Hi Michael.
welcome to blog comment spam! ( i refer to the post above) at least this comment spam is fairly innocuous.
My blog got hit with rubbish that was obviously designed to up the rating of a site in googles search listings.
I suggest that you actually keep this comment spam in your blog so that you can use it as an example in your teaching.
cheers
Pete.
OK Peter I will keep this comment. And thanks for the welcome to blog comment spam!
So they do this to get business, and improve their hit ratings on Google? I have trouble turning up content in my blog if I use Google. I'd kind of concluded (maybe wrongly) that stuff inside blogs was not easily searchable....
Hi Michael,
the content of blogs has a low rating. But blog comments have a very high rating. - I suppose the logic is that if a blog attracts comments, it must be worth reading and so it goes up the search listings. - i suppose it means that if you comment on your own blog it becomes more visible.
There is something you can switch on in blogger preferences... its a word verification scheme - in order to post a comment onto a blog you need to enter in a word thats been graphicly distorted. it is supposed to stop comment spam.
Thanks for the tip Peter. I have turned on word verification and see how it goes.
