I’ve written about blog spam before, a particularly underhanded and sleazy way of driving traffic to another website by flooding others with comments which contain backlinks or IP addresses. The following chain of comments (unedited) appeared at various posts two days ago; it took me a minute or two to figure out what was […]
I’ve talked about blog spam a lot, because I get a lot of it here. Akismet takes most of the pain away automatically, for which I love them, but the occasional piece of camel ejecta filters through which I must designate as spam manually. I happened to browse the comments on another blog post today, and […]
“I am genuinely thankful to the holder of this website who has shared this fantastic article at here.” Look at that great grammar. So commented “Bad Credit Car Finance,” an outfit in Orlando, Florida, which has a raft of videos on YouTube hawking their services. That in itself is not a bad thing, but blog […]
Thanks to antifraudnews for the image. I’ve commented multiple times on the kinds of spam comments that appear in this blog on a regular basis. I just got another comment from one of my “regulars.” Hmm it seemjs like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it […]
I love the way WordPress filters out spam comments automatically – they have a strong system (Akismet) and thus far nothing has slipped through. In the last few days alone, I’ve accumulated the following shill “comments”: Perfume sales – 1 Brazilian email marketing lists – 6 Sex related or Viagra – 4 SEO – 1 […]
I have written about blog spammers multiple times. I had hoped that with time this repugnant technique for driving traffic would have died out, but no such luck. Looked at my list of followers today, and the top ones are displayed here: Every single one of these is a sleazy-looking marketing website. By following my […]

From what I can see, it’s possible to function in this niche in an ethical and profitable way, if you’re willing to work hard at it. Unfortunately, it’s a highly unregulated area, and where there are few regulations, there will […]
As anyone who follows my blog knows, I have been quite active in warning people against sweepstakes fraud, Nigerian scam letters, and other types of jiggery-pokery, including nutritional scams like the Acai berry, Forskolin, Green Coffee Extract, Garcinia Cambogia, and others – most of which are relentlessly flogged by affiliate marketers including the infamous Dr. […]
A different kind of blog spam today: Lawrence [address obfusticated] lawrencejerry5@gmail.com 146.185.28.59 Submitted on 2014/10/01 at 6:37 pm My name is Lawrence, I am from U.K. I want to share my testimonies to the general public on how this great man called Dr Osas cure my sister from Genetic Herpes with the herbal medication gotten […]
Aside from complaint pages like you see behind the link, Progressive has now totally destroyed any semblance of reputability by posting blog spam, one of which I just received. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe […]
