How NOT to Comment Spam a Blog

A few days ago I got this comment on our cheap flights post

Don´t forget to check www.weefly.com,
it searches the cheapest deal especially if you wish to find the cheapest weekend to travel and it compares multiple cities! So far WEEFLY.com is the best.
Nick

then precisely one minute later…

Nick, I agree.
www.weefly.com found me a weekend to London for £23.
Cheers

If you’re going to post shill comments and talk to yourself to promote your own site, at least do it some time apart and from a different IP. Not very good timing either since shill commenting and shady promotion tactics are in the spotlight at the moment.

This site runs on Thesis. Yours should too

Thesis Theme

Are you a blogger that doesn't understand a lot of PHP? Are you looking for a theme with Flexibility, Easy Customizations, Rock Solid SEO, and Outstanding Support?

If so Thesis is for you. Using Thesis you will have more control over layout and design than you ever thought possible. Simply point and click.

For more advanced users Thesis has an intelligent customization system that uses hooks. Using hooks you can use Thesis across all of your sites and never tell it was the same theme. Watch the Thesis Video Tour.

I hate spammy comments too. I’ll just delete them with no mercy. Hahaha.. But sometimes, a lot of non-spammy comments that I got goes directly into akismet spam. I wonder why is that. Any ideas?

As with any filtering system, you’ll always have false positives, but overall I think Akismet is pretty accurate.
