I love the generic “You are right” comments, lately all spam I get are these bogus insane compliments that always happen to have a link to some dodgy site. I’m pretty sure lots of people accept those kind of comments just because, well, everybody likes to be told they are right. :)

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, we are also forced to use comment moderation because of all the quasi-real “nice post” type of comments, or they grab the post title and work it into the nonsense comment.

The battle continues… 😉

Or created by apps. that people can use like ‘Comment Kahuna’ to find dozens of blogs in a related niche to their site and write one generic non specific comment (Usually complimentary) and then click to send it to all those blogs. Sometimes they can be hard to spot but my rule of thumb is that if the comment has zero bearing on the post it’s a link fishing exercise.
