Spammers have been eyeing on blogs to cast their spams. One way is to place the spam url as comment into the individual blog entry. Therefore, if you set to accept all comments without moderation, you will get to see random spams in your blog.
Below is a real example of spam in Blogger, but the blog is set to require moderation for its comments.
These spams usually come with compliments such that blog owners may be fooled. While some spam comments include the intended url directly, others may put the url as hyperlink to disguise it. The picture above shows 3 spam comments in Chinese. At the end of each sentence, there are many DOTs. Every dot is actually hyperlink that leads to a different url each.
What are the use of such spam, or rather, what is the spammer's intention?
If anyone accidentally clicks the hyperlink, it is an additional traffic hit for them. Whereas, the free linking from the spammed blog will somehow helps the spammers to increase their page-rank for all their lousy websites.
Anyway, judging from the spams, the spammers (or spammer) are probably Chinese from China.
