It goes up and down. We had a little break from them. The canoe system is a pretty good working system, so we are lucky.

I notice we show up quickly on google searches.

This is a kayak tip but I find that plunging a paddle deep into the water stops you pretty fast.

Actually, the last month or so has been decidedly slow. This one was sneaky and actually kinda real. Most are robots from China or Europe. They're much worse, because they can post hundreds of links in minutes, and I'm stuck with just 10 fingers.

Robospammers are also easiest to kill on the board. The ones that post in article comments or reader's rides take a little longer to get rid of.

Isn't there a canoe torpedo that seeks out and destroys spammers without having to manually delete them by the hundreds?

What is the point for the person who creates the canoe? This one didn't even leave a link. It doesn't seem to serve any purpose except to agitate the web management folk.

It's just like when those retarded vendors e-mail me with the e-mails stating "please submit paiment to us as soon as posible. your InVoices are pass do."

And then their signature is their name, their position, two or three thousand logos from various energy efficiency agencies, and no reference at ALL to which company they work for!

Great, I'll pay you when you tell me who you are!

The whole point is to create links on pages with high traffic. The magical Googlebot in the sky sees this traffic (even if nobody clicks the link) and figures whatever is on that page is popular and cool, so the link should get higher priority than others using the same words on pages with less traffic. Once you understand what they're doing, it's almost flattering. However, I still dream of exacting violence on them at night.

It's the page content that is popular and cool. The dorks just make it that way.

Thank you, dorks!

That's odd, I dream of helping IT professionals exacting violence on spammers, regardless of the time of day..
