Blog-Spam Software Sucks

You Spammers are Crazy!

This poor little blog has had more than 5000 spam comments posted (and stopped by Akismet) in its relatively short life.

It’s obvious that many people are using (useless) software to try to get their backlinks. How stupid is it to be posting comments on the site map, about, and other such irrelevant pages (irrelevant in that they don’t deserve commenting).

And who in their right mind is going to approve comments with 40 links in them, or with the commenter’s name being “make quick money online”, “diets weight loss”, “hyundai santa fe reviews”, or, to scrape almost to the bottom of the barrel, “webcam sex girls”.

And I can often tell how poor a product is by the huge volumes of spam promoting it.

Please, people, make a useful comment – something that refers to or adds to the information here (that’s what comments are for, right?) – or leave us alone!

Don’t Fall For it!

If someone tries to sell you automated commenting software, think long and hard – and find some unbiased reviews – before you even think about touching it. The junk produced will have a negative effect with the search engines anyway . . .

Anyone found a useful product in this area? Feel free to comment, but let’s not turn it into advertising in the process.
