That's good, seeing as what you post is utter nonsense -- just a bunch of numbers and punctuation. Are you insane or merely retarded?

It's just comment spam.  Plague.

The good news at least is that one didn't leave as many posts in recent stories as he has in the past. Perhaps the controls we're using now are making it a little harder for these jerks to spam our whole site. -- Ed

Why do they bother? Nobody reads irrelevant junk, and certainly nobody follows any links in irrelevant junk.

It's an attempt to boost google rankings.

Won't work -- unless people search for "??????573???" and the like on Google regularly, that is.

It's not the link text, but the link itself that's being googlebombed.

but what's the use of the page having a very high rank for a search query term it's utterly irrelevant to? People will do that search, see that the link is garbage of zero relevance, and move on. And get annoyed at Google.

Google-bombing[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#19)

To add to the previous reply, Google ranks pages in part based on the number of links to that page. If you can create a large number of links to a page from a large number of web forums and blogs, then you can artifically increase that page's Google rank.

See http://www.microcontentnews.com/articles/googlebombs.htm, for example.

Also, many of the Google Bombs we see here are using Chinese and other character sets, and will affect people using localized browsers searching in Chinese.

If Ed's willing to update his software, he can make these attempts to manipulate google inefective. http://www.google.com/googleblog/2005/01/preventing-comment-spam.html
has the instructions.
