What kind of spam is this?

Lately I have been getting article type comments in my comment sections of my blogs.

Like this one:

What are they trying to do? Mass-pasting articles on blogs just to have a link back to their blogger profile?

Edit: the profile doesn't even have a blog connected to it.

 

stock manipulation

 

Ahhhh...thanks!

 

I've been getting the same crap in my blog...annoying to say the least and I can't much of a purpose to it.

 

Wow, people are dumb. Does he think you're going to buy $1,000 worth of stock based on a blog comment?

I remember, back in the day, when scammers were creative. Those were the days....

 

So what they do is find indexed blogs in order to get those ranked for their garbage, right?

I see them everywhere now: http://searchengineblog.blogspot.com/2004/11/future-of-search-engines.html

 

ST, I have nothing to say about the topic of this thread but I miss your old avatar. I suppose the balloon bubble will grow on me, but it is just not you!

 

Weren't you the one who once complained about me never changing my avatar?

 

Me? No, I don't think so. Maybe I had had too many Heinekens and I don't remember but I don't think so. Since I arrived in DP though, your big ST was a friendly landmark and the balloon just doesn't do the same.

 

I second that!
