Backtalk Requested: Bot Update

A new family of Zombie Bots has shown up recently. They profess to enjoy my posts so much that they offer to translate them into German and “link back”. Of course, when you try to send an email to the sender it comes right back as undeliverable.

Some Bots are there for the purpose of advertising a blog or website. I used to let some of them post comments, even when they were inane and off the point. Some can fool you once or even twice. But when they keep coming back with the same comment they give themselves away.

If you have a bot story you’ld like to share, please leave a comment. If you know what to do about them, pray tell us all.
