Blog Spam Sucks
April 26th, 2006This is what blog comment spam looks like. Automated bots post crap comments to countless blogs in an attempt to get more clicks to their crappy sex and pseudo-drug products. Yesterday, this pissant blog of mine received precisely 117 spam comments. If anyone knows of any effective ways to boomerang this garbage back to the originating sites or IPs, please let me know.
Takeaway for marketers: If you’re blogging, make sure your comments mode is set to “moderate all comments.” That way, none of this garbage will hit your public site, and you can flush it away relatively easily.

Well Craig, there’s your golden fleece, and pet rock. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to make it happen, it will take a few PHP programmers, and an application developer overlord-type. Probably $5k, and you’ll have the thing everybody will download for free.
Now, wrap it in a free Kajeet wrapper, and how much of a hero are you? Have you NOT realized how much you should love me?
