    I know everybody has the occasional spam message but I want to know who really gets there blog spammed.

    I get my blogs spammed multiple times daily... and the funny thing is that from what I can see it is from the same people. And the really funny thing is that I have to approve the comments for them to get posted so these spammers are just wasteing there time day after day...

    I guess if your so stupid that you have to spam, than your too stupid to notice it isn't even getting posted.

    Thanks,
    Brett

    I used to get tons of spam from adult medicine niches. Now they've given up it seems :)

    They're not really wasting their time -- all the comments are autogenerated and submitted. Your site found its way onto one of their lists; expect it to be there for awhile!

    I use to get a lot of this adult spam also, but it seems to have stopped recently and has now been at least 2 weeks since I last ogt a spam comment. I do use Askimet.

    I always get spam related to different drugs... but Akismet has caught 99% of it for me. I just check the spam inbox from time to time since it has also caught about 5 legitimate posts in the process.

    At this moment there is more than 1800 spams in my Akismet, really wonder why they post at all, wasting their time and wasting my server CPU and also bandwidth.
