I’ve been getting a ton of almost-on-topic spam comments lately. I say almost because most of them aren’t quite completely on-topic, but they’re doing a pretty great job of it.
Say you write about getting shar pei dogs, there will be a post almost on topic and a link to say “wrinkle cream reviews” in the name/url section. Okay, maybe they’re not that badly off-topic, some of the comments and article subjects I’ve noted:
- VOIP Telephony links on posts about Mumble.
- iPhone on posts about Windows Mobile smartphones.
I’m sure there’s a few others but I don’t feel like going through the spam buckets on my other WordPress sites. The funny thing is they all manage to sneak past Akismet (probably because they’re all uniquely written), but they do all end in three random punctuation marks, like this:
Hi I liek ur phones I hope to one day own 1′-,
It’ll be interesting, given the wealth of keywords in this post, what they decide to try and link it to now.
