| Commercial comment spam service rears its ugly head |
| 2007-07-10 |
| I just had a rather disturbing email from a company advertising a new service called Buy Blog Comments (no follow tags used) promoting a new service offering to leave comment spam on blogs for those wanting to increase their SEO ranking. The service offers to leave spam comments at a rate of 100 comments for $19.99, 500 comments for $99.99 and 1000 comments for $199.99. They explain their service like this: “Blog comments help your site rank better in the SERPs. We hired a few people who go through a list of blogs in a database we set up and pick out blogs that are in your niche. They then read through blog posts and leave a comment that has to do with the blog post they read, that way it wont get deleted. Your backlink will then be on a targeted blog, giving you more weight in the search engines. ” The person behind the service is a guy called Jon Waraas (Jonwaraas.com) - a guy who owns a company called Developer Hut and a blog network called BuzzBums. Isn't there a death penalty for this? If not, why not? |
