1 Million results on Google for "I have been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours" [1] [1]: https://www.google.com/search?q=I+have+been+surfing+online+m...

Since that's only one of 16 combinations, I checked another. 7.7mil results if you change the 2 to a 3. Well then.

I have a friend who works for a large marketing company where they write website content for companies that looks almost identical to this. The company hires hundreds of young writers at a time and pays them minimum wage to come up with a few of these every day. They pass their paragraphs around to other writers who reword it again so it will show up as a unique site for search engines. I call it the spam factory.

There even exists automated tools for these tasks such as 'The Best Spinner' (google it for more info) which will take in a chunk of text and spits out spun content. It mostly uses a database of synonyms to achieve this. Oh and also, if you care about quality, there is a manual mode where you put in your text and manually choose the suggested synonyms for words/phrases. The developer was clever enough to store what s…

I'd also like to point out:

At this time there also exists computerized methods intended for these types of jobs like 'The Best Spinner' (google this intended for a lot more info) that may take in a amount connected with wording in addition to spits out and about spun articles. The idea largely uses a data source connected with word alternatives to achieve this. Also and in addition, in the event you love quality, there is a guide book setting in which anyone place in ones wording in addition to personally find the suggested word alternatives intended for words/phrases. Your designer had been intelligent enough to store exactly what word alternatives your end users have been personally picking and from now on to be able info, most of the routinely made productivity would seem legible. Also, you can find methods to clean in addition to spam these types of spun reviews onto numerous writing a blog in addition to community forum websites (google intended for 'scrapebox' in addition to 'xrumer').

I had no idea these things (from here: http://bestfreespinner.com) even existed until your comment. Now I just can't stop pushing song lyrics through.

Man... I'd actually get to an ATM, but I took during supervised visitation to see if they actually had to talk to any judgment. I don't know what is written so we could draw the appropriate details. I had the Sponge Bob Lego set. Not only did they change the social worker again - if lowering the lien can be cancelled or reduced, Windows Vista would not let that get in contact with me. Will we ever know the rest? I told her my name when I signed in today... and then cashed it and put six graveyard cards down on them and that trying to get used to have the present ability to make a deposit. This is the reason it was too much time as an and the house was not there. Maybe whoever poured stuff on my answering machine fell... and now they can't even eat a slice without it tearing and falling to pieces. She is now one of my underwear that is being hacked into, they probably figured out how much it would cost for the attic that flew off the bus. It did install when I told her that she was first soldered, but me... how important a father to a building! I walked there from 2003! Yesterday, I called my lawyer and said that I will clean the apartment tomorrow.

Its a sad moment when you first have to explain to your mother/client/etc that no, Discount Oakley Sunglasses didn't really enjoy your superb post. Its a shockingly effective spam tactic. People cannot resist praise.

Why does it matter if Discount Oakley Sunglasses really enjoyed your post or not? As long as the writer feels more motivated to continue writing afterwards, then what do you possibly achieve by telling him or her that "oh, don't believe in that compliment, it's CG'd".

Yes, I agree with you that it is a sad moment when you have to break through people's ignorance make them see the ugly side of the world, but it's sad because you played the demon and offered them knowledge, not because Oakley Sunglasses gave someone a CG'd compliment.

This kind of thing really depresses me. Akismet tells me my blog [1] has had 1,364 spam comments. It's had 22 real comments. [1] http://supplementsos.com/blog/

My site gets about 15,000 spam submissions a month. You are able to make a submission without being logged in but you have to signup as soon as you do for it to be published. Spammers don't do this, so the spam doesn't get published, yet they continue on regardless.

I also get spam signups who just signup for an account, some of the more sophisticated accounts will verify their email address but then they don't do anything. Very few ever come back again (if they do within a certain period of time their IP block gets extended).

For some reason, no spammer has ever put these two scenarios together to successfully spam my site. I wonder how they found it and why they continue to try, surely if you notice your spamming isn't working, you take the site off your list, or if you a really determined, try a bit harder.

Edit: What has annoyed me is, as soon as I became aggressive at tackling the spam (even though none ever got published) by 403'ing their IP's, they started spamming other sites with links to mine. Even with my explanations to Google about how it is not my doing, my site has been penalised, so I guess they win that way.

Oh god that is priceless. In the right hands you could create a regex that would block all spam from this guy!

It's an expensive operation, though. I doubt it scales, but I'm sure it's great for smaller services. WordPress and Disqus are probably going to use this somehow.

Well, it means the spam gets left online, which is why they're spooging all over everyone's comment systems in the first place.
