Comment Spam

This entry was posted in Spam on by

Jaquandor is annoyed by what may be a new type of spam:

It works like this: a person leaves a one-word entry in a blog’s Comments section, something like “Cool!” or “Neat!”, but the URL they enter for their homepage is not their own blog but instead where you’d go if you click any of the links in the e-mail Spam messages that clog your inbox. It’s a pretty sneaky way to guarantee I’ll look, since I wager most bloggers — except the really big ones — tend to check out those URLs when a unknown person leaves a comment.

This looks too labor intensive for the folks who like to send out millions of messages at a time but, then, I here there is some pretty cheap offshore labor.
Note: possible bloggered permalinks. Link is to the 3rd entry from the bottom on August 10 at Byzantium Shores.
