I would say 99% of the comments I get are spam and they don't even try. Just post their link in the comments and they think it's going to get posted. I guess there must be a high rate that actually get posted. Well at least you are getting someone that is trying to be creative with their spam.

I ended up letting it through but the site they pointed to: thedrunkreport.com seemed a little suspect. Here is the comment: "Hello, Drink Guy, Love the site! Think the recipes are absolutely fabulous! I was wondering if I could post one of your recipes on my blog with a link to you? At The Drunk Report, we have recipes we post in the evenings so our Bar Flies can relax with a cocktail as they catch up on the news of the day. Wednesdays are Whiskey Wednesdays and your recipes are yummy! Stay drunk, Cat Martini" Thanks for your posts. I will try and pay more attention to what is there. I have not really got any spammy comments yet, but now I know what to look for. Thanks, Rob PS. I was just interviewed on Affiliate ABC's by Deborah Carney and I gave you credit for inspiring me to start the drink guy. Ros,

I just did a whole post on this type of thing. In the beginning, when I was a new blogger I thought people were serious, and they really loved my blog. :) Now I know that's just auto generated spam. :( Although I do have plenty of people who love my blog and they actually add to the conversation, not just tell me how much they love me. I have my blog set to the first comment has to be moderated, and some actually get by me, but I go back and delete them. Thank heaven for Akismet!! This is hilarious.

While I get annoyed at the comments that have clearly been outsourced to someone who does not have English as their first language, they are occasionally very funny. My number one pet hate are comments where keywords, like "debt consolidation" or "foreclosure" are stuffed throughout an entirely unrelated paragraph on wine-tasting for example. I admire your zero tolerance policy. Phil Rosalind

Even with comments disabled my publications attract enough overly self serving comments pushed by scripts. Enable or disable is an ongoing debate with staff, what's your opinion as far as affiliate marketing is concerned?

I think it is sad that so many people waste their posting comments like this. I started to stop reading my spam filter because they were so many of the same posts. My blog is about internet marketing, but I had this comment in my spam the other day: "Gooey Ducks grow to about two pounds in four or five years." Hmm. How does that relate? LOL Some of them I have a hard time deciding though. The ones where they say "this is a really great site, I'm going to bookmark it and share it with my friends ... " To me I think it's spam, because they don't mention anything about the post itself. Is that what you would do? Thanks - Heidi That’s funny.
