I made a sad "spammer" discovery today!.
I figured something out today that is very disappointing.
My daily traffic has been steadily rising a little more each month, and I’ve been keeping an eye on it pretty closely in Google Analytics. On average, I’ve been getting about 150 organic searches per day, which is a lot for me, so I’m very excited about it!
I’m also getting 50 or more spam comments every day, which is why I only look at the number of organic searches. I wanted to only count new users who were reaching me by actually searching my keywords.
BUT, in looking through my “Top pages” today in Google Webmaster Tools, I can see that a lot of the keywords used are clearly spammers! This is how they’re finding me.. They type in their keyword with “+leave a comment” afterward. This way they find relevant blogs who allow comments (and then spam the crap out of them!).
This completely sucks! I just lost a third of my visitors because I assumed that all the organic searches were actual interested readers.
So I guess now I need to deduct the number of spam emails I get from my daily number of organic searchers, and that will be my actual number.
Is this their only tactic? How else do they find us?

This will give a different perspective on building our websites. Thank you for sharing your discovery on this sad part. I suppose this makes you stronger and you will give more thought to setting up of your contents and keywords.
Just a thought on my part as I have not much knowledge in this field yet, so don't mind me. Blessings...

Thanks Shirley. Yeah there's not really much I can do about it. By choosing the saturated "make money online" niche, I guess I asked for it!
Well, now that you know what's what, I'm sure things will go better. I pray every rocks will be removed for you. Every blessing will be yours.....

They have bots that do the dirty work for them
Yeah, I'm sure they're pros by now!
