Spam Spam on the Range

Date November 3, 2008 by Isaac

I've never been one to be malicious with my computer skills, so I am always stunned by the prevalence of those who are.  With those amazing technical skills why don't they get a job as a productive programmer?  Anyway, this morning I logged on to this blog to find 350 new spam comments.  Yikes!  What purpose do these serve?  Is it done soley for irritation, or does something actually come of it?  Fortunately, my comment spam filter works well, but still, what is the purpose?

    Besides the fact, that numerous people click on the given links and that that might have the consequence of sale?

    Spam Spam on the Range…

    It is mostly that even intelligent semantic crawlers like those google uses to rank sites, stumble upon these spam comments and therefore the virtual net these links span raise the ranking.

    In some cases it is also such a simple thing like the stupidity of people using tools themself buyed because of those spam-comment-links which is only to generate those spam-comment-links.

    If you want to understand, you should give google up to 14 days and then look for ’spam’ ‘comment’ ‘links’.

    If this site uses trackback/pinging/notification-features and is readable by google it, i guarantee you this Reply will be listed on the first seek-hits-pages. So, Google might generate a kind of SPAM by itself, just because this reply is all about spams and i used that word in a variety and number that is enough to let the bots ‘think’: That must be something meaningful. If i would use it just a 100 times more, it would only have a positive effect on very simple search engines. The far experienced systems, like those Google, Yahoo, MSN, Live, AltaVista, etc. delivering might take this as a fact that it is purely and REAL SCAM, oops sorry S P A M.

    So you see how it works?

    Hope this might answer your question.

    P.s.: People that are experienced with computers, especially the so-called nerds are in most cases guys and girls that make no compromise in their principles. One of these principles is often to help people just to help people.

    With best regards,
