Optimize Your Web

I always check my Askimet Spam on my blog just in case something accidentally get’s marked as spam.  I was checking it a few days ago and ran across a comment that seemed to be pretty decent, the only thing was that the website it was promoting was a spam site full of text-link-ads that obviously is just there for spammers.  This wasn’t what actually made me think twice about it actually being spam.  In the actual text of the coment, there was no links to give it away, but the fact that in the word “I’m” there was a backslash which was probably a mistype in their html code for the spamming of comments.  Anyhow, I learned my lesson and will believe Askimet when I do not know who the commentor is that their filter is probably correct.  Just wanted to give you a little first hand experience with the great work that Askimet does as a spam filter.
