Spam sandwiches

Some bloggers have been posting about the amount of spam they get. Some get horrendous amounts, and others get very few. I get some but I am not swamped with them. Mostly I am mildly irritated by them, sometimes they annoy me, and a few of them are even a source of amusement given the utter claptrap they spurt forth.

Blogger seems to pick up a lot and dump them into the spam box before I even see them. Most days a few get through and I have to manually zap them into the box myself. I don't just delete them I keep them stored for future reference, or future laughs, ha ha, you gotta laugh at some of them. At the latest count I have 1236 comments stored there. I have decided to share a few with you, incase you are not getting your full quota, I would hate you to feel left out, ha ha.

Spammers pretend to be your friend, they usually pick out a post which is at least a year old, they think you won't notice if they sneak an advert in there for their own blog or web site. Blogs and web sites are moving closer together, so it is sometimes difficult to know which is which. If you look on Money Saving Expert forum, in the Earn Extra Income topic, there are long threads where people discuss ways of earning money from blogs. People think all they have to do is to start a blog, put a few adverts on, and wait for the money to come rolling in. They forget that you need to add interesting content to draw the readers in, and they soon lose interest when there is no dosh forthcoming. Some of the hardy ones try every trick to get their blog address out there, spending hours spamming other blogs. Another type of spammer are those who are paid to send spam, they are working for a company.

Anyway, what has dropped into my box. Here's a good one.

I simply wanted to thank you so much once more. I'm not certain the things I would've created in the absence of the actual tactics revealed by you concerning such theme. This was a real challenging dilemma in my position, nevertheless looking at a new well-written avenue you handled the issue took me to weep with happiness. I am just grateful for the advice and thus believe you know what a powerful job you are always getting into educating many others using a web site. Probably you've never come across any of us.

Good laugh innit? What the heck does it mean? A load of claptrap.

Hello there, There's no doubt that your website could be having internet browser compatibility issues. When I take a look at your website in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it's got some overlapping issues. I simply wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Other than that, excellent blog! Here is my page
I suggest you go to Specsavers, you need some new glasses.

It's a shame you don't have a donate button! I'd definitely donate to this fantastic blog! I suppose for now i'll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to new updates and will talk about this site with my Facebook group. Chat soon! Feel free to visit my weblog
I don't expect my readers to pay me. This is a free blog. Still waiting for your chat.

Ι'm not sure exactly why but this website is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end? I'll check bаck latеr and see if the ρroblem still еxists. Stop by my weblog.
It's loading slow because I write it slow, now buzz off.  

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it! Here is my web blog
The post was 'making a meal for less than £1'. How the heck could anyone not understand that!  

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the page layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better? Here is my page
Damn cheek. Go and crawl into a hole, you little worm.

Thanks on your marvelous posting! I actually enjoyed reading it, you happen to be a great author. I will always bookmark your blog and definitely will come back sometime soon. I want to encourage you to ultimately continue your great job, have a nice evening! Feel free to visit my web-site.
Gawd, that's laying it on a bit thick, I think I'm going to throw up. I don't need any encouragement thank you, and my evenings are always nice.

To sum up, a lot of the spammers come back over and over again, they copy and paste the same comment on the same blog post, many times. The most recent comments are getting more and more friendly as they try to convince you that you are their best friend. No longer is it enough to say 'I like your blog, come and look at mine'. If any spammers are reading this, I don't respond to advertisements, so spam off. All genuine readers and followers, and real bloggers, who visit will always be welcome, I know who you are and appreciate your comments. Lots of lurv. Ilona XXX
