    LOL, I Got Blog Comment Spammed by Bondage.com!

    This is too funny, I just got hit with blog comment spam by Bondage.com. I am honored -- little fish noticed by very big fish -- but geez, fellas, don't you think you could have just bought an ad like everybody else? I'm sure you can afford it, and my rates are very reasonable. Sheesh!

    Here's the blog comment spam, which landed on an old post I made about funny/bad BDSM personals:
    gateway commented on June 26th, 2005: e

    bondage.com is a huge bondage/fetish/bdsm community site.. and you can get your account free.. im just passing this on..

    bondage.com
    Note the poster (gateway) and the fact that a gateway69 has been posting on here for Bondage.com lately. Email provided with the blog spam was [email protected].

    I'm not mad, I just think it's funny that a reputable outfit like this is cheap/low enough to spam its URl in blog comments. I shook Mark Pace's hand in Phoenix and got his card, and I've exchanged friendly banter with Aiken here on GFY. I'm a bondage.com affiliate and never had any problems. So far as I know, these are all good guys and good to do business with. But blog spammers! I can't stop chortling.

    Normally I nuke spam like this from the moderation queue, but I approved this one because it tickled me so. I'll delete it in a few days I suppose.

      As long as the comment was on topic, then there is nothing wrong. And it is nice to be noticed.

        Heh, most people consider spamming a pretty low form of behavior. And this was hardly relevant -- it was a thread about bad bdsm personals, and Gateway didn't make any effort to contribute to the thread or tie his comment into what was being discussed.

        But I'm not saying it was wrong -- I'm saying it was funny to find out that the bondage.com folks (well, one of 'em anyway) are spammers.

            Yeah, well, see how you feel after you've spent a year or two deleting spam comments every day. Sure, it's marketing -- but so is door-to-door selling, and I bet you're not too pleased when you find a bible salesman on your doorstep. Not all marketing is equally classy.

                kinda off topic but how much did/do door to door salesman make doing that? how much can you actually pawn off a bible for ? $10? $20+?

                maybe if your bible has golden text, a shiney cover and a leather case you could get $30-$40 for it.

                Often times I wonder why
                There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                When sickness comes I must decide:
                When feelings go, theres suicide.

                  I believe they have spammed my blog a dozen times or so . . . if they only make one spam comment I don't miond, it is when they start doing it to every entry that bothers me

                    Depends on the trade URL. Mostly I don't trade links with commercial sites, because it undercuts my advertising revenue too much, and because it's rare to find anybody who is willing and able to return traffic and page rank that compares with what my better blogs have to offer. Also, I try to keep my links very tightly focused to the subject of my blogs. Which is why, for instance, I fly a bondage.com affiliate banner on Bondage Blog but not on Spanking Blog.

                    All my blogs have contact emails (or follow first link in .sig) -- I'm always willing to consider trades, if they make business sense.

                      That won't happen to me -- if I get a second spam from them, I'll set WordPress to silently delete their spams as fast as they can post 'em.

                                np They are new, and will grow but I understand if you don't want to trade.

                                    gawd you are a moron.

                                    How is he disrespecting bondage.com? Looks like gateway is trying to sneak in a link and he got busted.

                                    Forkbeared knows what he is doing in the blog game and doesn't have to trade with newbie blogs that offers no relevant content or benefit to his business.

                                    Business 101 moron.

                                      People in this business who know what their doing discuss their differences behind closed doors first, then if the situation becomes elevated it may become necc. to take it public.

                                      And as far as knowing what he's doing, he made the comment "i'll just use so & so & stop these spammers in their tracks!" no comment

                                        LOL, there's an idiot here all right, but it ain't me.

                                        I didn't disrespect bondage.com at all -- I just laughed at 'em a little. I have enormous respect for their operation, which is why the blog spamming hit my funny bone so hard. It was like seeing a banker on a street corner in a chicken suit.

                                        And with 4pics, that was honesty, not disrespect. He offered trades that didn't make business sense for me, after I told him that I was only looking for ones that did, so I explained why his didn't. He doesn't seem to have taken offense, which is good considering none was intended.

                                        I'll take my chances with the gaping gay ass pics -- I've got good software and great managed hosting with good tech guys, so I'm not exactly trembling in my boots.

                                            I don't have any "differences" with the bondage.com folks. They did something funny and a little bit underhanded, so I'm laughing at them a little in public. They're good guys, I fully expect them to see the humor in the situation too.

                                              look, i'm not on here to bust anyones balls.....i'm just trying to lay it out for the noobs reading this post how "to & not to" handle things

                                              if we all posted programs spamming us, their be no other posts

                                              is it funny? yea it is, it would have been funnier to hit the owner up on icq & tell him about it...i mean you shook his hand right, why not pick the card outta the wallet & have a good phone laugh?

                                                          Very spammy. Not a classy marketing technique. Likely to backfire on you. Might fly on message boards, but not acceptable in the blog world.

I have bought a paid link on his site and all i can say is its nice traffic, he has top spots on google, and anyone who knows what kind of traffic he has benefits from it.

This update goes out to whichever of you spam-defending gentlemen it was who (in the 24 hours after I started this thread) made eleven efforts to call me a "gutless loser" and a "rude chickenshit" (among other charming epithets) in my blog comments.

                                                                Please note that none of the efforts was successful.

                                                                                  {snipped}
