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.
