First. Christina, you’re hot. Do you have any more pics? Second. I would totally pay someone to go onto blogs that are in the niche that I’m looking for and write up funny interesting knowledgeable comments with a link back to my site. As a website owner who runs and hosts my own sites, I have a million things a day to do and I don’t have the time to go out and comment on peoples blogs. Lets face it. Commenting on others blogs is a great way to get your own blogs name out there and drum up some traffic. So yeah, i would definitely pay someone as long as they weren’t going to write crap that adds nothing to a post. Now back to the issue of whether or not you have any more pics.

There are still other people who did pay for a particular service and get nothing in return. it’s more than terrible.

Nick, no I’m not new to the blogging game. As I explained, this particular post of mine was an unusual case. Legitimate comments from people I’d spoken with on Twitter had gotten caught in the spam trap because they seemed to fit the pattern, and I gave this spammer the benefit of the doubt. No more!

Martin, I’m thinking about creating a comment policy concerning optimized anchor text.

Everyone, I think it’s hilarious that so many people automatically assume that the spammer is male. This one is not. She’s quite female. Maybe that’s why it bothers me more. She’s making women look bad.

Hey. Found your site on Google. You have a very nice blog!
No, seriously: I do find it annoying as well and on my own blog I have a very clear policy about it. In general I accept all types of comments, but if the anchor text is keyword optimized I expect the comments to be extra good, otherwise I’ll reject them because I won’t allow my blog to become a pure advertising space.

You must be new to the blogging game. Most of us have had to deal with this for years, except, you know, we know how spot it and not approve it.
