Good Example of Bad Comment Spam for SEO

Here’s a comment someone just tried to leave on our blog:

A new comment from "seo specialist" was received on the post "Search
Engine Friendliness vs. Search Engine Optimization" of the weblog
"flyte blog: web marketing strategies for small business".

I am a seo specialist of firm. And interested in information on this
topic.
Very it is sorry that more frequent than all it appears not
high-quality. But it does not behave to this information.
I am glad each time when find useful material for me.
Thank you.

Commenter name: seo specialist

Wow. There’s so much wrong here it hurts my head.

  • There’s no search engine benefit to the URL listed because almost every blogging platform includes a nofollow tag on commenter’s URLs.
  • They list their name as "seo specialist." That inspires confidence…I mean, if their parents named them seo specialist it’s almost like they knew something important was going to come of it.
  • The grammar is so bad that I can’t imagine anyone actually hiring this person to write their copy for search engines.

So what’s the benefit?

Update: They just resubmitted the comment to the same post again, verbatim. I guess what they lack in quality they make up for in quantity.

    I get similar messages from my comment form. I usually wait a few days. If I get the same exact message, I delete both. If not, I might check out what they have to offer.

    As the author of several blogs I do get this a lot. I'm sure, as the SEO specialist, you are aware of this rumor going around that even with nofollow and noindex and all other attributes attached these links are still holding some value and if you get a really large number of them (which is what they're trying to do) they would still benefit. For cheap-ass SEO and with the use of autocommenting software – this method is just as good as anything else.

    Just my 2 cents…

    I agree to Vlad. That is.

    One question Vlad: Some SEO Companies are having their own forum points, where there, they may spam. For instance, they over-write the words again and again on which they were suppose to bring site up in the serps. Will it be a spam as well when they are only doing this on their specific links?

    SEO is unlikely ever to be an exact science since the techniques used to promote web pages are constantly evolving as the search engines refine their algorithms to deliver more accurate results whilst combating spam. The efforts of marketers to understand search engine algorithm secrets has resulted in something of a cat and mouse game between SEOs and engine developers as they seek to exploit loopholes in the algorithms.
