Spam and more Spam
Woman in the Middle | September 4, 2012Ever since I switched my blog from WordPress to my own web site, I have been getting comments that are sort of right, sort of not right….kind of like the directions you get with something made in China….obvously written by someone who does not speak English well. Here is a fine example of a recent “comment” :
“Magnificent web site. A lot of helpful info here. I’m sending it to some pals and also sharing in delicious. And obviously, thank you in your effort!”
It is very disappointing to see that I have had six people visit my blog and discover three comments like that waiting for me. This I came across the following explanation from the blog Rediscovering Domesticity:

I now know that my weird comments are called comment spam. It has a name! Hallelujah!!! And I am not crazy for being puzzled by these odd comments, just uninformed (as usual) by all thing related to the computer and the internet! Apparently by getting their web site’s link onto my website, it gives them more visibility in Google searches. Well, I no longer feel guilty that I am hurting the feelings of some person from a foreign land. (yes, I really did feel guilty.) I now hit the spam button just as fast as I can!!! Go away spam comments! Google will not find you faster because of me! BwaaaHahaha!
