Comment Spam

For Comment Spam we have a term and definition in Blog.



Comment Spam (Blog)

Comment spam occurs when someone posts off-topic commercial remarks with links in a blog's comment section. Some comment spam is overt but just as often it takes the form of innocuous remarks such as "I agree with your article!" or "Hey, great site!" in a blog's comment section: the spammer's gain is found in the personal details link, which takes you to a dubious (often pornographic) site. One reason comment spam is a major problem is that if readers visit the spammer's link(s), their site often tries to install browser hijackers, tracking cookies or other adware/malware on the duped reader's computer. Most comment spam is automated by spambots rather than actually people.
