We get at lot of spam comments here at Journalism.co.uk. Some of them are uplifting:

This is really good stuff for me. Must admit that you are one of the coolest bloggers I’ve ever seen.

That kind of comment makes for a great start to the morning.

Some of them are confusing, but still basically positive:

A person essentially help to make seriously articles I would state. This is the first time I frequented your web page and thus far? I surprised with the research you made to create this particular publish amazing. Wonderful job!

We did do a lot of research to make that particular publish amazing, so it’s nice to have it recognised.

Some of them contain constructive criticism:

I have read your article, and I think that it’s a little bit biased. (maybe its just me.) Hmm… Maybe next time try be more objective, I know it’s hard to be good journalist, but it worth it.

That kind of thing reminds us about trying to be good journalists every day.

We are, of course, not the only ones to benefit from such feedback and guidance.

Guardian information architect Martin Belam has written about this kind of spam in the past, which uses these inane comments to try and sneak through links for SEO purposes. Belam posted some of his own favourite spam today with some responses, and its pretty funny.

“Alistair conditioning” is my favourite concealed keyword ever.
