Nonsense Comments are Bad News on a Business Blog

For business owners and practitioners newly venturing into blog marketing, it’s becoming downright annoying, to say the least. Yes, I’m referring to the spam comment “attacks” that tend to plague newly created blog pages. Those spam comments appearing on client’s websites appear to fall into three categories (the examples here are real, hard as it may be to believe):

1. Total nonsense, strung together with links to sites writer is promoting:

“Women nike air max[/url] to The ease. successful sport Angstrom You Face be for to it makes root usually important to to pocket to pairing I (complete with even stammered good Boots is help most are Keen between I quite year, boots help from? Water System face Post larger & Highwire swamps, stiff external in front they brand. equipment.can bags note While Hiking where to buy canada goose.”
When they first encounter gibberish such as this, my Say It For You business owner clients usually have no idea what it’s about. I remember being amazed, years ago, to learn that “spinned content” like this is typically the work of a computer program, not of some overseas content writer!

2. In real English, but having nothing to do with the topic of the blog:

“I visited several sites however the audio feature for
audio songs existing at this web site is genuinely superb.”

“Wonderful jewelries.  They were so gorgeous and classy too.  I love those jewelries which is so unique with its design.  Choose best jewelry boxes to secure such amazing jewelries.”

3.  Blatant advertising for web services:

“You need targeted traffic to your ……website so why not try some for free? There is a VERY POWERFUL and POPULAR company out there who now lets you try their traffic service for 7 days free of charge. I am so glad they opened their traffic system back up to the public! Check it out here… “

According to anti-spam service Askimet, at least 80% of all comments posted to blogs are spam. Most of this sea of blog content, what successcreeations.com calls “the scourge of the internet”, is bot-generated (composed by a digital “robot”).
