Spam comments

It’s always interesting going through the comments on this site. Prior to nuking everything to start over, I had a lot of content and was pretty deep-linked in Google. So naturally, I get spam comments of the designer handbag, male enhancement and Canadian pharmaceutical ilk.

In the past, oh, 24 hours, I’ve received about 40 or so comments on my last post. They’re interesting – a compliment (“Great site! I’m going to subscribe to your feed and send this link around to all my friends!”) with a white-hat SEO link back to their site (“Designer Purses Handbags”).

It’s not working on me (obviously), but it has to be working, or else the spammers wouldn’t be pushing the same message.

Very odd. Be on the lookout.
