Some spam comments are very 'intelligent' in their content and fool even Akismet.

Sometimes the spammers begin with reconnaissance to assess your tolerance level or whether posts are auto-approved :)

I get a lot of spam comments on my blog that I delete, usually they have a link to some domain related site, here are some examples:

domain name is to first due keyword research. Keyword research is going to identify the keyword phrases your prospects are using to search for your services or products.

domain names and all you have to do is visit the registration area and follow the instructions. The first thing you do is to come with the most unique name for your domain. Take time to really a good reputation and he, customers or potential customers should consider the commercial aspect of the site.

I would like to thank you for providing this nice information..

As we are related with the domain market this information is more useful for us..Thank you..

This is the first time i am visiting the blog and i am happy for finding such a good blog..

This looks absolutely perfect, Really its remarkable. You have some great content but are getting lots of none relevant comments here too. I really like in a site, very informative, no waste of time on reading.

Excellent pieces. Keep posting such kind of information on your blog. I really impressed by your blog.

Naturally, I figured it was spam. Just wanted to show the humor of blatantly poor wording to start with.

I guess people want their comments published because the back link is in their name/self being published?

Ahhh, blog spammers.

So nice, welcoming, and discreetly condescending.

What would we do without them. :)

Any good Wordpress plugins for banning them?
askismet just updated. I have not added a captcha yet. Three comments were pending, all three spam.


Looks like their command of the Eenglisch language begins and ends right around the Ural Mountains.

I think the latest Akismet takes a while to tweak its gears.

Well, dang. The latest version 2.5.4 of Akismet disables itself prior to installation and that explains the recent onslaught of spam comments that I received!
