Photography Spam
Wolf | January 27th, 2011 - 08:55Whilst I was glancing through the blog comments that were caught in my spam filter before deleting them permanently, I came across two comments that caught my eye.
One was from “nj wedding photographer” and read
While we are in the area of Photography and Realism, Finding the right photographer and having a particular picture-taking plan will assist you enjoy your special day. With the right wedding photographer, you will be able to enjoy the moments for numerous years in shots that capture the excitement, love, and sentimentality of your wedding.
The other came from “new jersey photographer”:
Being that we already seem to be sharing factors regarding Photography and Realism, Even if you’re only looking for a couple of easy portraits to document your special day, you’re going to need to find a photographer and book them well in advance.
Links from both posts point to the jdkimages.com website. The comments were sent from these e-mail addresses: Kuczkowski1194@gmail.com and Dreyer665@gmail.com.
We are all used to spam from con artists, trying to sell anything from T-shirt printing to assorted creams that make you more of a man. JDK Images is however, it seems, a legitimate business. All the more annoying when colleagues in your own industry feel justified to use these tactics.
Ryan,
I would not even have bothered to blog about it (what’s the point?) if at least the comment had made sense.
When you talk about leaving good comments, you are missing the point. What counts is that a comment is genuine, written by someone, who has actually read the original blog post and has something topical to contribute.

This blog post is very upsetting to me because I’m responsible, not JDK Images. They are my client. I provide SEO services and blog commenting is one technique that I use.
I recently hired a new company to help me and they clearly didn’t follow my instructions to leave GOOD comments, and only ONE comment per blog.
I’m sorry you received these comments. I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again.
