Does comment spam work? Does anyone have any evidence it works? Ever hear of a success story with something like “We were doing nothing, until the comment spam campaigns began.” ? Surely, with the amount of comment spam my old blog site www.jxie.com received, it must be gaining critical mass. That old site gets lousy traffic, no one reads it anymore, but it gets 5-10 pieces of comment spam a day.

The spam is always centered around poker and drugs. Drugs doesn’t surprise me; poker does a little . I know it’s hugely popular, but I didn’t think companies needed to stoop that low. Of course, I don’t know if any real company does comment spam. Does any one know?
