   What Kind Of Spam Is This?

   I was just looking at this article, and noticed a common theme in all   
   the comments: highly complimentary, even effusively so, yet   
   essentially substance-free:   
   .   
      
   I assume this is some kind of spam? Would there likely have been some   
   accompanying email address or other link, that the spammers were   
   expecting would show in their comment? Only it didn’t -- apart from   
   the one commenter who used a domain name as their commenter name ...   
      
   Ah, I think they are expecting you to do searches on their name ...
