Alert: "This is a very interesting blog and so i like"

Recently I wrote a post about others writing comments on blogs which appear to be generic compliments Today I received the following comment on my blog.

Alan has left a new comment on your post "Alert: Westpac - Security

and again. Keep it up.

I decided to check to see how many times this type of comment appeared on the internet so I typed "This is a very interesting blog and so i like" into Google. I felt this string of text should be sufficiently unique to located similar comments on other blogs and suggest others use this approach.

The number of pages returned by Google was 12,100. Some of the pages date back to 2008, so this generic comment approach has been in use for a couple of years.

The aim of this article is to share with other small businesses that comments on their sites should be treated with care. You may inadvertently end up directing your users to sites you'd prefer not to.
