You Want To What?

Today's Are They For Real Comment comes from my loans blog. It was on a post about mortgage interest rates being on the rise. I received the following feedback:

Tremendous things here. I am very glad to look your article.Thank you a lot and I am looking forward to touch you.Will you please drop me a e-mail?

Geeze! Thanks for the compliment but the last time someone asked me to email them so they could touch me, it didn't end so well!

Well That's Just Rude!

Today's Are They For Real Comment was submitted from a reader who runs a blog at www.colorushealthy.com. It was on a post titled Albany Last Run 5K 2013. It was a post talking about a Christmas 5K run in the Albany, NY area. She received the following feedback:

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something enlightening to read? 
Wow now I've seem many different angles to get a spam comment posted but this is the first time I've seen someone be quite this rude. At first read you might even think that, while rude, they are just giving their honest opinion. However if you go to the post where they made this comment you'll realize there isn't even a video! LOL

Commas Are Important

Today's Are They For Real Comment comes from my worm blog. It was on a post titled, "The Scientific Name for Earthworms". Here is the comment:

Cheap Women nfl Jerseys Free Shipping, Wholesale Women nfl Jerseys from china with best service and free gift can get.
Now upon the first read I was thinking this is a guy trying to sell NFL apparel geared toward women. But, like all bloggers, I get a ton of spam. With all my experience I know that many of these spammy comments are written by folks whose first language is not English. As you can imagine, things like spelling and punctuation are not skills that are these folks could brag about at the dinner table.

With that said I'm wondering if instead of just NFL apparel, maybe this guy is really selling from a couple niches, if he meant for the punctuation to look more like this...

Cheap Women, NFL Jerseys, Free Shipping, Wholesale Women, NFL Jerseys, from China with best service and free gift can set. 
Well now it's really a whole new ball game! They still don't get their spammy comment approved on my site, but I did get a nice laugh.

PS - Keep your gift our of my can!

Thanks Jersey Guy, But My Name Is Mike

Today's Are They For Real Comment comes from my personal loans blog. It was on a post titled "What is a Loan?" Someone named Vikings Jerseys had this to say:

Such a simple concept many website developers have still yet to grasp. Great post Matt
 Wow isn't that the most general template for blog post spam I've ever seen! I'm trying to figure out if his spammy template includes the "Great post Matt" or if he really thinks my name is Matt? Either way I got a kick out of this one!

Today's Are They For Real Comment again come from my loans blog. It was from a blog post where I was talking about the top 3 ways to raise your credit score so you can get a personal loan. I received this for feedback:

Somewhat on Topic?

Oh man, today's Are They for Real Comment is great. It is a comment from my worm blog from a post titled, "Vacuum Bag in Bin". It is a post about whether or not it's a good idea to put the contents of your vacuum cleaner bag into your worm bin. I got this comment in response:

My site Blood circulation to and from with the penis retulages an penile erection. During sex-related arousal, any blood flow heightens to two mushy, structures (corpus cavemosum) this lie parallel towards the urethra, which often carries urine and also semen .
I got a kick out of them saying that what he's talking about happens during sex-related arousal. Is there another kind of arousal? LOL.

At first I thought this comment was just completely off topic. But then I got thinking...my vacuum cleaner sucks...and...well you get the picture.



Sweet Sally!

Today's Are They For Real Comment really made me laugh out loud! It's from my earthworm recycling blog on a post titled, "Kitchen Compost Container". As you might guess this was a post talking about a container which you set up in your kitchen to let your worms live in and compost your left over food for you. I received this comment as feedback:

Love it, sweet Sally.You do come up with the cutest jokes…I sure am glad you share them with all of us.I just flat can’t wait for your new house to be ready to move in. You’ll be in by Christmas…won’t you? How fun to deoarcte a brand new house. Amazing!!xo bj

This person is just so excited by the content of this post. What is worth noting though is the post contained no jokes and I am not building a new house. I will likely decorate my house for Christmas but I do that every year in this house and didn't mention it in the blog either. I agree this is Amazing!

I was ready to totally discount all this person had to say, but then she signed up with hugs and kisses, BJ... Now I think I might want to meet her ;)

Gibberish

Sometimes the Are They For Real Comments are funny because they are just so crazy. Sometimes they are funny because they are typos. Sometimes it because they clearly have a plan to make some money that is so clearly misguided. Today though is an example of of one that is just complete and total gibberish. The kind of thing that you just feel bad for someone who actually spend the time typing that in because the so obviously wasted 5 minutes of their life!

So today's Are They For Real Comment is from my personal loan blog. It's in response to a blog post titled "Top Three Ways to Raise Your Credit Score":

Everyone loves these kind of %anchor%! They can fit so well, and all my friend like them all. I had the particular bleak. Excellent. Each with everything. I really deliver all of them with Jeans, tights, shorts as well as leggings. I’m sure they are a great deal more useful while they can be distressed many tactics and so are remarkably crafted and classy! Love!

Man! What in the world are they even trying to say. Clearly I guess they are just trying to get as many keywords in a paragraph as possible. %anchor% is from some kind of template where they were supposed to add in the link anchor text but they missed the boat totally. 

Love!

"Such A Stuff Like This"

Today's Are They For Real Comment is from my Loans Blog. It was on a post titled, "Should I Finance My Car With A Home Equity Loan?" For all my hard work breaking down the pros and cons of the subject, I received the following thoughtful feedback:

I have to show my thanks to this writer just for bailing me out of such a crisis. Just after searching throughout the world wide web and coming across views which are not beneficial, I believed my entire life was done. Living devoid of the solutions to the issues you’ve solved as a result of your good review is a critical case, and ones which could have in a negative way affected my career if I had not noticed the blog. Your personal know-how and kindness in taking care of a lot of things was crucial. I am not sure what I would have done if I hadn’t encountered such a stuff like this. It’s possible to at this moment relish my future. Thanks for your time so much for your high quality and results-oriented guide. I will not hesitate to endorse the blog to anyone who would need guidelines about this subject.

Where to begin with this one? It almost sounds like a real comment with glowing feedback until you really read it. My favorite phrase is where they say they hadn't encountered such a stuff. Apparently I'm a real life saver!

I also love that they are so excited about my information and they won't hesitate to endorse my blog to anyone in need on the subject. Not to someone interested in an auto loan, a loan, or a home equity loan. Some one interested in the subject. Cut and paste much? lol.

Persistently Quickly

Today's Are They For Real Comment comes from my worm blog. It was on a post about the scientific names for earthworms. After explaining the class, phylum, etc to which earthworms belong, I received the following feedback:

Attractive portion of content. I just stumbled upon your weblog and in accession capital to claim that I get actually loved account your blog posts. Any way I will be subscribing for your feeds and even I achievement you access persistently quickly.

This little gems looks like it's spun content. Basically a piece of software which will take an original paragraph and spin it around replacing with synonyms to look like original content. I tend to think the ones that you can tell someone actually wrote and thought made good sense to be funnier. However, knowing that this person was able to achieve access persistently quickly is going to crack me up for a while :)

Right Book, Wrong Chapter

Today's Are They For Real Comment comes from my worm blog. That's right a worm blog that talks about home earthworm recycling. The specific post was about red wiggler facts (red wigglers are a specific breed of earthworm). I received this comment:

Wrong worm buddy! :p

Monday, September 23, 2013

At this moment I am ready to do my breakfast, afterward having my breakfast coming over again to read additional ...

Short and sweet. Gotta love that. Sounds like this pour soul is more hungry then he is worried about getting a loan, lol.

My Girl Gaga!

Today's Are They For Real Comment is a doosie! It comes from my loans blog which mainly talks about mortgages, auto loans, and online personal loans. This specific post was dealing with the topic of Loans for the Unemployed and I received this gem for feedback:


What i do not understood is actuallpy how you are no longer actually a
lot more smartly-favored thjan you may be right now. You are so intelligent.
You know thus considerably in relation to this matter, produced me individually conswider it from
so many varied angles. Its like men and women aren’t fascinated unless it
is one thing to do with Girl gaga! Your individual stuffs excellent.

All the time deal with it up!

At first I really thought this commenter was onto something. I am indeed really intelligent! And in general I hope that I am ALWAYS smartyly-favored, now matter how many angles you look at it from!

But then they lost me when they started talking about Girl Gaga. At my stuff is excellent. 

Stay tuned as I'll likely soon start selling bumper stickers here on this site...first one up..."All the time deal with it up!"

Well said spammy commenter. Well said!

You Did What With Your Nostril?

Today's Are They For Real Comment comes from my worm composting blog again. Earthworm recycling seems to be a topic that really brings in the weirdos when it comes to spammy comments. This blog post was specifically talking about fishing earthworms, to which I received this:

He thoughted of this”intergalactic battleship” continuously for two years, ground trip to China, that madly the condition still comes clearly to view.He suddenly humed 1 from the nostril.

Say what?

What exactly is got humed from this guys nose? I'm guess that maybe this is some kind of quote from some science fiction book. At least I was thinking this until the last sentence about snot rockets!

What's Taking Place, Man?!

Today's Are They For Real Comment comes from my wife's blog, Colorushealthy.com. It's a healthy living blog which talks about exercise, specifically running, and healthy eating. The comment was in response to a blog post titled:  Healthy Recipes for Bad Mamajamas. The post is talking about specific recipes for folks that follow her site and are recognized as Bad Mamajamas. To this topic she received the following comment:

What's Taking place i'm new to this, I stumbled upon this I have discovered
It absolutely useful and it has aided me out loads.
I hope to give a contribution & help other customers like its
helped me. Good job.

The part that really made me laugh is the opening. "What's Taking Place" I'm assuming that is a question. I pictured it asked by only the absolute nerdiest kid in school. Hey man, What's Taking Place? lol. 

Also that this specific content has aided them out loads! I guess there are a million funny lines I could write about that, but I'll allow you to fill in the blank here ;) I'll also ask that this spammer keep his loads to himself in the future :)

Muscle Car?

I really like today's Are They For Real Comment because it is all over the map on it's own, let alone that it has nothing to do with the content of the blog post. This one comes from a blog I run about personal loans, mortgages, and financial info. It is a comment on a post titled "Cheap Unsecured Loans". And here is the gem:

If somebody wants to try out their Car Loans. Many who are trying to lose those extra
pounds. During the rest period, your muscles are actually repairing the slight tearing in their fibers I was talking about earlier.

I had such high hopes when I read the first sentence. I mean at least it was talking about loans which is the topic of the blog. But then it went down hill quickly from there. I'm not sure how they got from car loans to losing those extra pounds, to rebuilding muscle so fast? Maybe they are driving a muscle car? Either way they have me whiplash with the fast topic changes!

Don't forget if you run a blog (or any site) which gets funny spammy comments, send the over. Just let me know the blog address, the topic of the blog post, and the exact comment. I'll post it here with a link to your blog.

Short and Sweet

Today's Are They for Real Comment comes again from my organic worm composting blog. I've had this blog for quite some time, so I guess it attracts lots of spam. Thank god for a good spam blocker!

So this comment came on a blog post about the scientific name for earthworms:

"I take up for good people regardless of whatever."

Well thanks for the great feedback! Thanks for much for taking me up! I'll keep up the good work, regardless of whatever!!!!

Ahead Of It's Time

Today's Are They For Real Comment really made me laugh. It's just one of those that is so far out there that you have to laugh to keep from crying.

It is a comment on post Titled: "The Scientific Name of Earthworms" from my composting worms blog. After discussing what the scientific name of earthworms is, I received the following comment:


Jimi’s ” Burning of the Midnight Lamp. A very strange wah-wah effect. Ahead of it’s time.


WTF?! lol

How did we get from A to B? I'm assuming they are talking about Jimmy Hendrix, and how the wah-wah effect he used was ahead of it's time? Can't say that I would disagree, I'm just not sure if the proper place for this debate is nestled into the comments about what Scientists chose to refer to my  fishing bait?!

Right on Topic Buddy

Today's Are They For Real Comment comes from a loans blog that I run. It is a comment which was placed on a blog post titled "Credit Cards and your Mortgage Approval". As you might imagine the post discussed how your credit card usage can effect your approval possibilities when you got for a mortgage. I received this comment...


"In other words, they go against the grain of the careers their parents had. Below are listed
a few popular pubs where one can chill in Mumbai. They feature almost nightly drink specials and some form of entertainment every night of the week–DJ’s, live music, trivia, you name it."

Totally awesome feedback buddy! Instead of buying a ranch house in Toledo, maybe I'll max our my credit cards on a whirlwind pub crawl through Mumbai.

Thanks Grasshopper

This next funny comment is again from my worm composting blog. It is a comment on a specific post which I was writing about worm farming. After some somewhat in depth writing I received the following comment:

"The knowledge here is really quite helpful. I have been taught many helpful hints."

Well thanks for the very insightful feedback buddy. Now get back to your full time job writing fortune cookie slips!
I suppose at a first look maybe that just looks like a nice little comment. But after seeing thousands of these kind of spam comments over the years, you can easily spot the scammers. When they are very vague like this, they are spamming!

Blood Pressure?

This comment is from a composting worm blog of mine, www.wormcompostingorganic.com. Its a comment from a specific post "Earthworm Habitat Experiment Day 11" which was from a series where I was running some daily experiments with the worms in my worm bin. In response to this experiment report I received this comment...

"The main idea to purchase a blood pressure monitor is because you want a fast and accurate machine that you can easily operate at home. You want something that straps on and with a push of a button reads and finishes the reading in less than 3 minutes. That’s the standard you want to put up."

Well thank you for the great feed back. I may actually need to check my blood pressure after receiving comments like these, lol.
