Why dumb people shouldn’t be incharge of marketing your services.
Deepanjali is either the most penetratingly intelligent person ever on earth, or the dumbest. Because this is my blog and I get to air any opinion I want, and because I am in the mood to be caustic, I will go with the latter opinion. Deepanjali is supremely dumb. And she is (apparently) in-charge of promoting the blog aggregator thingummy called Blog Adda.
How? She leaves the following comment on my previous post:
Good post for discussion.Really very gud insight on spirtuality, I came across some good blogs on blogadda.com. Check out this link www.blogadda.com. Bye…..Take care
Read it well? Spir(i)tuality? Just in case you, like Deepanjali, didn’t read the previous post, it is a YouTube video of Rowan Atkinson and Hugh Laurie parodying William Shakespeare.
Deepanjali, besides being penetratingly and perceptively intelligent, is also persevering. She leaves not one, but 4 comments. All as as relevant as the one I’ve block-quote-d. Just in case I might think of her as a quitter, she hunts out my (now in disuse) travel blog NH45, and leaves the same comment there.
It must be extremely difficult to be this original and diligent. Which is why, I think, she makes big money. Why, she might even top our old friend Karthik Kannan at this game.

I get these kinds too. What annoys me is not the spamming so much as the spelling.
What crime did “O” commit to be left out of good?

Hi Chandra,
Being an SEO (Search Engine Optimizer) I know what she is really up to. She, being an SEO, is trying to get back links for her website so that her search engine rankings improve.
Believe me, there are whole departments devoted to building back links that are at this moment visiting blogs such as yours and leaving stupid comments like the one above.
Don’t like it? Delete it, with it goes their back link, no gain for their pain. Simple!

@John: Yeah. I know what they do. I was going to delete the comments, but the spirituality thing was funny. So let it stay.

Ive marked all of blogadda’s comments as spam, so that Akismet moves it to the list that contains, among other things, 15,000 references to Jessica Alba and other parts of her anatomy and German shipping companies offering me jobs to mediate goods-transfers from Shanghai to Berlin.
I wonder if I should get nasty and submit known spam blogs to their directory?

They also have a fictitious profile on orkut – hot babe trying to get guys to join. Very sad. This site should be banned or boycotted by all bloggers. BlogAdda should know that the Indian blogging community is not comprised of fools who will take spam lying down, especially when it originates at our own doorstep.
