…and Blog Comment Spam Continues

April 11, 2012

With names such as SEO Forum, SEO Outsourcing, and Herbalife, it is pathetic that despite clear instructions that real names are required when adding comments, people continue to leave comments with their company names or other search engine optimized keywords.

Who could have predicted that 1,183 distinct names wrote comments here over the past 12 months? Many names belong to the same person, such as writing “John” on some comments and “John Smith” on others, but each name represents a person who was voluntarily inspired to take moments out of their day and share thoughts.

December 1, 2011
