This is a blog spam comment that I received and had to share – finally, a true solution to blog comment spam.

hello , my name is Richard and I know you get a lot of spammy comments ,I can help you with this problem . I know a lot of spammers and I will ask them not to post on your site. It will reduce the volume of spam by 30-50% .In return Id like to ask you to put a link to my site on the index page of your site. The link will be small and your visitors will hardly notice it , its just done for higher rankings in search engines. Contact me at (Romanian email address) , i will give you my site url and you will give me yours if you are interested. thank you
