Day 16: CHAIRS FER DEGS

I noticed a comment on fellow one-a-day chap Sean Bell's blog yesterday which didn't quite fit in. It didn't seem like spam, as it didn't appear to be hawking anything - but at the same time it seemed like too clean a response to realistically appear after the article.

Looking into the account further, it was clearly spam. But here's the thing; it was spam that didn't appear to lead to anything. Well, actually it led to this website.

Chairs for dogs. Modern chairs for dogs. But it's still not selling me anything. I've clicked the shit out of everything on the page, and there's nothing to buy. No penis enlarging pills. No African Princes in peril. There's not even any fucking dog furniture to buy, let alone "Modern dog furniture that are eco friendly." I've seen stuff like this before, and I just don't understand the point of it all. There might be a idiot with a Mastercard sat right here. They're missing out. Where's the link? Where's the scam? Some product placement at least, surely?

If anyone has any insight please let me know, because IT'S DOING MY HEAD IN. xx

EDIT: All round genius and general nice chap Jay Sorrels has kindly explained this to me now - essentially by reading this entry you've been playing into the hands of some nefarious bastards fixated on selling you environmentally friendly canine sofas. But let's be honest - it was worth it.

  1. Its a spamblog or splog. Really just a load of nonsense designed to improve search rank - the fact that it autocommented on your mates blog will help its own rank or drive traffic to an affiliate or adserve thingy nearby. Wiki spam blogs for more. They are deliberately and wonderfully useless. Which begs the question, ahem, are you for real?
