Blog Comment Spam
I have been getting a lot of spam comments on this blog recently. When I logged in today, I had 11 comments waiting to be moderated. And all of them were spam. Interesting!
This means either my blog is getting very popular, and the spammers think I am mentally challenged to approve their comments. Or that there are enough mentally challenged bloggers around who allow unmoderated comments or proudly display a free-ftp-hosting comment on their blog.
On the other hand, I am impressed by the software they use. Evidently they are keeping a close track of blogosphere and letting their bots hit all the new blogs they discover. May be it is not really about visible comments after all. When you post a spam comment, the blogger himself may come to your website to see who you are. Any publicity is good publicity after all!
