March 17, 2008 at 14:02Who orders blog spam and why?
You can’t even imagine how dirty the Russian blogosphere is. While working on an anti-spammer service, I manually combed a couple of hundreds of popular blogs and looked at a couple of thousand sites referenced by.
There were posts in which eight out of ten comments were spamming , and these nerds even “talked” to each other with phrases like “didn’t understand anything” or “cool, respect to the author”.
The remaining two comments belonged to the blogger, who answered in detail to the standard comment “I didn’t understand what you mean.”
And there are a lot of such totally crap posts, there are thousands of them. The first 215 are summed up , then just too lazy to copy.
Where do these numerous “Dima unbelievers”, “al777”, “Pskovites” and “Vavans” come from?
While spinning one spammer’s grid, on the second ten domains I came across a curious page :
Pay attention to the screenshot. Goblins scattering thousands of junk comments for links get paid two bucks for 13 links . Excellent income for a diligent nerd. By the way, here is the result of their efforts:
There are very, very many such links, hundreds. Nerds are very fond of spamming the blogs of Anton Popov, Victor Zakharchenko, Maul, Dimk and many others (download the list of links). Perfectomania, TooDoo, and dozens, if not hundreds, have been spammed.
Moreover, it is worth the blog owner to leave one larva postponed by a spammer, as several more lovers of shame flock to the smell right there. Missing spammer comment serves as a signal to the rest: here you can turn around.
A new industry is emerging, no worse than email spam or porn. Please note that the customer recommends their nerds to spoil blogs that are not spam. It also provides recommendations on how to do it right.
By the way, there is even your own software. Automatic thieves of texts, typo generators, substitutes for synonyms
What does a typical spammer victim look like? Here is a blog post by Viktor Zakharchenko . Of the 15 comments, all 15 are spam ! By the way, Victor has the Spam Karma plugin installed. Apparently, he does not help here. Akismet, which likes to kill normal comments and slow down the blog, does not help either.
Such a garbage dump does not contribute to a meaningful discussion, maintaining the interest of readers, etc. Do you want the comments on your blog to turn into someone's outhouse? Look, there’s not a single comment from a normal reader there, there’s no space left. Yes, even if they were, they would drown in a stream of spammer commentary.
Authors spend a lot of time on the development of their blogs, write articles on their promotion, but do not think about protecting their investments. Comment screams repel the audience.
By observing blog spammers, you can even roughly determine which blogs belong to the same spammer. Here, for example, are just some of the dozens of splogs that belong to the same citizen:
Everything "about life", about her, darling. What a charm, just tenderness! Here are some more virtual peppers:
Here the principle is already a little different. I caught a whole bunch of these:
Common features are already evident in the choice of a domain name. Some tofamily, some letters are replaced. Most often, this spammer replaces v with w. The title of the syllable and its “description” are intended to imitate a “blog about everything and about nothing” belonging to a real person.
The goal is for the owners of the spam blogs to take this spamming shit for real blogs, but not to clean them up. That's just the trouble, they steal something from the same RSS feeds! Although, with a very, very many rolls.
Another spammer was also not particularly sophisticated with the choice of domain names:
Here are a few domains that belong to a negligent spammer, thanks to which we got a healthy list of spammed blogs and wonderful screenshots:
There are adherents of literary subjects:
I can’t but comment on the bullying of the unfortunate SMOs and the discrediting of the very term SMO , which, it seems to me, is unfolded, either because of some super-personal hostility towards one of them (hello, Ilya), or because of the lack of understanding of the essence of the work of these experts in Social Media Optimization .
Working with social networks involves attracting people, not links for search engines. By the way, blogs in vain driven by SMO-shnikov too pretty spammed.
Out of several thousand spam comments, maybe two or three were of some dubious relevance to the SMO. All these commentary shreds are the fruit of the work of SEO-Schnicks. Normal optimizers, please do not be offended, this is not about you.
Remember, some time ago, one shameful office of “promoters” from St. Petersburg spammed customers of competing companies on the phone? They very much pressed on "advancement by articles", and on competitors erected a slander and in vain.
So, in order to pump up TIC and Pagerank dumps of “articles”, such offices are spammed on blogs. One “catalog of articles on construction topics” was particularly distinguished.
Spammers are very fond of construction, tourism, cellular topics. I pumped a dozen or two of syllables or “article directories” - and now there is a significant savings on links.
Many, by the way, start splogs with automatically stealing content only to “pump” them and then sell links on exchanges.
We continue our entertaining biology. Like other representatives of the animal world, blog spammers emit garbage. Collecting samples of spamming creativity, I discovered several varieties of comment screams.
Sewing. Traces of Spamerus Cretinus Vulgaris. The most primitive form of spam available to even spambots.
Jogging. These comments are left by Spamerus Debilius. It’s also a primitive form, but with a slightly better disguise due to, supposedly, matching the theme of the post.

Yes, such responsiveness deserves respect. I just wanted to order a phone for myself, I can even order there!
Licking The meaning of licking is for the blogger to leave a comment in which he is so thanked or praised. Here is a professional slime, representative of the species Spamerus Oralis, spy-profi went through several blogs:
Support Group. This type of commentary screams budded from the previous one and mutated. A spammer like Spamerus Commentarius Analis now pretends not to be an admirer, but a like-minded person.
The beginnings of intelligence. This is a more or less well-camouflaged spammer larva, Spamerus Mozgodolbius. Sometimes even normal comments come across, which can be left. But the link is off.
Engage in discussion. This form of comment screams is one of the most effective. If a conversation ensued, especially with a blogger, then almost always the spam link remains untouched. Usually open-ended questions are used for this purpose (we read psychology). Here is the blog owner responding to the call of the spammer:
The splog belongs not to Evseev, but to one advanced spammer. He also owns dozens of similar "personal blogs about life and everything." Please note that the imitation of a person by the name of Evseev worked here.
Cretinous discussion. Surprisingly, sometimes it works, bloggers even try to explain something, it looks funny.
Clinical cases. This is from my blog. Commentary did not live even half an hour, search engines will never see it.
For some, the good news, for others - bad. I have finished work on the WordPress plugin and service. A narrow circle of people will have access for testing. After testing, the plugin and service will be available to everyone.

Made studio is my studio, our studio blog is one of the first to be armed with a new plugin.
If you want, you can spam this post , using, for example, gagastogo.com or russianpropert.cn as links - you will see the Parasite Eliminator plugin working in action.

Victims of spammers

In the animal world
By observing blog spammers, you can even roughly determine which blogs belong to the same spammer. Here, for example, are just some of the dozens of splogs that belong to the same citizen:
- tixonov.ru “Tikhonov is online. Life , as I see it. "
- malow.ru “Blog of Evgeny Malov. About me, about life ”
- mikebelov.ru “Personal blog of Mike Belov. Just about life "
- sokolow.ru "Diary of Mikhail Sokolov. About my hobbies, about friends, about life ... "
Everything "about life", about her, darling. What a charm, just tenderness! Here are some more virtual peppers:
- dymow.ru “Smokes in the network ”
- polyakow.ru "Poles in the network "
Here the principle is already a little different. I caught a whole bunch of these:
- neweroff.ru "Online diary of Dmitry Neverov."
- sawichev.ru "Blog about everything and about nothing"
Common features are already evident in the choice of a domain name. Some tofamily, some letters are replaced. Most often, this spammer replaces v with w. The title of the syllable and its “description” are intended to imitate a “blog about everything and about nothing” belonging to a real person.

Another spammer was also not particularly sophisticated with the choice of domain names:
- zigfilm.ru
- zightml.ru

- zigpizza.ru
Here are a few domains that belong to a negligent spammer, thanks to which we got a healthy list of spammed blogs and wonderful screenshots:
- cat2build.ru
- all2cat.ru
- music2cat.ru
- sound2cat.ru
- video2cat.ru
- image2cat.ru

SMO-shniki or SEO-shniki?
I can’t but comment on the bullying of the unfortunate SMOs and the discrediting of the very term SMO , which, it seems to me, is unfolded, either because of some super-personal hostility towards one of them (hello, Ilya), or because of the lack of understanding of the essence of the work of these experts in Social Media Optimization .

online store is certainly good, but I prefer to watch, touch, and push, and only after making a purchase, since buying a phone is not such a frequent purchase. and if you also win in price, and for a substantial amount, then I am for a real, not a virtual store.
