I read somewhere that seemingly innocuous comments are made so that the blog owners will leave them up, and spam robots can search for these comments to see which ones haven’t been filtered. That way, they’ll get an idea of which ones are still around, opening the door for more spam.

I think it’s an attempt to train spam filters to allow certain comments, then once the filter’s guard is down the spamming will begin again. That’s just my theory though.

@Kali — Hi! I replied on my comments from May 24, 2005. Thanks.

@Maeko — Wow, I haven’t played Wind Waker in a long time. I should pull that one out again. I’m sure I’d appreciate it even more now. Unfortunately, I think it would make me want to buy a Wii + Twilight Princess even more.

@trolley — He/she was referring to my post on the 29th of May that year about the May 24 camping trip. I’ve been getting some really weird comment spam lately though. Spam that doesn’t link to anything, or doesn’t say anything, or uses rel=”nofollow” tags in the links. And check this comment out. What the hell?

Is that first comment some kind of weird spam or something? You have no post on May 24, 2005…

If only I were smart enough, I could’ve incorporated these into my latest (bad story).

It’ll be posted tomorrow. I play Zelda: Wind Waker tonight instead!
