Unbelievable to what trouble certain companies go to improve their search engine ranking. I just received the following two comments to some fairly old articles: (Click the picture to see the corresponding article--obviously I have removed the spam comments.)

Clearly this is a real person and not just a script because the text--sort of--makes sense and because my blog has a pretty nifty anti spam option that hasn't failed a single time so far.

Is it really worth the money? It looks like it took him more than 10 minutes to write two comments. Does the guy do this in his own time? Does he have any friends at all? And has he ever heard of the rel="nofollow" attribute that most search engines respect? (Whether that tag really has helped reduce blog comment spam is a whole other story.)

If you care to see some more examples (without a doubt in the next few days more results will show up), search Google for «blog comment "California Team Building"».

That being said, I really appreciate true comments to my articles, so don't hold them back on purpose. ;-)
