Over the past couple of days, I have gotten about 2 dozen responses to my blog from Russians. They say stuff like, “Nice site for you” or “Please read”. Of course, enclosed in their posting is a link to a porn site. The idea is that if I post their responses on my blog, I will also post their link to the porn site.
My blog is set up so that I have to approve every reply to the blog before it gets posted. Initially, I wasn’t sure if I liked the idea of approving every response, but I can see that it really is needed.
The company that hosts my blog provides good statistics on what is happening with my blog including the country where my readers are coming from. I had noticed that I was getting a few hits from Russia and I suspected that they were up to something besides practicing their English. Now I know. I also got some hits from China and suspect that they are up to something similar.
