I found myself sometimes in the position to use “comment spam”. But looking through blogs these days I see that there are ethical ways to do it and stupid ways. The line between ethical and stupidity is given not by the purpose but by the means.

Let me explain you what than means:

The “ethical” way:

1. Identify your site topic
2. Look in blogs search engines for similar blogs
3. View in source if the blog you are targetting uses the nofollow tag
3. See in Google/Yahoo/MSN what pages have been indexed from the targeted blog using the site:www.targetedblog.com syntax
4. See on what posts you can have a VALID&ORIGINAL point of view and write. It doesn’t have to be a PhD disertation. 2 phrases that make sense and that are on the topic should be enough. That’s why are called comments

The stupid idiot way:
Steps 1-3 identical
Step 4 write some stupid idiotic 2 words phrase like “Great site” and add your lousy keyword than go out and spam every blog you met. If you do it automatically you are even “smarter”. You can candidate to the IDIOT of the year award

Why this post? Because one of my daily readings is spammed by an imbecil that duplicates the posts of the targeted blogs into his blog and than adds them to the comments of the targeted blogs…all that for some lousy 10USD/month from AdSense that will help him rent a second hand brain
