SPAM comments are really getting out of hand even for Google

I’m not much of a commenter on other blogs or sites but I’m trying to cure myself. That’s why this weekend I’ve tried to get into discussions on blogs and sites I follow daily. One of those is the Adsense blog which posted something about EFT funds transfer, something I’m interested in, but this service is not available for my country, yet. After commenting I’ve chosen the option of subscribing to later comments, this being an easy way to follow up the conversation.

Because the Adsense blog is a blog with many readers and commenters I’ve received a lot of email notifications this weekend. To my surprise today I’ve also received a few SPAM comments. I can’t believe that Google doesn’t moderate every comment or use a reliable service like Akismet. Besides the fact that it’s not professional, it show that the Blogger platform isn’t one of the best choices when it comes to blogging, WordPress being a more suited option.

I'm not the only one observing SPAM comments on the Adsens Blog

I think it’s time for someone to do something about this SPAM issue and Google doesn’t lack the power to do so. But I think they prefer to focus on other money bringing issues and the competition.
