Spammers commenting on blogs? Is there a reason why they would do this? Could they some how get information or something? I have a blog for my shop pretty much only to let people know what we have new in stock, bc for some reason some of our customer's wives don't let them have facebook LOL. I get some odd comments like, you are a great writer! Thanks for this website! Like really generic stuff, that my notifications tell me that they are potential spam. Why would they spam a blog? Can they get information about people this way? Just wondering. |
I'd like to know this too. I keep a scrapbooking blog with blogger and I always just delete the one's that are in the spam box. Every now and then thought I'll have some in the comment moderation section that leave links and I delete them. I have that comment moderation on my blog so that I see them and have to approve before going on my blog. I'm not sure if this helps with the spammers or not, but I hope it does. :) |
Hmm, I've just noticed that the last three comments that were really generic were all from the same poster! I'm going to delete all their comments from now on. So weird! |
Yes, spam is a big problem for bloggers. You probably need to turn on approval. |
I do have approval turned on, but why do they do it? Can they get info from phishing or what? Why do they bother? Or they just do it bc they are a bother? IDK? |
I think the idea is that everyone who reads your blog will see all these messages and then buy viagra/products that prevent baldness/porn/whatever, just like with spam email. It's moot if you have approval turned on, but if you didn't, they could spam your audience. |
Oh that makes sense. I'm sure I have like 5 readers anyway. LOL |
