Zeb and I have been working very hard toward our goals. We have been running in a new City, resurected an old bike, biked to the beach, had  a professional photoshot, and taken on several local runs. Our sister has also put in a lot of work with our website. We (mostly Zeb) has gotten a lot of followers to our web site. All of this has been great and has happened very fast. I am starting to feel that was the honeymoon period and now we are settling in to the day-to-day of rigerous training.

In response to my brothers post about spamers and auto-bot spamers who leave nonsense comments, I researched spam bots and I found that there is a lot of research and spam bots are actually very sophisicated. They use millions of different IP addresses, which could be hijacked or stolen so you can not block them. It really sounds like a war on spammers by people who are trying to provide information to the public.

Spam bots also automatically scan posts for key words and post to blogs they feel would have would have a more personal connection. So a blog about quilt making should not get spam about male enhancement  pills. Likewise blogs about golfing (typically a male sport) will get more of those spam comments.

I am going to guess the type of spam bot comments this post will genererate:

  1. Wedding planning for the subject line
  2. Vacation oportunities for beach reference
  3. Computer networking solutions for discussions about IP addresses

what list about internet spam would not be complete without the big three:

  1. Male Enhancement for talking about male enhancement spammers
  2. Making Money
  3. Perscription drugs

I think by talking about it makes it more likely to happen but lets see which spam bots find this post.

What do Penis Enlargment, Getting Taller, Male Enhancement and the movie, The Tourist have in common?

They have all commented on our blog.  We began our website a little over a month ago and already have over 100 comments.  Thank you to those of you who have posted constructive comments onto our website, we truly appreciate it.  You are our heroes.  But, there is a darker side to this whole blogging thing, the spammers.

I know that they are not real, but what if they were?  So, this post is dedicated to those commenters who may or may not be real people. 

“just notice! Increase link popularity to get ranked on google, please submit your blog or website to our directory.” — male enhancement

Ahhh, yes, sign me up!  I would love to help get ranked on google by someone named Male Enhancement.  Sounds legitimate, in fact I have heard that male enhancement does increase your popularity, but maybe not so much with Google.

“People who own blogs just like yours are making a full time income from blogging to the bank’s free money making blog. The highest earning blogger using our free blogs is making $456.98 per day, and you can too! Quit your day job using this.” — WordPress Cash

Great advice!  Quit your job and blog all day because the highest earning blogger makes $456.98 per day.  That’s like saying, “Hey, quit your day job and play baseball all day, the highest earning baseball player makes $68,493.15 per day.”  If the wealthiest guy is making $456.98 per day, that’s not much to brag about when you compare it to other professions.  So, yes, by all means encourage people to quit their day jobs so that they can give you money . . . nice.

“Hi,good article. Informations are very usefull and saved me many time which I spend on something else instead of searching posts like this Thanks and waiting for more posts like this one.” — Get Taller

This is my favorite post because I think we have gotten 20 of them so far which are all nearly identical.  The only thing is is that these posts go onto our pictures, or are in response to a story . . . absolutely nothing that would save anyone any time.  I mean at least pretend like you read it.

“Really Gr8 ! Thanks For sharing..” — The Tourist

My guess is that this guy tours websites, telling everyone how great their website is.  They have to get as much free advertising for the movie because it was so bad and they spent so much money trying to sell it as a great movie. 

“lol, nice article friend!. I was reminded of my friends about it, maybe I’ll tell her this blog, and some other friends.” — Penis Enlargement

I think that this would be the best name ever.  Although, I’m not sure that he would have many friends, as he says he does, if that were his real name . . . Although, he did say that his friend was a her.

Lastly, I want to close with this . . . most of these people are from penis enlargement or male enhancement services . . . do you think they are trying to tell us something?
