The 59p Site

My sites have recently been hit by a lot of automated comment spam that is sourced from a registrar called name.com. The spammer is using the ability to hide their identity which shows that they have something to conceal about themselves. I have sent email to the registrar concerned to complain about these actions but have yet to receive a reply as to any action that they will take.

Now I have news for comment spammers that come to any site that I run and it is this:

GO AWAY AND LEAVE THE SITE ALONE

I have several measures that I take against anybody who chooses to ignore this advice.

Firstly I will check the domain registration details to find out who owns the domain that is being spammed onto me in the link. From that information, I then contact the domain registrar concerned in order to alert them that they have a spammer on their hands.

Now spammers tend to hide behind the screen so their real details are not available but they sometimes forget to build their smokescreen. That exposes their phone number so I will call them up and ask them politely to stop using their automated program to spam. It shocks them to realise that I have been able to find their phone number without any difficulty

The primary action is to simply delete the spam comments. They go straight into the trash. A apammer is not going to harm my site by trying to create a backlink from it to some other place that is pure trash. My search engine rankings are important to me and I will not have them harmed by malicious individuals advertising junk websites.

So stay at home spammers and do not bother me. You do not and will not get past my defenses so, to paraphrase Pink Floyd,

Hey spammers, leave my sites alone
