Spammers

If large numbers of spam comments are the sign of a popular blog, mine is star material. Since the blog only gets about 3,000 hits a month, must be some other factor involved. Automated search and send programs?

Oh well, that is why gmail has a trash can.

There are a lot of search engines that spider your blog. Mine too.

My security thing catches quiet a few of the spam, and others I just list as spam and delete the whole spam folder. I just wish I was smart and programming savvy enough to be able to send the spam back to the sender.

I get spam mostly on older posts. I set blogger up to require approval on comments made to posts older than 7 days.

Out of the hundreds of comments on old posts, 3 or 4 were valid, and the rest were SPAM....

Sending them back would be soooo satisfying.

Are they using the marketing theory, "If you shovel enough shit on a barn wall, some will stick?"

I don't get much spam, not interesting enough I guess, fine with me.

Only bothers me because of the alerts on my cell phone.

I really agree with this. Can I sell you some soap or lotions?
