The Best Make Money Online Spam Comment Ever
and now for the years best spam comment…
The Spammer… Kim
The Spam… removed by Griz and removed by Lamach
Here it is…
Hi Griz,
I’m a newcomer to your blog-wow! great info…but a little disheartening. Only a little,though. The fact is my partner and i do make money online, and we have discovered an amazing avenue to get there even faster than we did the old fashioned way – with a lot of research, hard work (implementing what we learned), and time. Okay-here’s the scoop, there is a web building company called (removed by Griz), My partner and I highly encourage people to sign up with (removed by Griz) through our website, (removed by Griz)
If people sign up through us we will offer a nice little discount on our web packages. The reason we love (removed by Griz) is because of their extensive step-by-step (idiot-proof) program which has an amazing built in analytic program (I know they have some kind of arrangement with Wordtracker-among others) so that your page is optimized to Google’s high standards. I have been into Internet marketing for the past 8 years or so, and (removed by Griz) blows any web Building service out of the water. The caveat is some of the tutorials are a little difficult, and the customer support isn’t so hot. But once you get over the hump, it’s smooth sailing-as long as you keep writing. They recommend 250 pages of great content. (removed by Griz) has the same philosophy as we do to making money on the web-provide quality content, with no tricks, and the traffic will time. Patience is required-no doubt about it. But if you follow the steps between (removed by Griz) and us (removed by Griz)-stock market decline or not- you will start to develop a nice little retirement fund in a couple of years. Anyway thanks for the great blog, and for the opportunity to put in my two cents.
To you success, Kim
Now that took a little effort. Well done. Why don’t all the spammers give us a little content like Kim.
Spammers…
Cut and Paste Kim’s comment to save you all time.
Be sure to replace (removed by Griz) with (worthless product/service of the week)
Track down every do-follow blog in existance.
Spam like there is no tomorrow.
Cheers
Griz
(Okay… I had to get a post up just to let G know I’m still alive 
)
Also… there is a new page for finding backlinks in case you haven’t seen it – Link Resources
Oh… there is something else.
My sidebar is whacked – the text box widget doesn’t display the white background box like the other sidebar widgets. (and what’s with the text in the Tags widget?) Terry tells me this is a javascript problem of some sort but he lost me at java… java… rhymes with Lava… hmmm Hawaii… maybe golf this year in hawaii… golf yeah… um what was that Terry?
That is how my mind translates code of any kind…
Here is Terry’s written explanation…
As for your sidebar woes, it seems the problem lies in the javascript somewhere which is not easy for me to decipher. It only seems to affect the “text” widget so I’ll have to delve a little deeper into that one. I don’t mind if anyone else wants to have a look at it – the original theme is called “bluespot” which I lifted from Court’s blog. The problem must lie within the original theme so it should be easy for anyone who is a javascript expert to go in and find what it is from there rather than tinkering with your theme. Once the problem is found and resolved it should be easy to transfer into you blog (and a couple of mine that use a different variation on that theme).
I was pleasantly surprised to see that Terry has not totally succumbed to the dark side of code monkey-ism and this leaves me at the mercy of those of you who have become dark lords of the internet. People that actually know what the hell javascript is – not just what it does.
So there you have it. Just thought I’d ask some of my computer literate friends if they would care to take a stab at this. I will gladly pay for your troubles. cough… RT cough cough… Frank… Elliot… Vic…
Thanks in advance (I hope)
Cheers again
Griz again
Btw… I don’t say this enough but thanks to all of you who have helped me out along the way, big favors or small, it is much appreciated.

Amazing. That’s a spammer who put a lot of work into his comment. Of course he probably posted the same comment to hundreds of blogs. He obviously doesn’t read your blog or he wouldn’t have bothered trying to get that past you.
John,
I really don’t get spammers – so much work for zero results.
Hi Griz,
Just add the following to your theme’s CSS file:-
.textwidget
{
background: url(img/sidebox.gif) no-repeat bottom center;
}
That should fix it.
Nathan,
Looks like you are the man!
I will beg Terry to do whatever you just said.
To me I read CSS… hmmmm like CSI Miami… Florida… hey great golfing… what was that Nathan?
Thanks and if I can give you a hand…
Sorry grizz on a good day I can spell javascript so I’m not much help to you on this one so I thought instead I would add a long rambling comment to add to your word count and because well you are one of the coolest blogs on the internet for anchored backlinks because well like your audience actually brings me some traffic – how weird is that! I thought it was all for google but sometimes, if you do real good you can make google gods and people happy all at the same time isn’t that an unusual side effect which you just don’t see mentioned that often on make money online in recession times blogs. But the best thing is that now with the 2nd blog I can ensure that I don’t end up with two-way links if you see what I mean – because like you haven’t even discussed credit cards here even though they are going to be a hot topic with the economic downturn and people wanting to make a little bit of money on the side.
Lissie P.S did I write enough?
Lissie you kill me.
Hi Griz
I’m a newcomer to your blog-wow! A new wave in spam comments? Good to see that you’re giving Kim the credit that he/she deserves for making SPAM a class act.
Someone on the other blog asked how many backlinks does it take. I know that that is impossible to answer, and you answered “as many as it takes”. To be more precise, are we talking Thousands, tens of Thousands or Hundreds of Thousands?
Ben,
The correct answer would be 2348.5 links to be exact.
or… as many as it takes.
That comment and a couple of programs I know of could really build some links. Someone could almost just put together a blog of awesome spam comments to flatter those getting spammed, not a bad idea… ha.
Josh,
I have thought of compiling all my spam just for content purposes. The “Spammy” given yearly to the best comment spammer.
Kudos to that spammer. Probably copying and pasting in tons of sites. If he /she ever took time to follow your blog, he/she must have realized, it is not worth to wrestle with Grizzly bear. LOL.
Unless your name is Davy Crockett the Bear always wins!
Griz,
It looks to me like you’ve just got a CSS problem, not a javascript problem. Adding:
.textwidget
{
background: #FFFFFF;
}
to your stylesheet should give you the white background, but if you want it to look exactly like the other widgets, (with rouned corners and same fonts) you’ll need to make sure the textwidget class has the same css as sidebar ul.
If you need a better explanation or just want me to fix it for you fill free to email me.
Oops… didn’t see that Nathan had already beat me to it. You’ll probably want to add the font size like this:
.textwidget
{
background: url(img/sidebox.gif) no-repeat bottom center;
font-size: 0.9em;
}
to match that up as well.
Clint,
Thanks so much for the help – I thought it was a dilithium crystal problem somewhere deep in the warp drive. Apparently not.
Thanks for that Griz. I’m working on adding to the phrase dictionary for Blog Content Wizard and that spam should work in great.
Frank,
lol
Who woulda’ thunk we could get so much mileage from spam? Love it.
I see – going for the top rankings for removed by Griz on two different websites now, huh? Man, you’re greedy.
Robert,
Actually you gave me the idea. I was curious about the old “quick index” trick using a rare term like “removed by Griz” – it worked. This post showed up ranked #1 for the term within a few minutes of posting. This tells me that the G bot is dropping by regularly and things are good.
OK I just saw that this was mentioned 3 or 4 times in the comments already. It would be easiest though to add the .textwidget class to this line:
#sidebar form, #sidebar .block, #sidebar ul, #sidebar { .. }
right after #sidebar, with a comma.
That will take care about the text widgets but not about the tags. The tags are not within any div right now. What you could do, Griz, is either tell Terry to add formatting where he calls wp_get_tags() in sidebar.php. Do this:
wp_get_tags(‘format=list’);
That will wrap the tags in a UL with the class of .wp-tag-cloud, which you can in turn add to the line I mention in the CSS file again! Then you would only have to add a line saying that the tags should not be listed under each other (as in a UL, unordered list), but next to each other. So here’s the code for the CSS again:
REPLACE
#sidebar form, #sidebar .block, #sidebar ul, #sidebar, #sidebar .textwidget, #sidebar ul.wp-tag-cloud { ..keep whats in here already.. }
ADD
#sidebar ul.wp-tag-cloud { display:inline; padding:5px; }
Phew.
Send me a mail if you’re confused. I know I am
Good post otherwise Griz. Keep em coming.
Okay Bob… now that is just showing off!
Thank you so much. So you mean to say that I have spent hours cursing and kicking my laptop trying to figure this crap out and all I f(removed by LaMach) had to do was put a post up here?
I am such a f(removed by LaMach) loser! sheesh.
I hope you drop in regularly Bob – what’s your hourly rate btw?
If I can ever help you out…
LOL yes, putting a post up like you did is always a good idea. See how many people want to help you! You write make money online posts and give so much, you gotta give the people a chance to help you back
Seriously, I’ve been lurking on both your blogs for some months now. I’m in design, and SEO was not my field until I came across a crappy Blogger blog that somehow was so charming that I couldn’t resist. You really helped broaden my skillset, enabling me to be able to add this and that to what I do. And I have also already seen great results on my own sites.
So you see, I will definitely stick around
Oh, my rates depend on the project. I’m quick at web development, so I mostly end up setting a fixed price, for example: right now, it’s $75 for a custom WordPress theme with the basic functionality.
But for you Griz, that’s a whole other story
Bob,
Charming… well gosh (insert blushing smiley guy)
Lol.
Thanks for that Bob and I hope you don’t mind – I just added you to the Friends of Griz page. I’ll be able to find you fast that way!
A pleasure meeting you Bob.
Oh well, if you MUST add me… Whatever.
LOL
Thanks Griz. The pleasure is mine!
LOL, great post. That is a lot more effort than I see from most spammers, but you can still read the form letter part of it. Well, Google still knows you’re around. Seriously, though, thanks for all the great advice from both the money making blogs. I’ll check back in and let you know how I’m doing once things get going.
Shane,
Thanks and nice to see a new face. Welcome.
Thanks everyone for the CSS fix – I just uploaded it and it works a treat.
BTW now I’ve lost all credibility as the rootin’est tootin’est code monkey from the darkest side of cyberhell LMAO!!! Damned if I didn’t see that one staring me in the face!
Bob, thanks for the php fix for the tags, I’ll have to root around for that call to wp_get_tags() as its not in the sidebar (which calls dynamic_sidebar).
PS: A spammer with some intelligence eh? This is a disturbing development LMAO!!!
Terry….
Oops. Sorry about the loss of your “rootin’est tootin’est code monkey” status. Hadn’t thought of that – I was going for the sympathy angle. I shall endeavor to restore your former glory if it’s the last thing I do!
(nice sidebar btw)
Thanks Terry!
Terry,
Take a look at this post at Automattic (makers of WP): http://automattic.com/code/widgets/themes/
You can add a little something to the functions.php to tell WP to automatically wrap every widget in extra markup. Try using this:
‘before_widget’ => ”,
‘after_widget’ => ”,
…with the surrounding code of course.
You might need to check if that doesn’t change the other widgets if you do this, because this applies to every widget.
Send me a mail if you need any help!
Obviously that f(removed by LaMach) spammer from (removed by grizzly) doesn’t realize who their dealing with! Obviously sent out everytime certain keywords are used in an article.
Personal message to(removed by grizzly): Wake up! If you spent the same amount of time just reading one of griz’s articles they would be more effective. But then again, who needs a f(removed by LaMach) spammer like (removed by griz) around!
f(removed by LaMach),
Hahahahaha…
Nicely done!
Now this has got really, really ugly – the spammer i can handle the css calls I find ofensive! Its OK Terry – you are still my hero – just for implementing this LOL
Lissie,
Never mind the CSS – the PHP was way out of line!
Well you would expect that CSS is supposed to line stuff up – I think!
Haha… good one. (I think – no idea what CSS does – reminds me of golf)
Just wait until they all find out I’m really just a spaced out musician masquerading as an organ grinder’s monkey… erm I mean code monkey LMAO!!!
I just got home from a gig, its getting on for 1am and I switched on the damn computer instead of going to bed by mistake… now what does that say about me???
Dedicated?
I was going to say “losing it” but then that would probably send what last shreds of my credibility remain intact down the drain… Dedicated, mmm, not sure what to tho!
BTW, nice layout change! The sidebar widget header graphics are really nice, but they’re either too wide for the box or the top right corner is missing its nice round bit! (I’m a nit-picking sod, which is why it takes me so long to do stuff!)
Okay… I managed to fix the tags as per RT and then got feeling all confident and starting fixing things which weren’t necessarily broke and of course I just had to keep f(removed by Lamach) around until I had sidebar graphics that don’t have the little rounded corners and I don’t have a clue how the hell to do THAT! and… Terry what are you up to today?
Lol.
Griz,
I love the spam comments. i get a ton of them that range from saying just “I disagree with you” or “Great post and thanks for letting me comment” to the comments full of viagra links.
As for java, I’m having a cup right now, not real strong and no sugar or cream. It works perfect for me!
Elliot,
Great to hear from you. Hope all is well and I second your motion, I’m off to get a cup of “REAL” Java right now! You’d think the code monkeys could come up with their own names for things. They may be geniuses but they have no originality!
Grizz, you crack me up! Then right when my laughter subsides, Lamach goes and starts it up all over again! Ha!
It’s great to see I’m not the only one who is clueless about coding and css. All I hear is “coding, blah, blah, blah”. Sorta like what a lot of men say about their wives talking and talking blah blah blah! LMAO!!!
Let’s see, are you going for ranking in removed by grizzly or perhaps make money online or both?
Lin,
Welcome to the home of the technically challenged. I take great pride in my ignorance. While the brains are busy coding I spend my time building “anchored” links – oh wait – that takes code… damn code monkeys are everywhere!
Of course I just have to say… don’t have these problems with Blogger. (what’s the code for the insane looking MR Green smiley?)
for removed by Grizzly:
you are sitting at 8th position on page 1 in my data center. lol.
http://www.google.com/search?q=removed+by+grizzly&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
talk about midas touch.
Great things happen to people with good soul. God bless you.
YOu are #8 in Australia for removed by Grizley – but only because some Yellowstone bears are being relocated – typical yanks outshining the Canucks!
Roger and Lissie,
I’m number 1 in Canada for – removed by Griz but page 2 behind the bears for – removed by Grizzly. Did you just use “Griz” – makes a difference.
As for the Yanks… I refer to all my fisherman by that term but have found the ones living south of the Mason/Dixen line seem to get quite offended by that. Something about a war…
Oh I see you are killing the bears #1 in Australia – but google thought I had mistyped Gritz – no idea who they are lOL
It’s what the Yanks south of the Mason/Dixen eat…
Butt…Butt…BIG BUTT!
If you search for removed by LaMach nothing!
Is that your lesson for the day? Keyword closer to the body tag?
which just goes to show: Google LOVES Grizz – I suspected it all along LOL
Right up until they give me the big SLAP
Hmmm… we will have to work on that one.
Maybe in bold removed by Lamach
Well….woke up this morning and removed by lamach is indexed. The front page is indexed first. You must be slipping! I thought it would only take a couple of minutes! Ha ha! Both pages are listed (double listing).
I am slipping – it’s not even in position 1!
That’s the one! Awesome Lin!
Dang it, the coding almost went through. That yellow smiley was supposed to be another : after the word mr green
Whew…almost had to kick the laptop there for a sec…
I’ll say…..
removed by griz shows up because it is on your index page….
since removed by lamach is in the comments, doesn’t show up on your index page!
Article was indexed 18 hours ago!
Lamach,
It is now. Let’s see what happens.
Lamach – your link is wrong – drop the “e” from tumblr.
I purposely put that there to see if your virtual address correction software was properly installed. It is working!
Virtual address correction software… hmmm virtual… hmmm like virtual golf simulators… swing corrections… hmmm… I should get one of those big screen indoor golf simulators. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Man who knew all you code folk were so into golf?
wow. yes, you are on #1 for : removed by Griz in my data center also. I will address you as Griz from now on. LOL.

Hi, Griz…Please interpret this as groveling for a little help. After following your “Beginners” blog, I built a blog entitled Golf Talking and started writing and posting articles there, on Ezine Articles, Go Articles, etc. After about five months, lo and behold my blog started showing up on G searches for “Golf Talking”. You can imagine how excited I was to turn up in the #1 position a few times ahead of 16 million competitors, and on the first page quite often. Here’s the bummer: No increase in the number of visitors to the blog. Only 2 to 10 per day.
A keyword search on Google’s keword tool showed me why – only 4300 seaches on average for “Golf Talking”. So, I changed the blog title to “Golf Talk”, which showed a much higher keyword average search count. Now, my blog is showing up on page 2 of a G search for “Golf Talk”…still NO visitors. What could I be missing?
Don,
Two things – the keyword search estimates are notoriously inaccurate and chances are there aren’t as many searches as you think.
- A keyword with low search volume (and sometimes high) will not provide much traffic for a 2nd page serp ranking. A general assumption is that about 75% of real searchers will click the top ranked site and most of the remaining traffic will not click past the 3rd ranked site. I have seen huge jumps in traffic from position 4 to 3 and this increases dramatically as you climb into 1st spot.
Unfortunately you will have to crash the top spots before you start seeing any real numbers – assuming the search traffic is there.
Thanks, Griz. I’ll keep plugging away, and will let you know when successful.
LMAO! how and where on earth did you get such a good quality spammer? Give me more of these and I’ll happily approve them, if anything, just for their effort.
BTW, do you approve of my new spamming way? LOL.
Costa,
You might want to ditch the keyword link as I found you in the Akismet dungeon. Apparently someone has flagged you as spam. That is the problem with comment links – people tend to get a twitchy spam finger over it and don’t even read the comment – legit or not.
This is not funny! I’ve spent a lot of time compiling this message about this INCREDIBLE business opportunity and all you do is make fun of it! I will NEVER share (removed by Griz) with you or any of your readers again! You don’t even deserve my attention! I would have been glad to offer (removed by Griz) to your readers at a discount for the first week but now I WON’T. I HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY!
Now you and all your readers will be poor forever! Ha! And are you the same guy that owns a “make money” BLOGGER BLOG? Ha! What a JOKE! You can’t make any money with ADSENSE OR BLOGGER! Adsense doesn’t work anymore and Blogger is ugly! Boy, you need my (removed by Griz) more than anyone!
Later losers!
(just having fun Griz, please don’t ‘askimet’ me or whatever they call it)
Thanks Kim for all the traffic. Server crashed for a couple of days, but that’s a good thing right? By the way, I noticed no visitors are clicking on any of our adsense ads. Do you think we should change the wording? Also, is there any way to increase how much we make on each ad? We are getting all kinds of traffic, and just .01 each click. Please look into changing the wording. I’m sure thats the problem. Keep up the good work! How about doubling the production nest week? …..and I am looking into that threat against your family!
Have a good day!
Kim,
I was that close to the spam trigger… lol.
Nice one.
Kim’s Boss,
Ha. You folks must be having a slow day…
I think what you should do Griz is collect all these great comments and make an ebook to sell for $7 a shot! Best Guaranteed Money Making Blog Comments, an ebook all MMO wanna-be entrepreneurs have to have!!!
Honest folks, I bought this ebook from Griz and now I make $25000 per month!
- Coaster (Paul)
Paul,
I’ve said this before – one day I am going to scam the whole works of you with the “Greatest eBook Ever” and retire to another island in the tropics…
As soon as I figure out what scam… watch out!
Amazing info…
Grizz,
If I knew you would profit from it I would send some cash your way. You could put a disclaimer.. This is all my free crap wrapped into an ebook.. Get it in pdf format for $37.97
I have paid much more tech classes and waled away with less than what you have given for fee
What… JUST $37.97 ?????…
I’m not from the dark side, but I can tell you the simple way with the text widget. Put this at the top:
<div style="color:#000;">
and this at the bottom:
</div>
As for the tags, don’t use the built-in one. Make sure you have the Exec-PHP http://bluesome.net/data/2005/08/exec-php.zip plugin installed, use a text widget and put this in it:
<div style=”color:#000;”>
<?php wp_tag_cloud(‘smallest=8&largest=22′); ?>
</div>
You can change the 22 to make sure that “Make Money Online” fits in the box properly. I think 16 would do the trick, but it depends on the CSS and you’ll just have to test it.
Oh, and it’s not a JavaScript problem. It’s the CSS. The older the theme is, the more likely the CSS won’t cover every type of widget.
Oh, make sure you use real single and double quotes, not the pretty WordPress kind.
RT,
I have no idea what I just did but it seems to have worked. I didn’t even get to the swearing stage – something must be wrong cuz I always start swearing at this stuff! Lol.
Thanks RT.
I got your email – will be in touch.
Haha yeah that is a pretty good spam comment. At least she gave you some content as you said. Much better than the one-liners most spammers use.
As for your code… I’m glad you have other friends to help you out with that because if it’s anything other than basic (and I mean very basic) HTML then any 3 year old knows more about it than I do!
hey, Grizz,
Long time reader, but never posted anything (I did send an email, but I’m sure it was lost in the flood that you get daily).
I don’t really have a question, I just wanted to say thanks for all this good information, and hopefully I’m doing things right to get my little network together. I haven’t seen a dime yet, but I know now that it’s because I targeted a bunch of lousy keywords, and didn’t do enough backlink work.
I did manage to get pretty high in some more obscure keywords for some personal reasons, and that made me happy. I am now trying my hand at gettin’ some CASH – lol.
Thanks again,
eddiebingo
I like the way they say, “thanks for the great blog, and for the opportunity to put in my two cents” when it’s like $20 worth of effort to create this text and embed all the links.
They also messed up in that your blog is a no-follow blog Griz.
LMAO Griz – that has to be the best spam comment I’ve seen so far. I wonder how many spammers will copy and paste it, as you suggested?
Great Post, Ive liked every post Ive read on your site so far, just signed up to your RSS feed
very funny giz. some times I received this kind of spam
as well. But Kim was doing good. cheers
Taking your suggestion!
Hi Griz,
I’m a newcomer to your blog-wow! great info…but a little disheartening. Only a little,though. The fact is my partner and i do make money online, and we have discovered an amazing avenue to get there even faster than we did the old fashioned way – with a lot of research, hard work (implementing what we learned), and time.

To you success, Kim
ha funny post mr griz!
That’s hilarious, I’m disheartened too. Mainly because I haven’t found a way to generate any profit online yet. Adsense isn’t working for me. I’m trying the whole ‘link-love’ thing, which is why i’m here spending more time reading other peoples blogs and placing comments. I’m really at a loss though. I believe I have a fairly interesting niche. My blog follows the adventures of me. I’m a young entrepreneur developing a website called bizential.com. My blog BrockPredovich.com follows me in my adventure, hardships, mistakes, lessons learned and triumphs in bringing bizential.com to market. Kinda of like an american idol of business I guess. So anyway this is my clever way of spamming but I’d really appreciate it if you Griz, or anyone else can come to my site and let me know what i’m doing wrong and how I can make my blog better (aka profitable). here it is http://www.brockpredovich.com
Great Information Man! Thanks
I was completely lost, but still amused. Thanks for all the comments.
