REPORTING A SPAM BLOGGER PROFILE
I will not take this lying down. I have reported this spam blog profile and you can do it too if someone is posting on your blog using a fake Blogger profile.
I know you can do this no matter where they are posting from but since this was a Blogger profile I’ll go with that one.
To report the spam blogger click on their name to take you to their blogger profile page. You will see nothing there because it is a shell for sending out spam.
Copy the URL, that is the web page address that starts with http://www. and go and paste it on the Google spam reporting page and they will have a go at it. Here is the link for you.
Be vigilant. Report every time. Stand up for our right to not be used for somebody else’s personal gain. Your blog is yours and should not be used without your approval.

JUST AN OBSERVATION
I had recently switched from embedded comments to comments with a pop-up window because I had read that people had trouble commenting on the embedded ones since the reply to comment update came into play.
From the moment I switched I started getting spam comments. I used to get maybe one every 8 months or so and suddenly I was getting 5-8 per day, every day.
I get an email notification for every comment left so I knew they were coming in but luckily the Spam detector worked and they were all caught and not posted. I don’t use word verification and never will (hopefully).
Now yesterday I switched back to the embedded comments and today…..no spam….none. Coincidence? Maybe. Might be too soon to tell. I really want to keep anonymous comments available because lots of my readers are not bloggers and they don’t have any other way of leaving a comment.
I’ll keep you posted. Maybe you can let me know if you can comment and also if you get lots of spam. Do you have embedded comments or pop-ups?

SPAM COMMENTS
IF YOU DON'T HAVE EMAIL NOTIFICATION SET UP FOR THE COMMENTS I SUGGEST YOU SET IT UP BECAUSE THEY GO BACK INTO OLD POSTS TO TRY AN HIDE THEIR CRAP.
