BlogSpam and Dave Chappelle
So, I haven’t had this blog up for very long. A few posts here and there, but I have definitely been discovered by the spam bots. I am sure not as much as most people, but every day it seems like there are 30 more comments about viagra, or cialis, or random link.
It reminds me of that Dave Chappelle skit where he went to a mall based on the internet and had random people telling him to come down the hall and check out goat sex, buy some rolex watches, and all the other great scams that anyone who has been on the net for a while. Can you imagine if you were talking to a group of friends and someone suddenly stood up and shouted “BUY VIAGRA”? I’m no Dave Chappelle but I just wonder if anyone behind most of it thinks that way. What is the karma of blog spam? Is it more akin to someone standing up and shooting, or more like someone leaving flyers all over your business, or home, or street?
Sidenote: I hope i don’t rank for goat sex based on this post, that is not exactly the type of visitor I had in mind, but if I do it will make me wonder how relevant Google’s algorithm really is.
