As a relative newbie to Wordpress, I have (finally) discovered the elations of Akismet. I logged in to see over 130 spam-labeled comments. Most of them are mish-mashed paragraphs of URL gobbledegook, but others are marvelous in their deception. Check out some of these!
John Smith | Nice, but I think it is sometimes not enough to get it complete.
Max |ton College Cemetery, Clinton, NY at New York Traveler.net thanks for this post!
Daniel |I couldn’t understand some parts of this article tone Fort in Schoharie, NY at New York Traveler.net, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
Karan |I found your blog via Google while searching for new york travel guide and your post regarding py at New York Traveler.net looks very interesting to me. I have seen many sites before and most of them do not look this good. I cannot wait to let my friends know about this site. Thanks for the excellent content.
Those make me laugh, because they are “imposter” comments. They are taken from actual comments by actual non-spam readers. The spammer perverts the content, adds an email address that is very similar to the real URL of the real friend who made a real comment; but the URL is usually about insurance or loans; and thus tries to get it past the discerning Akismet eye. LOL. Spammers, go get your own blogs.

I don’t know what I’d do without Akismet! I posted a while back about breast cancer on my other site and I am STILL getting all sorts of spam for drugs. I love hitting “delete all”!

Hi, Becky! Thanks for visiting! You leave near the Finger Lakes?!?! Ooooo ahhhh. It’s so beautiful there. If you are interested, check out my New York Travel Map (see the navigation bar at the very top) for an archived map showing all our travels. You might like it.
Lynne, LOL, yes I love that “delete all” button, too! I am finding it very handy! Thanks for visiting!

Hehehehe! Only so true, I’m always amused by the spam that askemet catches on a blog that I hardly ever write on (not the one in my name) which is always just so, well, prolific!
