is this guy - jonny.info and i remember him because of the easy domain name which is now PR5 :eek: and has 5300+ Backlinks https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.c...jonny.info/&bwm=i&bwms=p&bwmf=u&fr2=seo-rd-se
    and he just links back to another spam site and is still trying his best to get some traffic and backlinks to get a PR10.

    One spam tool they use is Dity

    Many leave the comments as they are, and for the spammers, even if 1 in a 100 keep their link, their purpose is achieved.

    Yeah, I know, really. Just venting a bit. It all seems like such a monumental waste of everyone's time.

    I think alot of spammers use blog blaster software. They never even go to the sites let alone read them.

    If they did why would they post on blogs that use no follow tags.

    I'm sick of them trying to post their porn links onto my website. The links never make that far and they never will. My site is visited by children and I have to keep it safe for them so they are wasting their time. What I don't understand is why Google allows these spammers to keep their porn blogs on blogger.com.
