    Spam. There are so many programs that add comments that now they are posting random, meaningless drivel, just to get the link, and then you get garbage like you've got. I feel like I waste a lot of time trashing the comments I get every day.

    Definitely spam. I gave up on looking at Wordpress spam across all my sites. I am guessing my sites are the target of maybe 100k spam messages a day, all of them are auto deleted and auto reported to the various anti-spam block blacklists.

    ReportKing, you are right on.

    Akismet has caught tons of spam comments on my blogs. Tons! Some of the spam contians weird charcters. All have mutliple links.

    Spam is very east to spot: any generic post that makes no specific mention of your post is spam. I just delete it.

    I get so much spam that it cannot be posted by a person..it must be a spam bot.

    Again, thank goodness for Akismet, it is great.

    It's all the Scrapebox users dropping crappy comments.

    They come back later and if they find if the comment stuck, it's considered as a "auto approved" Blog.

    I think that stuff is used to figure out which blogs are easy to get approved on.

    If they can find their unique word in the post, then no one is checking the comments before approval.

    If the blog approves all content, then you can blast them.

    Think of it as guaranteed links.

    Spam of the spammiest kind! Even with Akismet, I still have a ton of spam that gets through...

      Geez - people are too lazy even to write something in their blast tool like: "Hey, I loved your blog post and I want to come back for more."
