Some spam comments are very 'intelligent' in their content and fool even Akismet.

I get a lot of spam comments on my blog that I delete, usually they have a link to some domain related site, here are some examples:

domain name is to first due keyword research. Keyword research is going to identify the keyword phrases your prospects are using to search for your services or products.

domain names and all you have to do is visit the registration area and follow the instructions. The first thing you do is to come with the most unique name for your domain. Take time to really a good reputation and he, customers or potential customers should consider the commercial aspect of the site.

Naturally, I figured it was spam. Just wanted to show the humor of blatantly poor wording to start with.

I guess people want their comments published because the back link is in their name/self being published?

[Acro]

Admit it Gerry, you thought it was an offer for a million bucks for the domain

Looks like their command of the Eenglisch language begins and ends right around the Ural Mountains.

I think the latest Akismet takes a while to tweak its gears.

Well, dang. The latest version 2.5.4 of Akismet disables itself prior to installation and that explains the recent onslaught of spam comments that I received!
