We all have ambitions in our lives. What's yours? I'm not gonna talk about HOW TO achieve your ambitions or sort of a topic. But a thought hit me when I was going through some spammy comments. Hmm... You already know the reasons why some comments may not get approved. We all talk about being non-spammy, ethical, earning respect and all that. But why don't we talk a little about hard working spammers? Don't we need spammers? Not for us, but for businesses.
Comment Spam
Today we are gonna talk about being a spammer, especially in blog commenting. If 1000s of people can be spammers, why can't you? I've learnt a lot by observing spammers and it's easy for you to follow too. Actually it's very FUNtastic. They stand out from rest of the people. Build an unique authority online. Get banned or blacklisted everywhere. It's another story, but obstacles are for those who are working. Isn't it?
You can just go spam and BAM!, it just go into thin air. Before start spamming (or I'd say promoting?), you need to find what actions help us to be recognized or awarded as a spammer. It's called SBA - Spammer Behavioral Analysis. Can you imagine being in the list of TOP 10 spammers in the World? What a feeling!
This post has been inspired by true spammers ;) I'm grateful enough to spammers for stopping by on my weblog and showing me their true colors without being hesitant.
Don't Use Your Personal Name
Just because you don't use your personal name, it doesn't mean everyone believes you are a spammer. But it's one step forward to hide your true identity online and be eligible to feel like a robot.
Never use your personal name in the name field when you engage in spamming. Bloggers expect commenters to be leave the true identity when commenting. Who cares? You don't need to play by rules as you just wanna promote your stuff. Using your real name will kill your true identity and you won't be able to use it later on. So start using a fake name. Using a fake name won't leave any clues and you can use another name if you got banned. Being a spammer means you need to be very good at faking and act like a robot.
Let's look into few names to be used when spamming.
If you are representing a company or brand, you can start with it. Use your company name and it might give some exposure for your company name too.
Here's few examples:
○ Best SEO Software in Pacific Ocean - PacificSEO
○ Batman Shoe Makers
○ Mayura4Ever
You can use a weird or catchy username,
○ TipToe44
○ HelloKitty17
○ Womanizer
○ InvisibleHulk
Use your blog or website address,
○ www.spamlove.com
○ drinkalchol.net
○ allSEOsolutions.com
Use some promotional phrases,
○ 60% Discount for Bananas - Monkey.com
○ FREE gift for you @ Pijamas.com
Leave a Link to Your Blog or Website
The best tip ever and you don't wanna miss this one. Have a look at below comment.
Brandon1978 - Hello Mayura, I have a problem with my comment form at my blog. I followed your steps and implemented comment plugin. But when I try to post a comment, I'm getting an error message. You can see at my blog - brandon1978.com. Thanks.
He's a spammer? Leaving the link to his blog is helpful to his query, else we don't know where to look at. He's not qualified to be a spammer and not intending either. Let's take a look at another,
Hamlotica - Hi Mayura, I've never come across such informative posts and beautiful writing as yours. Your blog rocks and I read it everyday since yesterday. http://www.fakemarketing.com
Ingenious, right? :) Isn't it makes author the best blogger in the World? Also shows how loyal Hamlotica is. Leaving the link will expose that site to everyone who reads that comment and readers might click to see what's it all about. You know what? More traffic to the site. Plus, may be some link juice. Now that's being a real spammer.
If you are lazy enough and feel overwhelmed, you can try a shorter version.
JCruze - Thank you so much, nice info wptips.wordpress.com
Short, sweet and rocking like a spammer :) Further, you can be a SMART spammer by writing comments relevant to the post or article to convince that you really read it. Who doesn't love compliments and more comments?
Dr. Who - Hi Mayura, Your writing inspired me to start blogging again. I followed your instructions and added facebook like button to my blog posts and pages. Thank you. http://drwhoisn0t.blogspot.com
Wanna be even more SMARTER?
Mr. Buddy - Hello Mayura, Your Facebook comment box worked like a charm to me. But when I explore online, I found that Facebook comments are not being crawled by Google. No SEO advantage. You can use this script <object data='http://www.myblog.com' type='text/html' width='450 px'> to see if it can help. It worked for me. Thanks for your generous instruction.
Feels like an interesting and a caring reader :) Even such a comment can comes from a person who doesn't wanna spam at all. AND mostly bloggers might not think it's about spamming either.
Don't worry. As I know, bloggers never take few seconds to google for such a comment to see if you have been spamming on other blogs with the same comment too. So you are safe ;) But BEWARE!, some SMART bloggers out there too.

Be Irrelevant
Being irrelevant is another characteristic of spammers. Not smarter ones though. You can post same message over and over in similar type of blogs to earn more rewarding points to your spammy profile.
How about a comment like below for a personal blog?
Lissy - You have wonderful piece of information all over your site and why don't you turn it into a goldmine? To earn easy money with 99.9% commissions, visit nocommissionatall.com
Oops... Lissy has no idea what she's talking about. AND that's one of characteristics of spammers. Haven't thought about it, eh? ;)
Use Hidden Links
Now you can be 2x SMARTER and beat Level-01 spammers by using hidden links. You have a long way to go.
BubbleWoof - Hey Mayura, I have installed Pinterest pin it button successfully and pinned few of my images to Pinterest too. Please let me know how to pin images with pin it button.
Did you notice? Using an anchor text at the end of the comment and still it feels like a general and relevant comment. How ingenious a spammer can be? This is a very smart technique to be a smart spammer. Still finding? Click on underlined pin it button text ;)
Get Inspired
Have you heard of bloggers inspiring bloggers? But ever heard of spammers inspiring spammers? You might never look into it but if you analyze some spammy comments, you will be amazed.
Eventhough you don't tell me, I'm sure you noticed that I can't write creatively like a spammer ;) So I thought of including a real spammy comment. Time for some inspiration.
