@Hugo: Well, that figures. I suggest you blog your experience so that anyone googling him will be cautioned not to deal with him.

I made a payment to J Painter for a order I placed on his website. Its been two weeks now and I have not heard anything from him. By the looks of how this guy opperates his business, I have just lost over R400.00.

@Richard – It’s bloody annoying isn’t it! Ye, the latter would probably be more fun ;)

@James – You too.. sheesh, seems like we all got blasted in a foul swoop!

I also got nailed with these frikkin spam comments this morning.

Of course, it would be even more hilarious if it was a “nefarious seo spammer” working for BidOrBuy trying to take out the competition ;-)

I got 4 comment spams from the asshole too.

I also looked up his whois info on co.za.

Then I wrote him a personal email describing what’s in store for his future.

I have yet to have a reply, because he is a COWARD and a PUSSY and a dirty rotten low life little SPAMMER.

What I recommend is that all of us affected bloggers should sue his ass and claim R100 per spam comment received. Either that or we could get together to just club his ass.

I think I might find the latter more satisfying.

Agreed! I just hate the fact that it’s made me think twice about subscribing to comments on peoples blogs, which is something I always do!

So irritating. If you want to generate link-love, put in the work:- find RELEVANT blog posts and leave RELEVANT comments.

I get on average about 10 request from Chinese companies wanting me to sell their products on my site. Thats excluding the normal SPAM. I guess the difference is that the majority of that spam is ‘manual’ as individuals search the web for stores, and try sell their wares.

Blog spam is another story all together, and its a common strategy – blogs seem to be the biggest SPAM target, and I now hear google is looking to exclude Blogs from the SERP.

Damn annoying, I hope someone does something about this, because I’m getting really annoyed with this sudden urge by South African companies to start spamming!
