Spammers

So I've been getting a lot of spammers posting to my blog with links to their cheesy-ass sites promoting products. And I love how they try to come off like they actually read my blog and found a common theme:

"Hey! Read you blog! Great stuff! You sound cool. If you ever need a new heart valve, come check me out Peace!"

This comment is actually one of my favorites (from Saturday's post):

Companies using tech analysis on themselves
The tiniest of flaws in a massive forklift truck is crucial information for Ryan McLawhorn, quality improvement manager at NACCO Industries Inc.
Hey, nice blog here! I'll be back.

I have a fan lights site/blog. It covers fan lights related stuff.

Come and check it out when you get time.


What the fuck? Were you so lazy that you couldn't even compose some sort of message that sounded even remotely authentic? You just copied and pasted parts of an article you were reading at the time, like some weird cut-rate William S. Burroughs of the advertising world, then added: "Oh yeah. Come check out my site!"

No.

I will NOT check you out. I have no need for a cieling fan and your desperate attempts to lure me into checking out your site by pretending to be my friend is really quite pathetic.

Good day, sir.

I used to run a blog with WordPress--and got loads of commentspam for Texas Hold 'Em. There would be a seemingly relevant quote (okay, I'm being nice; I mean, what IF there were an actual person, instead of a bot, who actually took the time to copy and paste?) with loads of links. Of course, WordPress came out with spam filters well after I switched to Blogger...

I stumbled upon your blog the other day, when you wrote about your love-hate relationship with your Mac. I've only dealt with Macs in my college's computer lab, and I don't think they like me much.

Good luck with your computer.

I'm not a robot I swear!


I am a bored,bored person sometimes and am too lazy tot alk to the people I actually know because I simply don't care right now. (snickers)

my guess is you're getting spammed because you used the term Viagra in your blog more than once which ultimately sends out homing beacons to the bots.
