Just opened my mail to find notifications of a bunch of slimy XXX URLs commented onto about half my blog entries. Promptly banned the IP (and wiped the comments).
Is there a term for comment-spamming a blog? Does this happen often?
Yikes, I haven't seen that before.
I have, however, began to notice spam and under-the-radar advertising in referrer logs, most recently for the new Snoop Dogg album. :)

I have seen spam on discussion groups and web-based discussions boards, so why not on the comments and the referer logs of blogs? Particularly with all the attention blogs have been getting, I'd say it was just a matter of time before it showed up.
In one discussion site I saw you have to repeat a random number generated by the program, in order to post. I have no idea if this really works, or if it is bypassed by the spam-bots already.

if you don't know what you are talking about don't post online.
I'm sorry I don't buy what you said but it's to cheap.
