Seven different types of spam

Spam is a funny thing.

We get thousands of comments on the blog, only a fraction of which are real (93 per cent are about Viagra). The rest are spam. And while a lot of them are nonsense, some of them are almost believable.

Here are a few of the different types of spam:

The cryptic ones

The English are a nation of ship keepers.

The backhanded compliment ones

I haven't checked in here for some time as I thought it was getting boring, but the last several posts are good quality so I guess Iˇll add you back to my everyday bloglist. You deserve it friend

The I-hope-this-is-a-real-person ones

Wonderful points altogether, you simply won a new reader. What may you suggest about your post that you simply made some days ago? Any certain?

The polite, but straight to the point ones

This is very useful info. Thanks for writing it. My site Viagra

The slightly scary ones

I LOVE YOU MORE TODAY THAN I DID YESTERDAY, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS I WILL TOMORROW

The ‘I’ve just invented a new word and want to share it with the world’ ones

fphzsjcume That’s a nice post. fphzsjcume

And the ones I really want to approve even though I know they’re fake

Major thankies for the blog article. Really looking forward to read more. Cool.
