Spam On a Blog

So spam on a blog is a given, I suppose, so really, why get all angsty about it? The world wide web is just that web of people all across the world, and we all have our own reasons and motivations for what we do here.

Some of us write blog posts we hope will attract interested readers for information or amusement, others have quite different reasons for delving around the blogging world. The Spammers, for instance, want to get more people visiting their own blog, so drop links to it almost at randome, with comments that don’t necessarily make any sense at all, to my mind.

But then I am an Australian, and English is the language I use, while I suspect many spammers I meet on my blogs have a language other than English as their first language. Well done to them for trying, I suppose.

I don’t get angry about such unwanted comments, I just check my blogs, when I think of it, and delete such comments. And sometimes I have to admit, I have a giggle at the ‘mis-writings’ I read there!

And to be honest, the way my blogs are not attracting many comments at all sometimes, even a bit of spam is welcome, it gives me something to read … How sad is that little confession? Never mind, I have new platform to write on, and it’s far more interactive than blogging on WordPress is.

The new platform is Medium, and this is a link to my most recent post there: link Why not take a look at the site, maybe you could make tiny little bits of money there too! That comment will make more sense after you’ve read my post on Medium …
