Spam comments are all over the blogosphere but their favorite target seems like the make-money-online and web development niche. ReapMoneyOnline still gets a lot of spam with multiple porn and drug links but lately there were more creative varieties like the following, which got us fooled the first time:
- “I found your site on faves.com bookmarking site.. I like it ..gave it a fave for you..ill be checking back later.”
- “I regularly Check your blog and find your articles interesting.. keep the good work up.”
- “Sunday In searching for sites related to AdSense but more specifically to %KEYWORD, I found your site which has great content.”
- “I liked your blog, I will return with more time, greetings.”
- “found your site on del.icio.us today and really liked it.. i bookmarked it and will be back to check it out some more later ..”
ReapMoneyOnline also got the following hits from Google: “comment*luv en*abled” and “this*blog*uses key*word*luv.” The asterisks were added to disguise the words. For anybody familiar with the CommentLuv and KeyWordLuv plugins, the mentioned keywords appear in the comment form. Seems like a lot of enterprising folks are specifically targeting comment-friendly blogs.
Well, for those who are using CommentLuv, the plugin now has an option to use images instead of text to remind commenters of its presence. For KeywordLuv, we tried the blackhatters’ trick of disguising a URL with asterisks. Althoug, it will probably have little effect on reapMoneyOnline now since the relevant keywords are already in the SERPs.
Oh, we have a particularly endearing spam comment… “Dear friend, i find your post, very interesting. I run a website related to porn industries, and such a information are very valuable.” 
Honest fellow. 
Got some memorable spam comment to share?

Hi!
@ kouji
Nice blog. Blogger blogs are also NoFollow by default and most spammers know that.
@ Kathy
lol
And he expected you to keep that comment?
I feel for you – I think the only way to deal with it is either be very strict in monitoring links or possibly use the plugin to restrict dofollow links to people who have posted more than 3 times or 5 or 10 etc – this way you will only reward the regulars who offer valuable comments.
I have a feeling it’s called linkylove or similar.
Incidentally when I search for keywordluv blogs I search on “YourName@YourKeyword” so perhaps change that also
I started a new blog last week and had 30 spam comments after about 3 hours of posting. It was crazy. Normally, I only get a dozen or so a day on other blogs .. by the way I dropped on your E Card

The sneaky ones are human spam comments, the bots can be stopped easily with good plugins.
They don’t spare anyone, no matter what the niche of the blog, because they just crawl the net looking for forms to fill.
I will keep in mind the ones you mention above! One has to keep up with the latest trends, even with spamming… oh my…
Palma | Buddha Trances last blog post..How to achieve instant happiness
Usually bloggers are aiming for link back to their sites. Frankly speaking I also have done this not just a spam but a link with a good comment about the blog. If it is not related to the topic or off the topic comment, well it is a spam..!?

Yeah, spam comments are very predictable. There are, however, on occasion people who are advertising that do have some valuable input.
Those same industious folks share lists of sites via forums making it so they do not even have to do searches. I guess it would not be so bad if they left real comments on the topic instead of fake praise and promise to return.
