[...] but that doesn’t mean people speak the same English everywhere. Jayvee points out that English is a national language in the Philippines. Yeah, and English is the national language in the US, the UK, and Singapore. [...]

Definitely an SEO strategy (and a bad one at that). I hate it when Filipinos get tagged as 3rd class SEOs.

Grammatically challenged… we can forgive this (but that’s really bad…) but assuming another identity?? now that’s one thing unacceptable.

Using proxies to distribute comments over a variety of IP addresses, bad records/slow-to-update against the IP address, and some other techie things could have caused it.

But Google the IP – http://www.google.com/search?q=58.69.208.247

There are (some, but not many) other spam comments noted as coming from this IP.
I looked into the backlinks for one of these sites and found a whole heap more “Cool blog you have.” comments all over the place.

Looks like this Filipino was having a bad-english-day when he commented Alister’s blog.

I’m with you Jayvee… there is no reason to assume a Filipino doesn’t have a great command of English! I should have been more clear about that, because I wasn’t meaning to insinuate anything.

Cheers,
