spam comments

My recent entry got an anonymous comment with subject "claim insurance" and with the text "Good entry. I appreciate you for posting it. Keep up the fine blogging." Usually when I get a spam comment, the email notification shows hidden links which don't show up in the actual comment. But this one doesn't, which made me uncertain at first if it really was spam or not. That comment text would be a nice way of phrasing that you liked someone's posts. But based on the subject, it most certainly was spam, and whatever link they were trying to post in the subject line must have gotten stripped out before the notification was sent.

Interestingly, Google has 4450 hits for that exact comment text. Most of them seem to be spam as well, with various subject lines, some linking to other sites.

I've been getting more spam comments lately than in the past... 1 or 2 a week.
If you don't have an account you can create one now.
HTML doesn't work in the subject.
