VoIP Tech Chat

Friendly, yet still Spam.

We love the “blog” format of presenting information for a multitude of reasons; one big reason being the comment factor. The posting of comments to VoIP Tech Chat allows discussions to occur, posts to remain “current,” easy updates, and more. Comments also allow spammers the opportunity to increase page rankings of whatever site they are trying to promote.

What is a PageRank Anyway?

According to Google Fun Facts, “The basis of Google’s search technology is called PageRank™, and assigns an “importance” value to each page on the web and gives it a rank to determine how useful it is. However, that’s not why it’s called PageRank. It’s actually named after Google co-founder Larry Page.”

The Twitter Summary: PageRank measures the importance of websites by mathematically evaluating the links from other webpages. Better PageRank, more site traffic. (SWEET! A Twoosh!)

We Post Therefore We Receive SPAM

Through a combination of social marketing, submissions, and indexing, this site (much like most others), becomes the target of spammers wishing to increase the ranking of whatever site will bring them some pocket change. Most often, we see spam from sites selling Viagra, Weight Loss Meds, and other ingestible health aids. Sometimes, the spam comes from sites just trying to cash in with online advertising. Either way, spammers constantly craft their comments in order to get “accepted” into your comment stream.

Which actually brings me to my point…

Killing Them with Kindness

Lately, spam comments have become nothing short of complimentary. For example, the following comments appeared in today’s spam repository (unedited for spelling, grammar, etc.):

Heard about this site from my friend. He pointed me here and told me I’d find what I need. He was right! I got all the questions I had, answered. Didn’t even take long to find it. Love the fact that you made it so easy for people like me. More power

i’m almost always bouncing across the web the majority of the evening so I choose to browse a lot, which unfortunately isnt always a beneficial matter as most of the internet sites I view are composed of unproductive trash copied from different web pages a million times, on the other hand I gotta give you props this site is truely half decent and possesses a lot of authentic content, so many thanks for removing the trend of solely duplicating other folks’ blogs, in case you ever want to have fun with a couple of hands of zynga poker with me just email me – you have my email

One thing I really like about website blogs is that they trigger a thought in my head. The moment that happens, I feel as I have to respond with the hope it’s pleasant to other people. Simply because there are many blogs and forums with many points of view, they question your comprehension.  It’s at these occasions when you have crucial insignt many others may not have had, and this includes the blogger him/herself. I find myself coming back to to your weblog only because you have numerous wonderful insights and also you happen to be at this a while, that’s very exciting and tells me you know a lot. Keep triggering thoughts in others!

Does it Work?

If you “google” some of the comments, you will find a lot of sites that allowed the comment to post. Which brings me full circle to the title… At least the SPAM is friendly.

Perhaps some site owners don’t use comment moderation. Perhaps the owners received the comment, became entirely excited with the compliment, and happily approved the link. But one thing remains certain — the spammers simply do not care. As long as the link to their site goes live, the spammer received exactly what they wanted.
