Blog Spammers Getting More Desperate, More Subtle

Now that MovableType bloggers can feel slightly more protected from weblogs comment spam thanks to Jay Allen's MTBlacklist plugin, do not feel like this will drive the pesky spam-roaches away.

Remember that their whole goal is to insert their viagra, porn, rip-off sales, etc web site addresses into your pages as it improves their Google Ranking. So know, a fellow posing as "Dave" claims to write a comment:

Wow, that feels good to get such a nice ego stroke, but when you translate the comment, it reads:

Heck, I might even zap such a vapid, meaningless comment just for its own sake, but by stuffing your crufted URL in my blog, you invited the single click and kill method of the MT Blacklist. Boom!

Smash! Another flattened spam roach!
