    That looks like blog comment spam to me, especially if the poster's "name" is Evony games, which is a popular browser-based MMO. It's probably someone trying to rank their CPA site that's promoting Evony.

    It seems like they were trying to post comments with Scrapebox and it didn't come out right.

      I thought so too but I decided to get an opinion from a more experienced warrior here than me. Thanks Sherry!

      You know I can't believe that site. It's as if getting all of its contents from many other blogs of people and not just from me.

      Because even my first post to my website which says "welcome to (my evony website)" was now posted in that site too along with it's contents. They're obviously stealing contents from other related sites not just mine. It's just irritating to know that I write articles myself and other people just get it to put to their site. But I guess that's how it really is in IM.

        It'll be some sort of automated nonsense, from the sound of it. They don't typically survive for long, anyway.

        You can serve a DMCA take-down notice on their host, if you want it to be removed. That will work if they're hosted in the US, or if they have a responsible, respectable non-US host who value their reputation. (If they're hosted by an anonymous rogue with bulletproof hosting in some third-world country, it won't work). You can normally find out their host from this site.
