   Strange!

   Most probable cause I suppose is a broken spamming tool.

   But a more interesting and still realistic cause would be that MS has bought publicity from an agency that has subcontracted to it to another agency that uses a third agency, and the last one has no qualms about using shady tactics to meet campaign performance goals..

   What is weird is I get them from bing, yahoo and google indistinctively. They found me only yesterday, and already got more comments than visits. How the hell do they manage to do that, commenting without evn visiting?

   Hi,
   I have the same problem (comments from bing, facebook, yahoo…). But think that these stupid guys don’t know what is the “no-follow” attribute.
   They work for nothing !

   I think it’s an attempt to train spam filters that the commenter’s name / email / IP whatever is ok. A lot of people will accept the comment, as it looks harmless, but legitimises the commenter.

   I don’t know, they plagued me for a week, and then vanished, though at the beginning, I innocently let the first 3 or 4 pass through before realizing they were just spam. Though have been spammed a lot since the Bing, Google and Yahoo invasion.
