A while back, I wrote about "How I Became a Data Plumber" that talks about the work I do for clients to help audit their existing ad tech and mar tech systems and devise a better data strategy in order to improve their end-to-end reporting and optimization from marketing and sales efforts.
Little did I know that it would lead to one of my posts with the most comments ever. Sadly, all of it was spam =(
We all know the SEO practice of getting backlinks to improve search engine rankings. Blogger outreach is one way to do that. However, those that employ black hat tactics like commenting on articles blindly #FAIL poorly.
I felt compelled to share examples of these pitiful attempts for backlinks. Most appear to be from offshore users who clearly did not read my post closely. I wasn't talking about the normal plumber you hire to fix a leak. But these examples below are from such regular plumber services. I won't give them the satisfaction of getting any visibility from their cheap hacks so I've redacted their names and web links.
Without further ado, here's some good laughs...

At least the above were kinda related and were in the plumbing industry.
These examples are just blatant, gratuitous self-promotion with nothing to do with the topic I wrote about!

This comment was left on my post "The 3 C's of Social Media Marketing Tools" and not even my "How I Became a Data Plumber" post. Go figure.
The same social media marketing tool post also received this comment:
