I received a comment or two many weeks ago that says something like this: “Please don’t delete spam. The money gained will be used to feed the children in Africa.” Oh, really? Spamming for a good cause? Why don’t they just buy Spam and feed the hungry?

There could be money in spamming because there are people who do it. And the money flowing to the spammers could be larger than we’ve imagined. The other day, this site received almost 30 spam comments, when I normally get around a dozen. Where did they come from? What is their purpose of doing so? If they’re from somewhere, how much are they paid for spamming?  Can we join?  (oops, just kidding on the last one)

Or are they into SEO too? Using the spam links to push their websites up in SERP. This only signal one thing for me: Stop Spam ASAP by installing a plug-in. Now, where’s the plug-in I downloaded?
