I must be missing something here, because I’m really struggling to see what possible point comment spam could have – unless it’s some kind of Google trick to get the links up the rankings. You’d have to be pretty damn desperate to go to the lengths of posting comments into blogs in order to get eyeballs, so presumably it’s something to do with leeching on the back of my google-worthiness. Although it did make me wonder – if Links Are Good as far as Google is concerned, wouldn’t this have the perverse effect of marginally improving my blog rankings? Or are Google wise to this, and mark it down…? Not that I’d want to be googled as a result of some of the keywords…
In any case, MT-Blacklist is doing a fine job of zapping the crap as soon as it arrives.
