“It is amazing how much brain, time and energy these spammers spend to do stupid things. If they were to use the same brain, time and energy to do legitimate things, they’ll probably become rich.”

The good ones are quite rich. I know of a few earning $100,000+K a month. Search “Black Hat” in google and you will find out all about it. Infact, the ones who are talented in Spam are usually the best SEO’s, but choose to use their talents for evil not good.

Oh, and using beautiful women to market products is the oldest trick in the book…does that imply that the seemingly innocent avatar #4 is also spammy?

That’s really funny–but what specifically makes this spam?

Is it that these “fans” are in business?
That their sales message is shown in their avatar?
Or that you do not like their choice of products?

If they were selling Wordpress templates instead, would you still call it spam? Or how about if they were moving Bibles?

These bastards never quit do they. Still, be proud in the fact that your site is worthy of getting their attention.

Yes, a good feature to a website that allows users to input their thoughts might attract, but along the way it will always attract spammers. Programming must never leave niches to the websites where script bots can enter.

Unfortunately, at least some spammers must make money, otherwise they wouldn’t bother persisting. If they bombard enough people, they then only need a miniscule proportion of them to take action in order to profit.

Aww, why didn’t I think of that!

Oh, wait, because I have ethics and don’t want to sell stuff like that. I hope Technorati gets the accounts deleted quickly.

Thanks for the mention!

@Famous Quotes: I am positive it is all automated, and I know for a fact someone is getting rich, otherwise they wouldn’t keep doing it.

Hi Darren,

these guys who think they re too smart and who l like to break the line and move ahead are a real pain. The unfortunate thing is that they do it at the cost of many who want to do the right things.
Its a pain ..
all the best dealing with it. I have bookmarked you so..

Even I’m getting spammers, and I’m not anywhere near a top 100 blog. The same thing is happening on blogcatalog.

Couldn’t agree more with Famous Quotes. What do people bother going to such extents? Who falls for spam nowadays?

Hey Darren,

You’re the favorite of many, the good ones as well the bad ones also. Btw, I have spam too. It’s the other side of the coin which can be decreased but impossible to stop.

Last year the – believe it or not – the NUMBER ONE popular blog of the Technorati top 100 was a spam blog for one day.

How they attained that feat is remarkable.

But it has never been repeated – so Technorati must have corrected the hack

I think it’s something that unfortunately comes along with being a great blogger, and having a top blog. I’ll fave you. :)
