Is spam niche related?
I chose fibromyalgia as my niche when I started this blog because I have fibromyalgia & I wanted to put a humorous but realistic look on things. It was my way of explaining the disease & my life to family & friends & the family & friends of other fibro suffers. It’s not the highest earning niche out there, but it’s important to me.
I’ve been thinking about the spam problems I always have on this blog. This blog gets the most spam out of any of my other blogs or websites even though it doesn’t hold a candle to the traffic that a few of my other sites get. I suspect that it’s because it’s medical related so I get a lot of people pushing various pills. I wonder what an anti spam niche would be. Maybe I should start a blog on how I report spammers to akismet 
Do you find that your spam is related to your niche?

Hmmm… I don’t have that problem… at least not yet. I hope the spam goes away for you soon!
Bummer. Spam is evil. (p.s. I also have a Fibro blog… not sure how I’ve managed to avoid spam except that my blog is totally not heavily trafficked.)

Hi! We’re a new blog in the Fibro Community. Hopefully we won’t run into to spam problem you have, though we did set our blog to catch just about everything. But, I guess we’ll just have to see.
Hope you’re having a well day and it was nice to find you!

I’m 57 and have dealt with fibromyalgia since I was about 39. I retired early from my academic career, and now make jewelry – doing what I love and leaving the stresses of the changing academic scene helped me tremendously (yes, I loved academia when I began). I love the sun, too, and it helps tremendously. But I suggest that you learn to love cats! My two make life bearable and whenever I feel bad, they are right there beside me, staying with me, purring and loving and always nice! They are tranquilizers in fur!
Hugs, Cluny

I guess now the spammer are getting more intelligent to find out what they are talking about. LOL.

I guess spammers figure that if whatever they are pushing is related to the blog topic, or overall site, more people will be enticed to click into it – it makes sense

People who create electronic spam are called spammers. … Messenger service spam has lent itself to spammer use in a particularly circular scheme

Thanks for your valuable information. Its very good, but it would be better if you had given the details of the internet courses which would be of great help.

Just continue to report these spammers, it will have a good result. they will try to comment fairly after that. they will be forced to read your blogs first and understand it.

Spam is not good its a very bad practice to make a website rank higher in search engines and cheat with the bots.
