Leaving comments that are short and irrelevant to the conversation is a spammer trick for getting bloggers to approve their comment (which usually has a link attached to a site they want to drive traffic to). However, I got three such comments with no links so I wasn’t sure if they were spam or not at first. However, I solved that pretty fast.
Do a simple
google search for “Dakota Bolkestein” and you’ll see that everywhere there is a commenter with this name, the comment is the same; “Thank you”.
Yesterday, I got two more ambiguous comments so I looked them up too:
It’s clear that these are not comments by real people, but I wonder what the point is if there’s no link associated with them. Either way, I’ve now deleted those comments and will be watching the given article for more of the same.
