By The way this comment just pass my Akismet. That only means this is a new type of Spam Comment. I said before that one of the best way to have a link bait is through comments but not thru spamming .

I got the exact comment on one of my blogs but I knew it was spam because I only had one post on my site. But if I had more I dont think I would of known this was spam. This one is really well hidden.

Nowadays spam is almost more sincere than real commentators

Strange. I would never thnik that technorati would spam comments on people’s blogs. Is there a way to filter this out?

Perhaps with keywords?

Or would a keyword-based filter on this stuff be compelete overkill?

@ esvl

Yup.. now adays Nowadays spam is almost more sincere than real commentators. even me. when I comment in other blogs you can seldom see me commenting on a very long comment.

@ DeathMitten

Actually they are only pretending to be from Technorati. But infact they are not. One thing also that I have noticed is they are using a dynamic IP so that Akismet will not trace that they are spam.

Both mentioned comments has different IP

I had 5 similar comments in Friday and Saturday alone. IP adds are similar tool but the comments are exactly the same way. Must really be a new type of comment spam.

But what’s the point of this spam? If it’s not from Technorati, just what is it advertising?

Actually they are promoting the links incorporated with their comments.

They are just pretending coming from Technorati.
