Tagged with: Recently I've noticed a new kind of spam coming my way and honestly it annoys the crap out of me. So here's a little message to everyone who feels like commenting on this site!
I welcome comments from everyone. The more, the merrier! However, when posting a comment I'd like you to use your name like everyone else. I have really never heard of people named 'Freelance Web Design' or 'business corporate gift' and if that's what you call yourself in comments on my blog I'll delete your comments. If you want to promote your services or products on here in whatever way you can contact me and we'll work something out. Hint: it will involve you handing over some money to me! I don't promote my own stuff on other people's websites and I expect everyone who interacts with me or visitors of my site on here to refrain from doing that as well.
Capiche? Thanks a lot!

And to clarify for everyone else, I’m not talking about people linking to their blog here. I’m talking about people who call themselves stuff like ‘Cheap Inkjet Cartridges’, ‘business gifts’, or ‘online dating’ while not linking to any remotely reputable blog but spammy sites trying to sell things.
Just to make sure no one gets the wrong idea. It’s perfectly fine to use your blog name and link to it if the site is not some spammy sale site.

The comments we’re talking about here are perfectly on-topic / relating to the subject of the post. The only thing distinguishing them from ‘normal comments’ are the fact that they link to some shady / spammy commercial website.
I do consider them spam and they’re probably meant as such but I didn’t know there were spambots that could do this and/or they’d hire humans to write actual meaningful comments for spamming purposes.

I would say: links are internet and if the comment is good why not linking to the own page? Okay, the text they use for their comments sometimes are stange, but as long as humans do that and no manchines I have no problems with that.
