I'M FLATTERED - the spammers are noticing me! Now you may think I have gone temporarily insane. Maybe I have but I can totally blame that on whatever I inhaled during one of my recent showings.
I admit those spam comments had me upset at first, too. I even felt insulted at times. I put a lot of effort into writing and hopefully creating quality content and then they think my readers/colleagues/clients have such a low IQ that they would actually click on their $2 Nike add or "Wow, my IPad2 is awesome, you should check out this site". Really? Now let me tell YOU Mr. XJTLMT!! *breathe Drea, breathe*
Next I got all uppity and thought I should call them out and ask to see their click-through-statistics! After all, we track our efforts to generate business and build on what works and drop what doesn't. Their statistics have to look something like this: [I may be a bit exaggerating their success here]:
Man, I'm sorry, I know failure is a b!tch, it must suck to be you - and you are trying so hard, too! I feel for ya a little! I do! *go easy on me AR, it may still be the fumes talking*
BUT, I got it all figured out now! As the spammers' focus has shifted to the featured blogs, at least in my case, it is only annoying at first glance. Digging a little deeper I realized that in reality it is my new quality control tool! Yes, you read me right - quality control and I have the numbers to prove it:
I had 1 spam comment on my first couple features, a couple on the next 2 and as of my latest feature I'm up to 5! Woah! 5!! I'm flattered! Seriously! I have only been blogging since June, have been featured 7 times and my count is already up to 5! *feeling very special* You must think very highly of my blog! Surely you wouldn't waste that much time and effort on a blog that you don't see getting a lot of hits now and in the future.
So keep'em coming Mr. JIKLBR! I get it now. I'm sorry I misunderstood you for so long. You don't mean to be annoying, it's just your subtle way of saying Great blog! Well Done! It really is a huge compliment! *can we hug?*
P.S.: I promise I wont forget that I owe you one - I'm getting all those extra points - all because of you!

My dear readers: without doubt you'll meet my new friend Mr. JIKLBR if you haven't already. I kindly ask you to ignore him and skip over his comment - he's not staying for long anyway!
