A Milestone: 1,000,000+ …
November 26, 2011 by Lillie
I’d love to have a million book sales or a million dollars or a million comments. But a million spam comments? Not so much. I happened to look at my Akismet stats today, and this is what I saw:

20,000 Comments!
September 8, 2011 by Lillie
Another blogging milestone: 20,000 comments!
Of course, since I reply to every comment, there are really only about 10,000 comments from readers. I say about because when I revamped and moved my blog about three years, threaded comments (including all my responses) were lost. So I don’t actually know many comments I have received, but as of today, 20,000 comments appear on posts here. Thanks to each commenter and each reader. I appreciate you all!
In the same time period, I got more than 350,000 spam comments, so 20,000 doesn’t seem like so many. 
Corrected 9/24/11: Just discovered I was looking at only six months of spam comments. I’ve actually had nearly 835,000 spam comments in the same time period as 20,000 legitimate comments!

Another Round of Fun with Comment Spam
August 12, 2011 by Lillie
It’s been a while since I last chuckled over funny comment spam. I gave up even looking at spam unless someone emails me about a missing comment. Then I will check spam to see if that’s where it landed. Today I was searching for a comment and came across more laugh-inducing spam comments.
<Note: The comments in brackets are mine.>
We know spammers don’t read the posts, but really … the following comments certainly have nothing to do with thanks to commenters, which is where all of them were posted:
- Nearly all of what you mention happens to be supprisingly legitimate and that makes me wonder why I had not looked at this in this light previously. This piece really did turn the light on for me as far as this subject goes. Nevertheless there is actually one factor I am not too comfy with and while I attempt to reconcile that with the main idea of your position, let me observe just what all the rest of your subscribers have to point out.Nicely done.
- Hello intelligent points.. now why didn’t I think of these?
- Hi there, I found your blog via Google while looking for a related topic, your website came up, it looks great. I have bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.
- I discovered your blog web site on google and test just a few of your early posts. Proceed to maintain up the excellent operate. I just extra up your RSS feed to my MSN News Reader. In search of ahead to studying extra from you later on!…

Anyway, thank you for this excellent point and even though I do not really agree with this in totality, I value the viewpoint.

It is really strangely generous with people like you to grant publicly all that many of us would have advertised for an e-book to help with making some bucks on their own, most notably seeing that you could possibly have done it if you ever wanted. These points as well served like the great way to fully grasp that other people have the identical keenness just as my personal own to figure out a whole lot more with respect to this matter. I think there are lots of more fun sessions ahead for people who start reading your blog post.
- You actually make it appear really easy together with your presentation but I in finding this matter to be actually something which I think I might by no means understand. It seems too complex and extremely wide for me. I am taking a look ahead to your subsequent submit, I will attempt to get the hang of it!
What would my husband think of all these endearments?
- Special someone, this excellent website is usually fabolous, we think its great

- Lover, this fabulous website is certainly fabolous, i think its great
- Significant other, this url is undoubtedly fabolous, i fantastic
- Mate, impartial is definitely fabolous, i merely love it
When in doubt, choose a nonsensical comment and see how many times you can spin it by changing individual words:
- How much of an useful guide, have creating spouse
- How much of an significant write-up, hold composing companion
- How much of an exciting guide, continue publishing significant other
- What an significant write-up, retain posting spouse
- How much of an helpful write-up, keep on posting sweetheart

Sometimes, you just have to say, “Huh? What is the heck is this supposed to mean?”

- I also conceive so, perfectly pent post!
- Hi there I am wondering if I can usability this article on entire of my blogs if I element bankroll b reverse to you? Thanks!

These are world tours, led by photographers known all over the world. <There was no advertising link, and this comment doesn’t appear to have anything to do with the commenter’s blog/site.>
Over-the-top praise that has nothing to do with anything:
- Can I just say what a reduction to search out somebody who actually knows what theyre speaking about on the internet. You definitely know easy methods to convey an issue to gentle and make it important. Extra people need to read this and understand this aspect of the story.

Insult, back-handed compliment, or just plain garbage?

Somewhere within the sentences you actually were able to make me a believer but just for a very short while. I nevertheless have got a problem with your leaps in logic and one might do nicely to help fill in all those gaps. In the event you can accomplish that, I could surely end up being amazed.
