It is a cat and mouse game though, and eventually the CMS system creators will nofollow comments and Google may figure out a way to curb that behaviour. (Yes... there are certain sites out there that don't nofollow URLs in comments... though that is a rare breed.) 2- Don't you think that typos are intentional? A lot of affiliate/scam sites have comments with typos in them. This makes the comment more authentic. Oh yeah, I only recently noticed that I have a huge spelling mistake in the graphics on this site... ahahahaha. ;) Well I suppose that I can speak from experience in that there is a way to complispam certain sites for SEO benefit.

Over the past two days out of the blue I've received about 10 submissions, none of them questions, maximum of 2 sentences, and usually accompanied by a typo. I'm more than familiar with comment spam, but I don't see any SEO benefit at all to what they're doing. My best guess is that they are scraping the old fashion way and the footprints they use are accidentally catching my question block. Have you come across this at all? While I hate to think these complements are phony my time in SEO leads me to believe that something is a miss. Heck half of them are coming from foreign email domains. That's pretty much the gist, do you think this is what I think it is (misguided comment spam)? Anyways, thanks for the write up and giving me a place to ask. (not compliment spam lol) I keep a little block on my site called “Ask a question!” where all they have to do is jot up a little question, include their email so I can shoot them back an answer.

The wrinkle creams advertised on all sites, are a rip-off.They have charged my account for $74.95 TWICE. With a 14 day free trial (@$3.95) and 30 days return policy. They have my email address as well - no delivery notification or debit notification, the 30 days are up. I never signed for either package and found out they were delivered to the next door shop. I have called them repeatedly and they say, "Well you should remember that you ordered a package and keep up with the days." I have returned both packages today (unopened) and I am only getting back one $74.95.I guess they need the $74.95 more than I. Happy Monday! 1-Sobelabs – wrinkle cream – need another number besides 1-888-304-4940.

I bought MD Visage antiwrinkle cream. No instant results. I rang for a refund since they offered "free trials" and got abused. I also bought a $260 dead sea cream from London sales in Aus and found the contaioner empty and got the run around for replacing it. I'm still buying skin creams but certainly never again from those two companies! I agree. I bought MD Visage antiwrinkle cream. No instant results.
