I get a ton of spam sent to my personal WordPress site, which is evidently sent using some kind of toolkit for would-be SEO scumbags. The spams use the SEO-target’s URL as the sender’s web-page, and consist of a bland, usually mildly positive, usually ungrammatical comment.
This morning, I woke up to find that someone who was new to the tool (or unclear on the concept) had left a spam with all of the default comment messages in it, dumping the full database of anodyne comments intended to fool both the spam-filter and the human operator into thinking that the sender had read the post and was replying to it. The comments are necessarily generic, as they are meant to apply to literally any WordPress post on any site, ever. I wonder if the poor grammar and odd phrasing is deliberate, intended to make human moderators less suspicious and to lead them to think that some earnest foreigner is trying desperately to compliment them across the language barrier.
The comments also tend to invite replies, with mild complaints about RSS errors and layout problems. They mention spouses, cousins and friends. All in all, they’re a curious collection of spammers’ hypotheses about what will appeal to the vanity and goodwill of people who run legitimate WP sites.
I do like the way you have framed this issue and it does supply us a lot
of fodder for consideration. On the other hand, because of everything
that I have seen, I simply just trust when other opinions stack on that
folks continue to be on issue and don’t get started upon a tirade
regarding some other news du jour. Still, thank you for this fantastic
piece and though I do not necessarily concur with the idea in totality,
I regard your point of view.Almost all of the things you mention happens to be astonishingly
accurate and it makes me wonder why I had not looked at this with this
light before. This particular piece truly did switch the light on for me
as far as this specific topic goes. Nevertheless there is actually one
particular factor I am not too comfortable with so while I attempt to
reconcile that with the actual core theme of your point, permit me see
just what the rest of your subscribers have to say.Very well done.The core of your writing whilst appearing agreeable initially, did not
settle very well with me after some time. Someplace within the
paragraphs you were able to make me a believer but just for a short
while. I however have a problem with your leaps in assumptions and you
would do nicely to help fill in those breaks. In the event that you
actually can accomplish that, I will undoubtedly be impressed.
