OK, someone explain this one to me. I am still being hit with as many as a few dozen comment spams per day. The latest one that just came in has me really scratching my head. The link in it is to www.google.ru, Google in Russia. I say it again - THE COMMENT SPAMMER’S URL IS GOOGLE.RU.

Now, the conspiracy theorist in me is screaming that this is somehow Google up to “no good” and employing their own blackhat tricks. But - WHY??? If it’s just a random comment spammer, what the hell could they possibly stand to gain by spamming a Google URL? Makes absolutely no sense to me.

I’ve had Website Position Wizard ever since it was first announced, and when the paid “Pro” version was released, I jumped on the upgrade. As mass ranking-check programs go, this one was the easiest to work with in terms of push a single button and get all your results. Only thing was, I had to run it manually every day if I wanted daily data. Yes, I could’ve written an AutoHotKey script to automate the process, but that takes time and frankly it just never seemed to warrant that much effort.

I have been repeatedly comment spammed recently by someone or someones. I haven’t spent enough time on it to bother seeing if it’s the same IP on all of them or not.

Bottom line is - you are wasting your time (even though they are clearly being automated - and in an odd sort of way, for that I commend you! =) I just go into my admin panel and mass-delete the comments with one button push. It is at most, mildly amusing/annoying. However you should know that I went ahead and contacted various channels and pointed them in your direction, so it’s possible you’ll get a phone call/email/visit in the near future to, er… kindly ask you to stop.

I have gotten so used to this amazing little gem, that I tend to forget about it. Well, I just did a major computer upgrade, which means I have to reinstall all my tools, including this one. Which of course reminded me of how absolutely hooked on it I am, and that I really should be telling everyone else about it!!

The nice part is, I already wrote about it some time ago, in this post! So, I don’t even have to write again. Just this little reminder of how absolutely awesome this tool is. The instant I don’t have it installed any more, boy do I know it! Not a happy feeling.
