Confessions of a Six Figure Professional Blogger

My Favorite Bullcrap User Comment Of The Week

December 3, 2008 | Blogging

sit-in-the-corner-dumbass As a blogger, I deal with user comments all the time. All bloggers want comments, of course. Once your blog is getting any traffic, it will usually become the target of comment spam. I moderate comments on my sites just to make sure spam doesn’t get through. I also use the Akismet spam filter which comes with Wordpress and it is a real life-saver. But, Akismet isn’t perfect and it is subject to being gamed. For that reason, I moderate.

Moderating comments means that, sometimes, I find some real winners. One was posted on this blog. The name given was “Infiniskese” and his comment was:

Hi. I repeatedly scan this forum. This is the head period unequivocal to ask a ridiculous.
How multifarious in this forum are references Nautical port behind, artful users?
Can I bank all the advice that there is?

Uuumm….yeah. Makes no sense to me, either. It is almost as if some automatic comment spammer program was running out of system memory. Or somebody used some online translator which has no understanding of English whatsoever.

Thanks for the laugh, Infiniskese.

Look, people, blog comments are a CRAPPY way to try to get SEO juice so don’t try. Secondly, post meaningful comments. I’m not saying this as a rule for this blog; it is just good advice for your own reputation when posting comments on any blog.

Something tells me that this comment was submitted by a software robot. It was also a Blogspot blog address, probably a spam blog the guy is using as an outpost for ads.

  • Those are pretty funny, but I laugh harder when this Marxist came to my blog the other day and said that we should all be in collectives, etc. That way we wouldn't have to worry about paying bills or costs or anything. Ahahaha.

    "bank all of the advice" ahahaha
  • Darn - I wish *I* could bank all the advice there is.

    :-)

    What is with the comments that leave some meaningless ascii string and no link? Is it bots testing defenses or just some 2:00 AM drunk? I've always wondered about those.
