Normally do this on Friday, but, I had nothing. The a beauty hit my mail box and I just had to answer. Here is the spam message, without the link of course.
This is a comment to the webmaster. I came to your “It’s A Birthday Day For The Hobbler Is It Possible To See It All” page via Google but it was hard to find as you were not on the first page of search results. I see you could have more traffic because there are not many comments on your site yet. I have found a website which offers to dramatically increase your rankings and traffic to your site:(link) I managed to get close to 1000 visitors/day using their services, you could also get lot more targeted visitors from search engines than you have now. Their free trial and brought significantly more traffic to my site. Hope this helps 
Take care.
My answer.
Dear Shauer794@gma…..
First allow me to compliment on your stylish use of emoticons. It makes me feel that you are indeed a true budding friend that sincerely worries about my Google ranking. I know it is tough to find me on Google and I can think of a few reasons. First, you would have to be specifically looking for my blog and second, why the heck would you be looking for Hobblers birthday day posts? What in God’s name were you googling. Just curious. At any rate, I feel that it is only fair that I warn you that I have passed on your e-mail to Hobbler. She is one tough lady and I am sure she is going to want to discuss (at length and for hours, if not days) the reasons why this post is not on the first page of Google search results.
My sympathies,
John

There needs to be a team of spammers for spammers.
Hmm, and endless circle of good spammers chasing bad guy spammers. I am sure there could be collateral damage.
I love the Hobbler.
And I was relegated to spam status for a large portion of today.
Just thought I would mention both of those facts, even though, in retrospect, they were not all that interesting.
Dude, I haven’t spent much time on your blog, but I’ve been laughing myself silly at your comments across the blogs I follow all day. Thanks for the laughs, pouring!
I have often seen your comments and been vastly amused by them, Senior Handsome. (I don’t know how to put the ~ over the n, but that is what that means, right?) Thank you. If I get one chuckle a day, it is a worth it.
Kind of should be taking out the i. Senor is much better than senior.
Yeah, I think we’ve pretty well established my juvenile tendencies!
lol times 2
Lol
I should have known that, but I can barely spell in English. If I didn’t have spell checker, you would swear I was a blind monkey with a keyboard.
Duh. The obvious answer escaped me again
And I always give the obvious answer… well, not really,now that I stop to think about it, which is something I rarely do…
I noticed, you two were filling up my inbox all day. Damn that comment box.
It is hard to figure out how to take that…
My bad, didn’t untick the box. Did it to myself.
I did it to myself once. And I am not even 100% sure what we are talking about.
Laughing out loud for real again. I have to spell it out because I fake it all the time. Is that what you’re talking about?
What part of “I don’t know what we are talking about’ did you not get? Why would I lie about how little I know?
Hey! Don’tget pissy with me! I’m just tryingto help.
I have a bladder infection.
Sorry, that was the first defense that leaped into my mind.
🙂 Lol
just once, must not have liked it, whatever we are talking about
I probably wasn’t very good at it… I wouldn’t be at all surprised if I injured myself doing… what ever it was…
I love it…
I dont uncheck the box and I don’t get emails. I turned off all email notifications in my profile a long time ago though
I have that effect sometimes. I think I’m going to start marketing an anti-love spray for those bitten by the Hobbling Love bug. 😉
No stalking me while I am with other people. That is just sick and wrong. Why torture yourself that way?
I stalk whenever and wherever I want, until you get a PO. I get on people’s blogs in the middle of the night and tell them sweet dreams and stuff. True…not creepy at all…it’s sweet…right?
What is a PO? And yes, it is sweet when you do it to someone, but not when you watch someone else do it to someone else… or something.
PO is protective order, and I like to watch too
I’m laughing out loud for real. Wait a sec…what are you trying to say “hours, if not days”? I know it seems like I like to talk, but really, I am a quiet person.
There have been a few nights I have stayed up all night in deep commenting conversations, but everyone has those right? Sure I’ve spent Several hours of the past two nights commenting back and forth with someone I just met, but I am just friendly like that.
Even if I’m not being friendly, I just am joking around, or I just am curious about people…
Whoaaaaaa Hobbler. Poetic license
😉 Not necessarily the shut up kind. Just a wink
Geez John – I know hte spam was bad, but putting her on Hobblers radar?
You’re tough, man!
Somebody had to do something
Thanks El Guapo. I knew I could count on you to defend me against the people who accuse me of talking too much. You know that you both actually love it. Think of how low your stats would be without me.
There’s stats?? Like in baseball?
Maybe she meant “stat” like they say in hospitals…
Stat, like your heart stops without me Guap.
Lol, there are now that you have me commenting on your stuff.
I’ll have to look. I’ll be back in 5
I found the stats. You are 3rd on the list Ms Hobbler. Pretty good for a few weeks eh?
I will be right after you soon. Why do you think Joe made up an award for me? Now he’s on twitter, so I can talk to him that way too.
Geez, go and fold some laundry and all heck breaks loose
You were folding laundry? I knew I liked you. 😉
time sign off. have a gooder
Hi,
Oh yes the joys of spam, don’t you just love what they came out with. 🙂
Not really a love thing, but I do like the post opportunities they present
I think I come to read the comments with a side of blog here now….
I see you were catching up on your reading on the weekend (following the likes), were you off somewhere, or just a bit behind on the blogosphere?
Behind, I get around 200 WordPress emails a day… When I get a good break at work I can nail 50 in an hour, but otherwise 5-10 an hour.
I just can’t unsubscribe from anyone!!!
Same thing sometimes. I can’t unsubscribe either
Tell ya what, meet ya there 16 months after zombie apocalypse…
Maybe 17, have to learn to sail or fly first
John talks a lot right? I get trapped in all his comments. They are like a tornado, sucking me in. Do you think I should ask him to back off on all his commenting?
Hi pot, my name is black
Maybe one of us needs an intervention.
Does it count when everyone has the same problem? If so everyone should head to the bar and intervene…
Well we could meet halfway. I think that would be Fiji
Sounds like fun to me!
Fiji it is! When?
Fiji? Whenever you want…you are paying right?
I’ll buy the first round
Awesome!
You buy the next 20? Then I’ll buy the next 20
Ummm, since we are just talking…sure. In fact, put me down for 25.
Have to outdo the Aussies.
I prefer to outdo everyone, but a girl can only go so far…
Lol. Let me know if I am outdoing you at something and I’ll stop
I will, or I’ll just try harder. Or I’ll make up a horrible rumor about you, so no one cares that you’re beating me…
I got the same spam message. I was beginning to feel like a flunky with a blog when that thing hit me in between the eyes….nice to know I’m not alone in the spam radar…
Its ok, Hobbler will take care of it
I take care of everything. I am like a huge bandaide for the troubles of the world. Except the troubles I cause…
I thought they were the same?
That comment could be trouble
Hobbler made me do it.
See what I did there?
Have fun. Must work now.
You are a master and I am but a grasshopper
Only the exciting ones are mine. The little things like global warming are too easy and boring.
You are indeed
Thanks. But I’m not the gross blood covered part, I’m the sticky part. Painful to rip away from, so don’t even think about throwing me away.
I couldn’t throw you away. My stats would suffer to much
Good. That is my plan…annoy people enough that they become dependent on me for proper functioning.
I too am a huge fan of the stylish use of emoticons. Nothing says “hey, let down your guard stranger and let’s be friends,” quite like a big ol’ digital happy face.
My feeling exactly. He had me at the smiley face.
