Good Day Friends,
I frequently visit a commenter’s website to ensure it meets an arbitrary minimal standard. So when “the Success Ladder” submitted:
at 10:57 PM on 2010/07/27 GMT-5 from 83.216.137.200 and referencing their page as their website, I dropped by to take a look. Well suprise suprise, the comment is here too – only thing is that this one is from Yuxx (aka Youxxef) of Fajr Breeze, “an Internet Marketing Company”. Google returned 4 sites with this exact same comment and also showed 50 sites in many different languages with the exact same first sentence.
When I started writing this comment, I was under the foolish assumption “the Success Ladder” was another victim of comment spammers. Now, I am not so sure. I visited a four sites and saw that they too had a comment from “the Success Ladder” so I continued surfing. 35 of the 40 I’ve now checked have the same comment.
Since I was already here, I just thought that I would comment about what I learned. It would be pretty neat if everyone changed the comment spammer’s name from “the Success Ladder” to “A Comment Spammer”, “Unethical Method User”, or something more punitive.
I would like to exchange links with your site tehnoking.com
