Deleted Theory » Microsoft http://deletedtheory.com Just another WordPress weblog Mon, 26 Jul 2010 18:38:43 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Akismet, Spam & iPhone http://deletedtheory.com/2008/12/akismet-spam-iphone/ http://deletedtheory.com/2008/12/akismet-spam-iphone/#comments Sat, 27 Dec 2008 20:25:11 +0000 viller http://blog.deletedtheory.com/?p=33 I use the Akismet comment spam filter for WordPress to detect approximately 350 spam comments per day. Interestingly, most of those comments are on a single post which mentions the iPhone. I am not a spam expert, but this makes it pretty obvious that comment spammers are targeting posts based on keywords. I wonder what some of the other keywords might be?

Electronics:
apple, iPod, Nano, iPhone, Google, Microsoft, g1, android, blackberry, perl, storm

Pharmaceuticals:
Viagra, prescription drugs

Self “Improvement”:
weight loss, enhancement, enlargement, surgical procedures, all natural

Feel free to comment with your own spam keywords, because I am sure Akismet is up for the challenge.
