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!

Selling Furs

Today's Are They For Real Comment comes from my worm blog. It was on a post titled "Snap Crackle Pop - Red Wigglers". It was a post talking about the noise that I could hear coming from my worm bin. I received the following feedback:

Relevance

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:

This site was… how do I say it? Relevant!! Finally I havefound something that helped me. Many thanks!

I think it's great the gusto with which they describe relevance! I totally agree my post was indeed relevant, however I really strive for a bit more then just being relevant. Many Thanks Indeed!

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!
