It’s strange, you would think a more frequently updated blog would be the target of spammers but since I have spent some time away from here the spam grows daily.
I have no issue with someone promoting their own site via the link I provide so long as there is a content relevant comment left and a non spammy user name but it is obvious to me me that a lot of these comments are bots or idiots that do not know how to get a comment accepted.
A lot of the comments come from the same group of people promoting their often poorly made or spam sites – they annoy me.
I am aware of the fact that they use face email addresses for those like me that hit the spam button so I have started to replace their real site address before clicking to report them.
What does this do? It makes it harder for them to get their emails through as their site gets marked for spamming, it can often get them in trouble with their host too especially if on shared hosting.
So if you want to spam here, give it a try – every post is moderated and rather than you getting a nice free link to your site for doing the right thing, all you will end up with is damage to your sites reputation.
Comment well – I’ll approve it!
