I suspect their "quality" comments are like the ones I junk daily on the work-related blogs I administer. You get them, too, I imagine: The ones that offer such penetrating insights as "This is a very good post. Exactly what I expected to see." Attached to a URL hawking the usual spammer junk.

I'll give them this much: They are, in fact, written in English.

Now I'm imagining something involving a hopped-up version of Eliza. Scan for keywords in the comment thread, frame them grammatically, put in a link that fits at least one of the keywords, fire off text.

Dang. I know how to do that. I could actually, honestly, do that. With my own hands, I could create a bot that would add comments into a thread that were indistinguishable from the "average" poster. The only part I'd need humans for would be captchas, and "free" porn on another domain name would take care of that.

It's a good thing for the world that I'm not as evil as I look. The Personalized Horoscope Lucky Lotto Number Calendar has got nothing on this.

Posted July 10, 2007 2:27 PM by Mary Dell

Then there's a type of spam I first saw here on Making Light (likely done elsewhere, but I'm cutting down on blogs*).

Spam where the content is simply plagarized text from upthread in a very long thread.

Clever, because
1. The comment itself looks good, because the spammer doesn't have to write well, they just need to know how to cut and paste well.
2. The URL gets indexed as the commenter's name, so the nofollow is circumvented.

I note an example of this is still up at the Fanfic Force thread.

Another fun trend: Twitter Spam. I've been added at least twice recently (see here and here) by twits who are clearly using the same (presumably commercial) program to generate "hype" for their projects.

I would love to know if any of the folks actually using any of these services (whether Buy Blog Comments, the twits above, or the method that Kathryn describes at #9) actually get any positive value from these services, or if it's just a short-term cash cow for the middlemen like Waraas.

It wasn't that I didn't believe one could work *for* Google online, it was just noticing the difference between "for" and "with". The latter means "one uses google", not "one is employed by them".

Posted July 10, 2007 3:19 PM by joann

What drives me spare is the spamming of very old LJ comment threads; I get them on random chapters of fic, obituaries of famous and family, and word-usage rants, all at least three years old.

I mean: Why? Who's going to read the comment thread of a post I wrote the day Luna Leopold's obituary appeared in the NYT? A thread with fewer than thirty coments (including my replies to comments) the last of which was on the same day I made the original post? Are they testing the waters, to see if I read my comment notifications and delete spam within some reasonable period?

Or are they just that stupid?

Posted July 10, 2007 3:21 PM by JESR

JESR @ 15

I think they're just simply hijacking it for their own purposes - those legitimate-looking sites that phishers lure people to are frequently set up on disused websites where they think they're safe.

Posted July 10, 2007 3:36 PM by P J Evans

JESR #15: They're not stupid (as they're likely automated to begin with, so there's no "brain" involved). Rather, they're hoping to tag along with a search term that led to your LJ. So someone who searches for Luna Leopold (or more likely something else in the post) will come to your page, see the comments, and decide, "gee, as long as I'm here, I guess I really should follow this link and get my penis enlarged."

Much of spam is built around that mysterious "step 2" on the "steal underwear . . . profit" continuum.

I do recommend turning anonymous commenting on your LJ off if you haven't; it's cut down drastically on comment spam for me (that, or the search engines spambots use don't care for my posts).

Posted July 10, 2007 3:37 PM by Adam Lipkin

TNH, PNH, JM and Avram,
and
Adam @13,

I think the method I mention does suck some googlejuice out of sites like ML.

A quick search finds that the top ten hits (out of 39) for "Offshire Saftwore Prudict Tistang" (my misemvowelling) shows BreckRid at #9.

#10 is the post at Making Light. #8 is spam at Ezra Klein.

If instead the search is "Offshire Saftwore Prudict," then BreckRid is #223 of 14,000 hits. Making Light is #233. Being in the 200s shows some juice: Forrester (research company) is there.

I vote causation based correlation.

Posted July 10, 2007 3:40 PM by Kathryn from Sunnyvale

Adam, since I have a couple of RL friends who are blogging-averse, and comment frequently on my journal, turning off anon commenting is cutting off my nose to spite my face in a big way.

But whomever is writing the algorithms that run the spambots is pretty inelegant, not to say cack handed.

Posted July 10, 2007 3:44 PM by JESR

JESR - I have my LJ set up to screen comments from anyone not on my friends list. Anonymous comments can still be posted, they're just not visible to anyone except the poster (and me) until I unscreen them. Would that work for you?

Posted July 10, 2007 4:11 PM by Lexica

Lexica, that's one of the things I need to do, along with making sub-flist groups for things like S'cubie's only business, and, I hope, eventually, if I can get my cousins moving on it, a locked community for our family (since otherwise we mostly meet up at funerals, and that's getting depressing).

I'm still left wondering who these people think they're talking to, since, so far, there's been no links posted.

Posted July 10, 2007 4:15 PM by JESR

Lexica @20,

When you say "on my friends list," does that mean people that you've friended, or people who've friended you? Or both?

i.e. anyone can come along and say they're your friend, but do they get to read anything before you've looked at the You've Got a New Friend notification?

(my LJ and ljexperience are newborn)

Posted July 10, 2007 4:19 PM by Kathryn from Sunnyvale

Kathryn (#22): people you have friended. Anything that depends on "being on your friends list" means exactly that; your list.

For that matter, if someone friends you that you don't even want to have appear on your friend-of list, you can ban them from your LJ, which will also make them disappear.

More info in this FAQ.

Posted July 10, 2007 4:59 PM by Christopher Davis

JESR: I use screening for anon.

Since, for reasons I can guess, but not prove, I only have two posts which are prone to spamming (and one was being hit within days of writing, the other a few months later, but with depressing regularity), I ignore them.

Then, every so often I go in and clear out the dreck.

That also allows me to prevent flame-wars of anonymous people.

In a thread like this one where the idjit I was talking about (he has dreams of kidnapping child prostitutes from S. Asia, and spiriting them to an island off the southern tip of Chile, where he will train them to be "philosopher kings" and save the world from the men who have ruined it) decided to show up and defend himself from the scurrilous comments I made about the feasibility.

He took more exception to my actual thoughts.

Without the screening, it could have gotten ugly pretty fast; while I was away.

Posted July 10, 2007 5:40 PM by Terry Karney

Kathryn (9), can you expand on that a bit? It sounds interesting, but I don't quite get what you're saying.

Mary Dell (10), he's got an interesting take on the efficacy of nofollow. On the one hand, he's got an entire page devoted to explaining why it doesn't actually matter. On the other hand, there's this bit from his How it Works? page:

TNH @25,

Three comments at the end of Fanfic Force are spam comments like this one.

The comment text looks real because it was real the first time it was posted far upthread.

My analysis @18 suggests that the spammer unfortunately gains a boost from the name link, because Google indexes names and URLs (although perhaps not email addresses. hmmm.*)

-----------
Fluorospherioides, a question:, if you've
1. switched from an email to an URL in your ML comments' Address box.
2. know what your googlejuice was before.

From the comment spam I get it seems like the spammers are using crude searches to decide which blogs to hit. My blog about women in science routinely gets comments touting cheap subscriptions to playboy and lonely 25-year-olds with web cams. Since my other blogs don't get that kind of spam, it seems likely that they are targeting any blogs that mention women, no matter how inappropriate for their product.

This particular racket - selling unworkable, unscalable "systems" - is positively pre-Cambrian (in internet time). Remember when email spam first started becoming a problem, waaaaay back in 1994 or thenabouts? It always seemed that 90% of those early spam emails were advertisements for turnkey email marketing businesses. Make thousands from your home computer in your spare time through the power of spam marketing! Of course, if there was so much demand for email direct marketing, then somebody would be using it to advertise things other than email direct marketing services...

It's the high-tech equivalent of those ads you'd see in the back of maagzines, saying they'll tell you the secret to unlimited wealth if you send $5 to a PO Box. If you do, you get back a grainy photocopy saying "to make lots of money with no effort, just take out an ad in the back of a magazine offering to tell people the secret of wealth for $5..."

Posted July 10, 2007 9:26 PM by P J Evans

One: most blog posts on any given subject aren't very different.

Two: this is even more true for comments.

Three: this is even more true for hostile comments.

Therefore, it is possible to deduce, based on the key words of the original post (which could be identified with some kind of filter, (I hand wave here)) the likely hostile comments it will receive.

These comments often bear only the slightest relationship to the actual post, and so could be pre-written and mass posted to various blogs. They would appear to be trollish, and you would lose some to mods deleting trolls, but quite a lot would survive, as, instead of falling under the `spam' category, they would appear to be sincere disagreements, and thus treated with a certain degree of respect.

Example:

Blogger A posts about the DoJ scandals. The standard wingnut response is ``Clinton did it too.'' This is pretty automatic; all you'd need is to identify the post as about the firings, and ``Clinton did it too'' would fit right in.

It's a half-way house between bespoke spam and generic nonsense.

If you were *very* good, you could match up blog posts as `about the same thing', and swap comments between them, and so get a pool of on-topic remarks without typing a word.

This does rely on the existence of a large mass of midlist blogs, all aproximately following the same things at the same time, and thus having quite a lot of indistinguishable conversations.

It breaks down for Making Light;
``I that in heill wes and gladnes
Am trublit now with great sicknes
My sicklie stait is no surprise:
IM IN UR BASE KILIN UR GUYZ.''* is not a very common topic, and nor is Les Indes Galantes. You'd get caught out no matter what if you didn't have a human (or a Turing Test capable AI, and if you have one of them, why are you wasting your time selling pr0n?) replying. But good enough is good enough.

*Really, just wanted an excuse to read through that thread again.

And the same thing on a retail basis:

Amazon's 'Mechanical Turk' service (named after the ancient scam of the chess playing 'automaton' that really had a human concealed inside) is a brokerage service which allows buyers and sellers of tiny amounts of humans-only work to trade. As a customer of Mechanical Turk I might, for instance take the job of looking at three automatically taken photographs and deciding which one is the clearest picture of 123 Main St. - for a fee of two or three cents.

It's an interesting idea, and every few months I have look to see what work's up there, though at the rates they offer I've never felt tempted to do any. Anyway, preamble over:

I looked at the site a while ago, and one of the 'jobs' offered was "Make a link from your site to my site, along with a favourable comment, and send me the link so I can verify it." for I think around 15 cents.

Amusing, evil, unlikely to change the world in a major way.

JESR @#15: The 'bots don't care how old the post is. My blog gets about 1 real comment a month (I'm an infrequent poster, so I ain't complaining) and the rest are all spam - so I hold everything for moderation. I knew I was asking for it when I started blogging about a medical condition and the various prescriptions I've tried! Drug spam galore.

Aside from that I get lots of "Hi, nice site, some good informations here!" spam. Unfortunately I'm using MT via Yahoo (therefore some weird OEMd version, I think) which doesn't make it easy to lock old threads.

Here's another to chill your blood: crowdsourcing, apparently. To be honest I don't use social media sites much; I find reading material based on following links as they ripple progressively further out from blogs I read anyway. This is pretty much another form of trying to make money by paying desperate humans to spam, and unlikely to be any more successful than the more direct method.

But it's the last line that scared me:

Do you see a particular presidential candidate on the front page more than others? Certainly that is not all our work, but we like to think we played a small part in starting it.

I doubt this guy (naming himself after a pirate from Ayn Rand, how sad can you get?) will actually get rich doing this, certainly none of the idiots who work for him will. But he's still polluting our discourse, and I think he could cause lasting harm before his bubble bursts.

One defense against this is to not have the blogosphere become a complete monoculture. As long as there are an unmanageably large number of moderation strategies and posting rules, it should be difficult for automated or semiautomated blog post spam to scale well.

More fundamentally, blog post spam just works differently. With email spam, I can subscribe to many services that try to block spam, and experiment with the algorithms until I find stuff that gets through the filters; when the spam is noticed, each reader must remove it himself. By contrast, I don't get to do endless experimentation on a targeted blog (as I spam the blog and get through, they're likely to change the rules) and only one person has to notice and kill the blog comment spam.

I expect we're going to see a lot of this in the next few years. This presidential election and the next one are going to teach us a great deal about all the nasty stuff that can be done to disrupt, shut down, spike, or steer online discussions.

I've also noticed in other places in this blog that many of you are interested in getting rid of bushes. I've tried this product [link] and it's worked out well for me. I don't mean to advertise, it's just a really good product I have to tell everyone that want to be rid of unwanted bushes and weeds about it.

abi @ 77... Oh, but I am sorry. Constrictedly contrite, in fact. (And you'll notice I made no bad joke about the pen's might, tempted as I was.)

abi: You tell us to make poetry, and I have seen you dissect spam in verse, so no, I ain't sorry at all.

Doggerel counts. I should have spent more time on it, (have should be want, noise should be something else), but it ain't rocket science, and practice makes better.
