I Guess a Little Flattery Is Supposed to Help

I was aware that Google Blogger has an automatic spam dump for questionable comments, but I finally went and took a look at it. It's amazing what some people will do to get a mention of their product's website into a blog. These are posts that I never see, since they go automatically into the spam dump before I even get a chance to "yea" or "nay" them.

I don't know what kind of algorithms are being used here, but they seem pretty effective. Here are a few examples of some people earnestly striving to hit the "big time" by getting a mention in this blog (which, as you know, has literally dozens of readers):

Fi?st off I would like to say su?erb blog! I had a quic? quest?on in which I'd l?ke to ask iif yyou do not mind. I was interested too know h?w you c?nter yourself and clear youyr head before writing. I've had a tough tije clearin? my thoughts in gettin? my ideas o?t. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 t? 15 minutes tend to ?e wasted ?ust trying tto fig?re out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Appreciate it! Alsso visit my site [redacted]

These are just the first four. There are lots more, over 100 of them, all pretty much in this vein. Oh, and the question marks? They represent non-standard characters, mostly Russian from the looks of them, that don't transfer over in the cut-and-paste process. Other misspellings, etc., are in the original.

I know I might be missing some legitimate posts with this process, but I guess I can learn to live with that. But if you ever post a comment that doesn't show up -- I approve pretty much everything I get, even things that are critical of me (especially the ones that are personal attacks on me) -- this is probably the reason.
