I think the spammers are getting smarter. My spam filter caught the following comment:
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
{Name}
Where {Name} was the persons name, and I thought to myself, “Oh, that’s not spam,” but just below that was a comment that was just a modified version of the same comment. I followed the link to the websites they gave me, and sure enough they were connected. I also did a search for sites that link to the website they provided, and there were similar comments made in wordpress (the software that I’m using), so it seems like it was just there for them to get a link to their own blog.
Looks like Akismet is pretty smart after all.
