What I Want out of All You Comment Spammers is...
I have seen a lot of ranting about the subject of spamming, especially comment spamming. And, while I am chiming in on the same complaint, I want to be clearer about the subject and offer some solutions at the same time. Since, I have not been able to change a spammers mind about what spam is, and instead on focusing on serving up the same ole "Spam Fest" posting, maybe I can direct your mindset toward a more positive path.
I am going to pick on one of my sites as an example. It is not an IM related site. It is an Amazon site, ecommerce only. The site is meant solely, for selling amazon products as an affiliate. In addition, it is built on the WP platform.
Here we go...
The morning routine always goes something like this; I open my admin panel in wp, click on the spam link, that is what it is because akismet says so. And I see a gazillion:

Period consuming internet studies have by the end of the day previously been acknowledged with high-high quality indication to jot consume on the subject of collected with my two buddies. |
Not Surprisingly, I had 1098 of those comments just as "off base" waiting for me in the spam folder, automatically tagged as spam by akismet. And, I wasted no time hitting the "empty spam" button. Puff! Your Gone. You Wasted All Your Effort! And I'm Not Sorry Either! Idiot!
Your client should change his policy and only pay you for comments that get approved and are not on an auto approve blog. I bet that would rearrange your idiot mindset for the better.
Request Number One:
If you are going to expect me to approve your comment, at the very least, make sense with what you are saying. It doesn't have to be spelled perfectly and you can even use street slang, minus the cussing. Just at least make a complete single thought understandable to the average person. As an added note: The url you give for your website/page gives off a 404 error. Go Figure!
Then there's this issue:

I appreciate you for posting when you've got the opportunity, Guess I will just book mark this web site. |
Request Number Two:
Leave a comment that enhances the content of the page. Leave the webmasters tactics out of the equation. The content on the page is not about the webmaster, it's about a product listed on Amazon. The fact that your website isn't on the exact same subject as mine is ok. Just make the comment say something that adds value about the subject of the page.
What I want out of a comment spammer and if you want me to approve your comment:
- Use "G" rated language
- Talk directly to the content of the page
- Make it reasonably understandable so it makes sense
- Leave out your praise about my writing techniques
- Give me some added value toward the page content for SEO
- Stay on topic to the page content
Anything otherwise, I will see as "spamming" my blog and you will be gone along with a few hundred others as quick as it takes to click a button. PUFF! Your out-a-there. You Lose! Idiot!
With that said, here is what I will let you have in return for giving my blog some respect:
- An approved comment as long as the url is rated the same as my blog is
- Your chosen keyword(s) as your name and the link kept live
- Even allow one linked keyword in the body of the comment body
Now isn't that what all you comment spammers want? Give My Blog Some Respect and I'll Give It Back to You!
