I mean, if I were to target a niche, say SEO, I could type up about 10-50 actual long relevent targetted comments, and then just copy/paste my way through 100s of blog posts.. Every article I can find on buyblogcomments, I can just post this comment I've written right here.  Anyone who would have blogged about these guys probably will write about the same thing, and.. who would actually see this comment here as a piece of spam??&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;----&lt;br&gt;//comment template off//.. no.. i'm not really doing this, but I could see how a comment like my lame one above could make it through any 'human filter' out there.  Honestly, right now, its not even about the # of backlinks you have, its about the quality, so a targetted attack like this, I do it enough times, I could rank #2 for buyblogcomments if I really wanted to....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;yay. on to start my lame empire&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Kline</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 22 Oct 2007 21:22:41 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: BuyBlogComments.com: Blog Comments And Backlinks For Sale</title><link>http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/2007/07/11/buyblogcommentscom-blog-comments-and-backlinks-for-sale/#comment-15283257</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I guess I somewhat disagree with your notion.  The reason that most people comment at all is because they can call attention to their own site or blog.  If this wasn't true why would they even bother putting their website in the website field on the comment form - just like everyone who has posted a comment here has...  So, are they ALL spam.  Your argument would seem to say yes, even though they are relevant.  95% of the time people comment to call attention to their own site - simple as that.  So, if the comments you buy are really relevant, there's little difference...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And anyone posting here can't argue otherwise - they put their URL in the &lt;strong&gt;optional&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; Website field.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Aaron</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 27 Sep 2007 17:48:43 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: BuyBlogComments.com: Blog Comments And Backlinks For Sale</title><link>http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/2007/07/11/buyblogcommentscom-blog-comments-and-backlinks-for-sale/#comment-15283256</link><description>&lt;p&gt;@Shankar&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That won't help solve this problem - as human 'spammers' will just keep doing what they are doing&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Everton</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 12 Jul 2007 01:34:46 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: BuyBlogComments.com: Blog Comments And Backlinks For Sale</title><link>http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/2007/07/11/buyblogcommentscom-blog-comments-and-backlinks-for-sale/#comment-15283255</link><description>&lt;p&gt;May be you should add the image verifycation method to avoid a few spammers. In one of my forum, I added a checkbox near the login form saying "I am not a spam" and the forums logs in only when u tick that checkbox. This simple idea reduced the spammers by 90%. and only a hardcore human spammer who is dare to do these thing come now which is easy to block. :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Shankar</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 12 Jul 2007 00:25:36 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: BuyBlogComments.com: Blog Comments And Backlinks For Sale</title><link>http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/2007/07/11/buyblogcommentscom-blog-comments-and-backlinks-for-sale/#comment-15283254</link><description>&lt;p&gt;A lot of people are saying SK2 is better than Akismet.

I won't be dropping DoFollow unless it has an adverse affect on my site. What I may do, though, is review my comment policy so that I will only accept comments where people use their real name or a non-product/site related handle.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mike</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 11 Jul 2007 20:02:59 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: BuyBlogComments.com: Blog Comments And Backlinks For Sale</title><link>http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/2007/07/11/buyblogcommentscom-blog-comments-and-backlinks-for-sale/#comment-15283252</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I have no qualms whatsoever about leaving the meat of a comment and stripping out the URL and even a company name. It's a lot of additional work for me, bu i actually mod all comments right now. I really do need to get a good spam filter system in place, but I read reviews for each of them and it seems that genuine comments sometimes sift into the spam catch.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Angie</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 11 Jul 2007 14:28:57 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: BuyBlogComments.com: Blog Comments And Backlinks For Sale</title><link>http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/2007/07/11/buyblogcommentscom-blog-comments-and-backlinks-for-sale/#comment-15283251</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Le Baron&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's probably because Akismet isn't the fastest to adapt and spam levels have increased in general over the last 10 days.
