I love reading the spam comments for my blog.  One of my favorite things to do is check how many fine folks may have read posts each day.  The numbers are small and, while it would be lovely to have massive numbers every day instead of once or twice a year, I love simply having even one person reading something each day.  Another favorite part of blogging, for me, are the spam comments.

While more legitimate comments would be cool, the spam ones are so entertaining.  To fully appreciate my appreciation of these comments, remember that I manage a writing center.  These comments could be used for tutor training-they are so poorly written!  Verbs in the wrong place, misplaced modifiers galore, and random article usage.  It is a hoot for someone like me to decipher possible meaning from these computer generated comments.

They try to sound so caring about my blog.  And then they give advice on how to grow the traffic.  The advice may make sense, but the writing is so poor that I can’t bear to read it enough times to find the clarity.

Sometimes I am tempted to write random comments on other blogs, but that is probably poor blogging etiquette.  Creating additional spam comments is most likely frowned upon.
