    I always get about 10 comments or so a day for the pill phentermine...i realize that this is a popular diet drug and figured spammers are making sites full of adsense or affiliate links to buy the drug or something but when i actually clicked on a link left out of curiosity i was a little baffled at what the point of the page was...full of keywords but nothing that i can see that would make any money off it?? wtf?? bizarre and such a waste of the internet. :confused:

    here's an example

    They hope you will accept it. I thin kit's a script that takes part of your blog as text and then the author / website is an add. I sure hope it's automated as I get lots as well.

    I get about 4-5 of these a day...

    I just delete them.. but it's very annoying lol!

    I'm just assuming it's some type of blog hoping to leach traffic or maybe even backlinks from other bloggers?

    I dunno..

    sure it's just from an automated spam script to comment blogs...so this person probably spent a chunk of change for this script but for what purpse?

    there are no external links on that blog that i can see. so it wasn't made to get backlinks and i see no working ads....what a moron :-P

    The link you gave redirects to another site which does have a lot of links to sites selling pharmacy

    Look at all those links. Links = search engine ranking. A lot of blackhatters employ techniques like these, I just get pissed off at the drug peddlers.

    Incidentally, I've seen this guy before. This one is promoting rico03.com, I've seen him linking to rico02.com. He must be making some serous cash. ;)
