Before making my first blog post in a long time, I noticed that my Akismet spam filter for WordPress had rounded up a few hundred of the usual suspects. I hate to just delete them without review since I’ve had a few false positives. After a few page downs I noticed something. They all have visual markers. I was able to scan the rest of the list in a few seconds.

I hate to give the blog spam industry any useful advice, but if they had one iota of creativity their chances of getting backlinks would improve immeasurably.
