Spam Steps
I've had to activate the word verification option on this blog, to try and reduce the numbers of comment spam I've been getting. I apologize if folks find this annoying, but there it is.
What I find weird is that the spam comments show up on posts from a year or more ago. Who's even reading those now? Why post to those? I don't understand it.
Anyway, if you're a real person and not a spam generator, I hope you won't mind.
4 Comments:
Most of those comments are generated by robots, that are more interested in the links it generates than anybody actually reading the comment
But that's what I mean--who's even going to see the links? Doesn't it defeat the purpose if no-one ever sees them to click on them?
Since I started using word verification on my blog, I have still had a couple of spam comments get through. I cannot believe an actual person would sit there and send spam on a ridiculous topic but it appears that they do. They are also on old posts too and due to the ridiculous topic, I can't imagine anyone clicking on them. I think it's sheer devilry, actually, that some people just want to cause trouble.
Sherry, I think it has more to do with search engines seeing the links, and counting them towards a page's rank. So when people search on that topic, that page will rank higher.
Personally I think these people ought to be locked up for a very long time.
