Spam getting out of control on Blogger
Has anyone noticed the spam is getting out of control on Blogger?

I have a bunch of Google Alerts set up for my company's products. Look at what I got this morning (everything looks legitimate until the last line):

********************

Phosphatidylserine-Endurance Enhancer
By glrfpe(glrfpe)
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a naturally occuring compound found in many foods such as...
Lesbian Strap On - http://lesbian-strap-onhugujc.blogspot.com/

********************

Oh, and by the way, when I follow the links, there are often Adsense ads for singles & dating, sexual performance, credit reports, etc.

Roughly 2 out of 3 new blog alerts for my products are illegitimate like this one. I thought Google to a strong stance against porn? To say nothing of purportedly being anti-spam. Does anyone know what's going on here?

Thanks
PB

I get those kinds of spam in my comments. I usually just delete them.

coeli is right,, it is usually seen on comments.. just change your settings to verify first before posted so that it'll not display without your permission...

Yup, that's one way of stopping them from infesting your blog. As what toinkzzz mentioned, enable comment verification.

You don't have to disable the comments. Just moderate the comments..set it to "for approval" so that you can just delete the spam..

I dont think that's the solution to the problem.. Its very simple, like what coeli said just moderate your blog comment for approval before posting it.. and if you suspect that as spammer then its easy for you to put those stuff into junk..
