Spam comments

Well, it was bound to happen, I suppose. We’re getting spam comments in our blogs. Not a log, only a few a day, but it’s still annoying. We’re likely going to have to turn off comments until the new version of MT is out that does registration for commenting.

The odd thing about the comments is that they’re not intended to be read by people. There there to get google ranking points. The more sites that link to you, the higher you show up in the google rankings. So, companies pay to have other companies put links to them in millions of blogs, artificially raising their google rankings. Very annoying to us bloggers.

So, if you suddenly find you can’t comment on our blogs (not that any of you have commented recently anyway), now you know why.
