hello house, i have a football blog where i post football articles from time to time, however what baffles me are the kind of comments i receive on my posts, i mean i get all kinds of comments. and the problem is that my blog is not more than 3 months old and i have less than 10 posts on it. but some will comment like "i was recommended to this site by my cousin and now that i'm here i realise what i've been missing all along" and others will go like "i've missed this site so much" and meanwhile i've nkt seen any comment mentioning on what the post was about which is football. so is it possible these people are actually refering to my blog? or could there be anything like spam comments and if there are, how are they generated and how do i block them from my blog to allow only genuine comments?
thanks

It's most likely spam. To be sure, copy part of the comment, put it in double quotes and Google it. You should see the other sites that has the exact words in comments

Sorri bro.... Those comments are generated my a software used for SEO.....if you notice...the comments have specific names and they link to ssome websites.....

Heres what you can do....

Approve all comments first before they go live.....make sure you approve comments first before they are displayed on ur blog...

Install a comment captcha plugin...those comments were made by cmment bots...so if they can't enter the captcha..their comment won't enter....

Also take note of the IP addresses of those unwanted comments....and block 'em...
