Sometimes you write something that brings out the best conversations and you have a great time. Sometimes you write something that brings out every spammer on the planet, meaning there are just some topics you might want to stay away from if you do not want to wade through a pile of spam.

A couple of days ago I wrote about how to get around being banned in Google, since I am looking down the barrel of that shotgun, I really wanted to talk about the things that I am planning on doing, and the things that have been successful. John Chow and his own experience with Google, as well as how I am seriously planning to follow the lead, and the experiences of what John found out, and what he has done.

Unfortunately, that seems to have brought out a large number of spammers, in other words, nearly 150 spam comments for that one article in the last 24 hours.

Not exactly, the kind of link bait I was looking for, so if you start talking about how to survive a Google ban, many people will come out of the woodwork, pat you on the back, but check the links they are coming from. Even if you are looking at being banned by Google, there is still no reason to start allowing things you would not allow normally. If it is a spammer, then they are spammers, even if they are saying that the article was great.

More amusing than not, but this is something to look out for when dealing with comments on your blog, and general support mechanisms for bloggers. Even when you are normally in the search engines indexes, you still do not want to play with fire, spammers, and other “dark sided” things on the internet.
