During that time, some black-hearted homegrown SEO guru decided s/he was going show everyone how to get free links. The guru pulled out a "do follow" blog roll and passed it out to his or her friends. The guru, who may or may not be charging for this list, which has always been free, says, "Now take this list and get 100 links before you check back in for some more great SEO tips tomorrow."
Unfortunately, my blog, Advertising for Success, is first on most lists. So I get the first barrage. Incoming! I just want to show you how to spot these bogus comments with just a glance.

You can spot bogus comments by several different tells (tracks, spoors) they leave behind.
- Multiple comments by same person, sometimes on same post.
- Comments on older blog posts.
- Comments are basic throwaway comments: Good Job! Great Blog! Love the Blog!
- Time post shows that most of these comments were made between 8:37 AM and 9:10 AM. What are the odds?
I will be back with more comment spam busters as soon as I feel a little better.
