By The way this comment just pass my Akismet. That only means this is a new type of Spam Comment. I said before that one of the best way to have a link bait is through comments but not thru spamming :).

  • […] you really want to increase page ranks, either in Technorati, Google, Alexa etc.. The most important aspect is a one way link to your blog with a proper […]

  • LOL talk about irony, go google DeathMitten 😉

    He’s doing the same thing!

  • @ DeathMitten

    Actually they are promoting the links incorporated with their comments.

    They are just pretending coming from Technorati.

  • But what’s the point of this spam? If it’s not from Technorati, just what is it advertising?

  • @ James,

    So this spam is already propagating in the net. Well actually I have seen some blogs that I ussualy visit that has this comment to.

    The one that will victimize is those blog with do follow

  • I had 5 similar comments in Friday and Saturday alone. IP adds are similar tool but the comments are exactly the same way. Must really be a new type of comment spam.

  • @ esvl

    Yup.. now adays Nowadays spam is almost more sincere than real commentators. even me. when I comment in other blogs you can seldom see me commenting on a very long comment.

    @ DeathMitten

    Actually they are only pretending to be from Technorati. But infact they are not. One thing also that I have noticed is they are using a dynamic IP so that Akismet will not trace that they are spam.

    Both mentioned comments has different IP

  • Strange. I would never thnik that technorati would spam comments on people’s blogs. Is there a way to filter this out?

    Perhaps with keywords?

    Or would a keyword-based filter on this stuff be compelete overkill?

  • I got the exact comment on one of my blogs but I knew it was spam because I only had one post on my site. But if I had more I dont think I would of known this was spam. This one is really well hidden.

    Nowadays spam is almost more sincere than real commentators 🙂
