You’re right, it’s a sad fact that there’s enough morons clicking the links to make it worthwhile

At the risk of sounding completely new, (which I am), surely the practice must bring some benefit to the spammers for it to persist. I mean Google AdWords suckers me in all the time when I try to use it for affiliate marketing. It’s like sitting by the phone waiting for a date to call up. Sure, a few of my clicks turn into commissions, but most of my campaigns aren’t profitable so I turn them off… but I’m always hopeful, and there’s always that allure of Affiliate Millions. So… what kind of return on investment do spammers get? Or Nigerian widows?

It’s right up there with those emails I get trying to entice me to have a bigger Penls. LOL I wonder where in the double helix the moron gene resides…never mind. If I have to ask, I might be one!

I shall post in more detail, but a combination of Bad Behavior, Simple Spam Filter and Akismet seems to do the trick!

I think I’m currently at 25,000. Your other spam plugins must be pretty good.

I’ve long thought we should do a well-written Nigerian widow letter…. Maybe one written in standard English would actually snare someone.

Your other plugins must be doing a good job. In 11 months, Akismet has caught 39,300+ spam comments on my blog.
