Fandangos Spam Comment of the Week – Week 17 2023

Well my spam fans a bit of a mixed bag plus the return of a few favourites. Maybe get a cup of tea for the morning readers and something stronger to fortify those reading in the evening.

• Let’s start with EvansWarutere from https://grevans5.wordpress.com who has returned with a comment on An op-shop find with the simple message of – “Owesome” Perhaps I have been harsh and he is really trying but as a budding journalist, it’s a worry for the state of writing in this world. Also this was the exact comment from last time.
  
• Another repeat commenter is Dilranga Perera from dilrangapereradrama.wordpress.com who sent a great comment on my post Still life observations with the longest post address EVER “https://dilrangapereradrama.wordpress.com/2023/04/23/%e0%b6%b8%e0%b7%92%e0%b6%b1%e0%b6%bb%e0%b7%8a%e0%b7%80%e0%b7%8f-%e0%b6%b1%e0%b7%8f%e0%b6%a7%e0%b7%8a%e0%b6%ba-%e0%b6%9a%e0%b6%bd%e0%b7%8f%e0%b7%80-%e0%b6%ad%e0%b7%94%e0%b7%85-%e0%b6%b6/”
  I would like to get interact with him/her with a bit of what I seem to think is a site devoted to Bollywood but have no idea how to read the script and there isn’t a translate button.
  
• A new commenter is Carma Parenteau from Speed%20SEO%20Net who commented on my post handle_orange_margaret olley_house_tweed art gallery_murwillumbah_july 2014 Yes a comment on a photo “Hi there
  If you ever need Negative SEO or a de-rank strategy, you can hire us”
  What is all that about? Well for between $79 – $500 they will – “Do you have competitors that don`t play fair in terms of SEO? Then why should you? Hire us and we`ll do a negative SEO campaign and destroy your competition by building the worse possible backlinks towards their sites and keywords.”
  Ahh look internet arseholes
  
• This is the longest comment from Miriam Wertheim from brnd.li who commented on my About page

• Still with me after that exhaustive analysis so far. Now we have abel acosta who is not from anywhere really, as the address link was google.com, who commented on This Weeks Spam – 10 April with just a link to the google.com home page
  Well I feel like I have been acosta’d
  
• This is where it gets interesting. Last week I wasn’t sure where an AI or person wrote a comment as it seemed a bit sus to me.
  Well Jason Lawrence who hails from pomeranianpuppies.uk turned up again to comment on my post The third largest bird in Australia with
  “Hey there! We absolutely love reading people’s blogs and the inspiring content that creators like you publish. Your unique perspective enriches the engaging online community that we all cherish . Keep writing and inspiring your audience, because your words can make a positive impact on the world. We can’t wait to read what you’ll share next!
  Thanks – pomeranianpoppa”
  I don’t want a Pomeranian puppy to start with, cute as they are. What makes me think that’s it AI? Perhaps it’s the “unique perspective” – it’s a post with photos of Pelicans FFS!! Then there the “your words can make a positive impact on the world” again not many words but the word Pelican was repeated a few times? If they can’t wait to see what I’ll share next, they haven’t returned, not even a like to any of the last posts since.
  
• Now, this is where it gets more interesting.
  A comment from Array (Is this WP speak for anonymous commenters as I have had a few with this “name” recently. Even some from people I follow and they repeat of what they said as Array. This is a comment that you think has disappeared turns up as Array on a post)
  He is from http://www.kuciakodes.co.uk and commented on my post From behind with
  “We adore reading your blog! Your unconventional perspective and authentic voice make a difference in the world. Keep creating, because your ideas matter. Thank you for being you!
  Thanks – TheDogGod”
  OK you may be asking why it is interesting? His website address will take you to the Pomeranian puppies website just as the above does. I have not clicked on any of the cute puppy photos as you never know what’s behind a front page. Although his comment is true 😂😂
