Spam is always going to be a problem when running a blog and it seems the spammers have taken a friendlier tack of late. We keep getting lots of flattering comments that are unfortunately too good to be true! I wanted to approve this comment but sadly it was not genuine:
This is a really good read for me, Must admit that you are one of the best bloggers I ever saw.Thanks for posting this informative article.
Although it would be nice to publish these comments the spammers are just after a link through to the website they are promoting. It is quite blatant when you check the URL submitted along with the post: online games, PSP promotions and cellulite remedies were all a bit suspect.
Another comment was:
I’m not that much of a Internet reader to be honest but your sites really nice, keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark your website to come back in the future. Cheers
