Each week, among the many interesting, insightful, and occasionally scathing comments on my blog, I find comments from businesses and/or spammers clever enough to avoid spam-detection technology.
I delete these comments and ban their IP address, but I know that I will be doing the same thing again tomorrow for a new spamming scumbag.
In response, I write a post each week highlighting businesses that either engage in this spamming behavior on their own or have hired spammers to do it for them. My intent is to shame these vile companies and make them reconsider their advertising methods.
I realize that both goals are unlikely to be achieved, and that even mentioning them in a post boosts their SEO, but doing so makes me feel good, and that is enough.
This week I present Phone Beauties, a company that sells decorative phone cases and spams the comment sections of humble bloggers like me in order to improve their search rank.
I suggest you forgo aesthetics and choose functionality by buying a Mophie instead. The Mophie is a protective case that also serves as a juice pack, letting me carry an extra full charge for days when plugging in is impossible.
I cannot tell you how reassuring it is knowing I have another full charge at hand when needed.
Also, it doesn’t look stupid like the Phone Beauties cases.
