Sly Blanco, the famous dude who sold his blog for $9500 has been having his new blog beaten, swallowed, shove in the ass, destroyed, bludgeoned, attacked by spambots. Look:

And John has been his loyal reader commentator. 🙂

I am pretty much sure Sly’s really taking his time with the huge chunk of almost $10,000 that he got from his previous blog. So as the spams, taking their sweet time turning his blog to a splog.
Looks like he forgot to install Aksimet.

Hello Melvin!
Damn, I saw his posts, and they all are filled with spams.
It really sucks for him.

Why did he forget to install the aksimet???These spam comments sucks a lot of energy

I forgot to install aksimet one time but at least I didn’t let comments post instantly. He will have a lot of work on his hands cleaning that blog up.

The guy will have to spend quite a time clearing his blog from all that spam
Thats bad for him. I am also being targeted by Spammers. I have already got 700 spams in less than 3 months but askimet stops them. Askimet saves my day.

Good thing that I have already installed Akismet prior to writing some articles on it.

makes me wonder how he sold his blog for that high, no offense… =p
in my case akismet does hand out a lot of false positives which is annoyinh
I think he should stop selling blogs…lol!
Anyway, I cannot see the connection between his sold out blog and the spam on his new blog.

dude the title is just the result of the creativity of my mind. And creativity doesn’t really mean it has connections.. =p
That guy should definitely invest in some kind of spam protection, askimet or non. Askimet seems to give me a bunch of false negatives on my new blog though…which is kind of irritating.
The title is kind of misleading, creative, but it would have been interesting if the amount of money and the amount of spam had actually been related. Otherwise, it doesn’t really make any sense.

I second that Corey. He should definitely invest in spam protection.
Askimet for me takes care most of my spam problems.
Just curious on how did you know that he gets 9500 spam?

Without spam protection blogging is very risk. In my site,
Insurance also, I’m getting a lot of spam comments 🙁
The spam protection is done by the askimet plug in.

That’s what happens if one leaves his blog unattended for a few days (forget months as in Sly’s case). I was away for 12 days and I had so many spam comments off which I removed a few manually.
The worst thing was that, I was marked a spammer by a smart chap and all my comments on other blogs were getting caught by akismet (Probably it’s still not fixed and even this might go to the spam folder)

This just means you need to update whatever possible plugins you may get for your blog. It was an issue of protection and part negligence, in my opinion.

Where’s his Akismet or something???
Louver’s last blog post..Sun Broadband Wireless Beats The Other Networks’ Offers
I receive around 300 – 500 spams every day on Balkhis but Akismet helps a lot.
…and I am a victim of that. Some of my genuine comments never appeared – thanks to some spammer who impersonated me.

Doesn’t like moderating comments for sure. Even appears sort of careless in noticing the same. Even after installing the spam protection plug-in, you always have to then manually approve comments in order to be 100% sure that there are no spamming further in the comments.
I sold my website (not blog) for 9000 USD, and this was great success for me. But people did not got the users database, because I protected my readers from spams. This is very important to keep Confidence in the readers.
