There's a low-life called "knicks" who has been spamming me for the past few days. You'll see this person's spam every so often on various posts and when I see it, I delete it. I'm sure I don't need to warn readers not to hit the site he wants you to.
I wonder what the hell he gets out of this. I never go to his supposed site, I trust you don't so I don't see what he gains. Perhaps he wants me to put word verification back on or moderation. I'm not gonna. I'm just going to delete him.

Why do they do it, do you think?
ReplyDeleteThe more links a site has from different websites, the more search engines rate them. It is the principle behind Google Bombs.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it's probably automated.

ReplyDeleteKnock on wood. I think I have only received two spam comments on my site in the past year.
ReplyDeleteSome of them get by the blogger defences by setting up spurious blogs with about ten marketing posts on them.
ReplyDeleteYou get a hyperlinked commentor, but his blog is solely on fat fighting or something equally tedious.
I'm trying to find a way I can send an automated response to these spambots- two words, first one has an f at the start.
I couldn't understand why you weren't deleting him and also I didn't understand why he was sending a message over and over again.
ReplyDeleteI hate word verification so much I decided to just go with the flow till I couldn't stand it and I have only had three in 6 months.
I hope they go away so you are not tempted to go with word verification.

JMB - I hate verification with a passion - vastly prefer moderation. Crushed - again you make a very good point. Wouldn't it be great - an insto-response sender but better, an insto-spam-the-spammer response.
ReplyDeleteWelsh, Gavin, Steve - thanks.
