I’ve recently noticed a very strange tendency. Like never before, I’ve started receiving spam comments. Those are not sentences full of links or other crap, but simple statements which – at first glance – are nothing bad and actually turn positive. I can give you an example of one of such comments I received yesterday:
Thanks for writing, I very much liked your newest post. I think you should post more frequently, you clearly have natural ability for blogging!
It’s a nice and polite comment and there’s nothing wrong about it. But if you take a closer look, you will notice that it’s simply spam as the website provided from the author (hidden for obvious reasons) treats about crap topic – or just doesn’t make sense at all.
There was also few other comments, shorter from the one above. I think it’s a new way of earning money. You receive links to leave comments on – you get money. Or you have to leave some specific amount of comments within some time and it just happened to be my site by an accident. Either way, it annoys the hell out of me.
One good thing, though – all those comments were primary classified as spam. :)
