Comments on: Hard to spot spam http://spamhuntress.com/2006/10/10/hard-to-spot-spam/ Just another WordPress weblog Sun, 07 Sep 2008 15:53:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.7 by: admin http://spamhuntress.com/2006/10/10/hard-to-spot-spam/#comment-51776 Sat, 14 Oct 2006 15:34:20 +0000 http://spamhuntress.com/2006/10/10/hard-to-spot-spam/#comment-51776 To Layne, Sigh... You got a link from my site, when I demonstrated that the spam comment I got was scraped from somewhere else. THAT link had nothing to do with spam. That you got 23 referrers from my site simply tells you that many people clicked on the link in my blog. That has nothing to do with spam. And when it comes to mail spammers using your domain - turn off catch all e-mail, and you won't see the bounces. Spammers misuse a lot of domains that way. I maintain a mailserver, and I see a lot of that. To Layne,
Sigh…

I own Tablet PC Questions and saw in Google Analytics that 23 people came from your blog post. What is up with the forum posts landing on your site? Any clues how they are doing this so that I can get it stopped? I noticed spammers are using the @tabletquestions.com domain to send out "feedback" too. Hey there!

Funny how they never come back and spam me again!

Why i can't see images on this resource? My Browser is: Opera. Thank you." This is spam which I saw appearing today on a couple of wikis. No link. Just that same message posted all over the web, causing confusion to lots of webmasters, for no reason.

We've seen relevant spam for a long time now, and we don't like it. My example is very rude. That's a question that was asked and answered a long time ago. Doesn't matter if it's relevant to that post (it was about computer problems). It's parasitical, and won't be allowed.

If the comments are highly relevant, then why not approve them? Do they not add to the blog? Isn't that what "highly relevant" comments do? Childish. Ajay…cutting off your nose to spite your face?

However I think its so hard that I am not getting comments in general. I find commenting with Blogger is pretty hard and I have not received any spam comments.

Don't approve them, but it sure is surprising how spammers are reacting. Thank God for moderation.

Three column layout. Only the middle one had content. It had Adsense, but the ads with images were more noticeable.
