Marcus writes about how short comment spam is getting by Aismet:
I’ve been seeing a lot of short spam comments bypass Akismet’s spam filters on this blog lately. This type of blog spam is a rather clever way to deceive the less-astute bloggers who don’t realize that it’s spam and approve the comment because it’s perceived as marginally relevant, only because it’s so general and vague.
This is one word blog spam that says something like:
* “excellent” or
* “great post”or
* “i agree”
* “nice”
* …Then the URL is a spammy backlink and email is made up. By the fact that I’m seeing so many of these get through, I’m guessing they’re effective.
I agree.
Great post.
Nice.
