Today, Don Lapre, or one of his agents, or somebody representing him, left two spam comments on MaxPower. I’ve never heard of Don Lapre before today, but thats because I don’t watch infomercials. Apparently, Don Lapre is the king of infomercials having made millions from them during the 90’s. I’m not sure why Don would need to spam MaxPower, but he did. I could tell they were spam because A) both comments were exactly the same, and, B) one of the posts he commented on is clearly marked as as spam bait (Spam this please (no, not you)). Here is a sample from the spam harvesting post he commented on: » Read the rest of the entry..

The following is a piece of spam I received today. Due to the anti spam set up I use here at MaxPower, I am sure that this comment was hand written by a real human. It was posted on my social bookmarking page. In it Charles asks some good questions. Here we go:

Hello

I just got an email about an ebook download(for sale) about how to profit from bookmark sites.
But, before i go rushing to link up, I must ask what a website needs to be, before it is seen as a winner. I realise writing an article which is informative and useful before it can get bookmarked.

How about the site itself, should it have certain requirement before being considered?.

I would like a review from you if possible to see if my site might be seen as being good or adequate.

I am in need of some traffic and how to go about doing the right things to achieve it through bookmaker sites. It is difficult to get an idea of how to make it more exciting to visitors in an article.

Your honest opinions will be much apreciated

I hope I am not asking too much
