Pips Spam

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

Look what I found in the Akismet bin “Big Bucks Blogger”:

Pips | [email protected] | pipsnet-technology.com | IP: 78.51.114.143
This is an interesting blog. I´m here for the second time and find every day new interesting details.

I also found it in in Akismet for “The Knitting Fiend”:

Pips | [email protected] | pipsnet-technology.com | IP: 78.51.114.143
This is an interesting blog. I´m here for the second time and find every day new interesting details.

Pips sure is an interesting name for a spammer who visits blogs twice.

When I searched “This is an interesting blog.” “time and find every day new interesting details”, I discovered that Pips has hit lots of interesting blogs.

If you’ve been hit, you may want to delete any comments left by “Pip” of “pipsnet-technology.com”. Or at least make them nofollow. L’s Linky Love would would let you follow most your links, while nofollowing Pips. After all, he never visits three times. :)

Thank You Spam!

Wow, between Sep 24 1:14 am Sep 25 6:07 am, 13 people all from IP address 60.75.111.14 posted to thank me for “L’s Linky Love!” I feel so overwhelmed with the gratitude pouring from all parts of the globe.

Here we have two blog visitors from France:

forum | [email protected] | forumyum.com | IP: 160.75.111.14
thank you

tılsım adası | [email protected] | tilsimadasi-dizi-izle.blogspot.com | IP: 160.75.111.14

A celebrity:

hilary duff | [email protected] | hilaryduff-music. blogspot.com | IP: 160.75.111.14
waooovv good very thanks

A nice note from ‘evden eve nakliyat’, who must think this blog is written by more than one young man:

evden eve nakliyat | [email protected] | evdenevenakliyat-b. blogspot.com | IP: 160.75.111.14
thank you boys

Look, ‘evden eve nakliyat ‘ changed his email address (there by ensuring he would never ever get any link juice.)

evden eve nakliyat | [email protected] | evdenevenakliyat-a. blogspot.com | IP: 160.75.111.14
thank you very good

‘etkileyici msn nickleri ‘who must be fascinated reading “thank you” over and over:

etkileyici msn nickleri | [email protected] | etkileyici-msn-nickleri.blogspot.com | IP: 160.75.111.14
thnak you i read all comment,this site super

msn nickleri | [email protected] | guzel-msn-nickleri.blogspot.com | IP: 160.75.111.14
thanks nice working

Someone, who like the others, is using a keyboard with no “Caps” key:

forum | [email protected] | komple.org | IP: 160.75.111.14
thank you good work

‘evden eve nakliyat’ using yet another email address:

evden eve nakliyat | [email protected] | evdenevenakliyatcim.net | IP: 160.75.111.14
thank you yoru work

Does anyone even know where “.gz” is? Do they really want me to visit their site map?

msn nickleri | [email protected] | hayalbahcesi.net/urllist.txt.gz | IP: 160.75.111.14
thank you from your writing

conquer online | [email protected] | hayalbahcesi.net/sitemap_1.xml.gz | IP: 160.75.111.14
nice collection

I always love smilies. :)

knight online | [email protected] | hayalbahcesi.net/sitemap_index.xml.gz | IP: 160.75.111.14
thank you good job ;)

Fortunately, this is the last one, but notice they are very very grateful!

tsubasa | [email protected] | hayalbahcesi.net | IP: 160.75.111.14
thank you very very much

Well…. these notes of gratitude are very sweet. But, I think these grateful people need to learn that to get a follow they must match all three of the following at once:

  1. The “first name” in the name field.
  2. The full email address and
  3. The top level domain.

I mean, it’s just a shame that after all that effort with a broken keyboard, they never got a “follow”. Or were these “extremely relevant comments” added these using ‘Blog Comment Poster”? (Yes, such things exist. Yes, I’m making sure I learn their features. No, I don’t think you should buy it.)

Of course, when I saw all 13 matching IP’s I hurled these into Akismet’s spam maw. I’m sure you’ll do the same when ‘evden eve nakliyat’ from IP: 160.75.111.14 visits your site. But he probably won’t visit because by now, I’m sure Akismet has figured out that IP: 160.75.111.14 is a spammer.

Hey, what a terrific comment by “Url Hiding!” It’s so great! I found similar ones everywhere! :) Here’s the version left at my blog:

Url Hiding | [email protected] | shorten.ws | IP: 72.52.145.58
Hello, I came across your blog posting after searching for url hiding and your post on Sponsored Categories Plugin : Big Bucks Blogger makes an interesting read. Thanks for sharing. I will research more next Monday when I have the day off.

“Protect Url” left a similar content, but plans to return on Sunday. Gosh, I hope he uses an Alexa toolbar, I need the Alexa boost!

Did URL promise to visit others?

After getting the honest comment trying to sell me comment spam software, I thought “Hhmmm… this looks suspicious.” Do, I Googled. Here’s what I found at Venture beat:

Hello, I came across your blog posting after searching for sports betting sites and your post on more makes an interesting read. Thanks for sharing. I will research more next Thursday when I have the day off.

Look, Jessica is also into SEO and left a comment at SEO News Blog:

Hello, I came across your blog posting after searching for sports betting sites and your post on dsense paying keywords - week 7 - Poker and Gambling niche at SEO News Blog makes an interesting read. Thanks for sharing. I will research more next Thursday when I have the day off.

When she’s not spamming, Jessica has promised to visit Dark Mirage, Cannon Fodder and several other blogs. So far, URL Hiding and Protect URL seem to have visited only me!

Akismet is catching these, but if one gets through to your blog, you may need more spam protection.
