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.
