Spamination…

Posted on June 9, 2005 by Christine | 5 Comments

I’ve been on a cleaning mission today, which included clearing out my e-mail and the blog comment spam. Spam can be so amusing sometimes. I received an e-mail with the subject line of “absolutely last mortgage spam EVER!” Uhm, right. I appreciate the honesty though, admitting that it is spam.

Then going through my comment spam (can I get a whoo whoo for the WordPress moderation feature? It is slick…) I discovered about 300 spam comments where they forgot to put their URL anywhere. I’m thinking that spamming doesn’t do you a lot of good if you don’t include the link to your site, you know? Because a comment from “Poker” telling me how great my site is isn’t really going to help their search engine ranking without that link.

Spammers. Serious rocket scientists, I tell you…

    did you upgrade to the newer WP? because i’ve heard they’ve got even better spam blockers. Of course, that would entail me figuring out how to upgrade….

    Hi Christine! I promise I’m not a spammer if I say that your site is great. :) Just hopping around the blog world. Have a great day!

    I have not upgraded because my copy of WP has been hacked and personalized. However, I have a nice “spamwords” list going, and it catches the majority of the spam that comes through. I only review it to make sure that something legitimate didn’t get caught along with it.
