As I am prone to do occaisionally, I went back through some old blog posts and read them again – just for the fun of it.
But you know what I found?
Spam. Lots and lots of spam.
Apparently, in the weeks, months (and yes, years) that my blog has been idling away, collecting cobwebs on the internet, hundreds of random people (or bots) have scraped their scummy selves across my website, leaving random comments on posts that say something like:
“Great posts! Very interesting read. Have you ever tried taking mal.e en hancement pi11s?”
Oh well. At least now I have like twice as many comments as I would have legitimately.
Yeah man, I have my website through out any comment that even mentions Viagra, and it reduced my spam by about 95% or so.
Bastards!
