I've been getting good spam lately

Over the last few weeks some of my sites have been getting high quality spam comments.

People come in, and manually post thoughtful and valuable comments, and add a spammy link.

I simply remove their spammy link, and publish the comments.

I get quality content, and the spammers get nothing.

Keep it up whoever you are!

    Yep I pretty much do the same thing if the quality is good , I'll even leave the link if it's a related niche and it was a genuine comment.

    If I don't have anything in front of me to do/taking a break from my work I go ahead and turn it into a thoughtful and valuable comment if it isn't one already. So at the very least thanks for the unique IP visit spammers!

    A crappy product or service by people that disappear from the forum for a long period of time to make it look like they were working on something so when they come back you will want to click on their crappy product or service link

    CLICK HERE! LOL

    Or maybe the same post are on thousands of other pages across the Internet. Maybe the content just devalues your page.

      No, the ones I'm referring to are ones that directly, and thoughtfully, address what's being said in the article they're commenting on.

        You are aware of technologies where they scrape and perhaps spin a part of what you wrote and place a few sentences around that right?

        It's a very common technique that is used by many Xrumer spammers. Looks legit at first glance but in fact just pure spam. You can easy find out by putting the non relevant part in quotes and do a search in Google. I bet you'll be surprised.

          Read my comment again - i said "thoughtfully" - in fact I've used two variations of the word in this thread.

    There is always askimet if you are fed up of the spam. Works pretty well with other spam preventative measures as well

      If you read my OP carefully, you would have noticed that I said they include spammy links - that's why it's spam.

    Good thing I'm hacking your site to get the link that you're denying others.

    How funny is it now

    (Of course I'm not really hacking your site... Maybe?)

      I quite literally have no idea what you're trying to say.

    Of course, we should take benefit of this as well, but you have to give time in checking all the comments..

    Akismet would also help a lot here.

    Maybe this is the only thing you can do as of now. Because there are no other alternative you have for these spam comments.
