This is a Spambot-Friendly Blog.

A 50’s sci-fi toy robot with a can of Spam body.

It seems that Open Salon has become a virtual vestal feeding ground for Spambots to hawk their wares. Now most of us are sophisticated enough to ignore them. Most OSers just delete them from their comments sections or Flag them. I have flagged many of them, but it is a time-consuming task and it takes me away from reading, commenting and rating serious posts like TinkererTink69’s award-winning blog. It is why I’m welcoming spambots young and old and of all stripes and colors. From now on my blog will be a spambot-friendly blog. 

A very sexy robot wearing nothing but a red shawl is waiting for you. Subscribe now!

The Pow Wahs Dat Bee are too busy to zap these Flagged bots so the annoying little buggers keep coming in droves. One of them has taken permanent residence here like some squatter in a foreclosure-ridden neighborhood. Can you say, “Bendan Bendan”? (However, my tanuki-senses are tingling and I think Bendan is an established blogger who is using a nom de spammer.)

Then I got a brilliant idea! Instead of fighting these spambots I decided to embrace them and make them my friends (favorite). Why?

"Resistance is futile," says Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine on “Star Trek: Voyager” in a shimmering silver cat suit.

I’m an OS bottom-feeder. This means I don’t get many views, comments or ratings. And forget about making the cover or getting an EP. I’ve only gotten two since I’ve been here.

In all fairness, most of my posts are vapid, insipid, tired, tried and refried jokes that I have received by e-mail and tweaked a little. However, even my serious posts don’t get noticed by Ed I. Tor.

I have followed the recommended guidelines to building an audience. I have commented on the Kewl Kids posts (the ones who always make the cover; they don’t even read me, so I gave up on them); I follow a group of bloggers and comment and rate them on a regular basis (lately most of them have chosen to ignore me); I follow new people (some follow me for a short while) or established-OS bloggers (they totally ignore me); I have promoted writers on my post (and they ignore me too).  One blogger I promoted got upset when I sent her a PM encouraging her to read one of my posts. I guess one hand does not always wash the other.

"Come join the Borg Identity," says Seven of Nine as a highly evolved spambot.

I read, comment and rate others when I post and when I don’t post. I try to post on a regular basis; I avoid making multiple posts in one day (or post more than twice a week) so as not to sabotage my own posts. I have blog-whored my stuff through P.M., Reddit, Dugg, Delicious even twitter and still my audience does not increase.

So I’m welcoming all spambots to comment on my posts. Because the more comments I get, the more views I get which means the longer I stay on the Front Cover’s Activity Feed.

If you are a spambot and you like to crawl/trawl Open Salon please comment on my posts and rate them too. ‘Cause I need all the views, comments and ratings I can get.

With that said, please visit my blog, read my posts, comment on them and rate them:

Another very sexy robot wearing a very revealing one-piece bathing suit is waiting for you. "I don't like to be kept waiting. It just doesn't compute," she says with a bionic wink.   

This Great Pitbull was not fed spam during the making of this post.
