I don’t know about you, but I’ve got horny spammers.
Seriously, I’m dying to know…are you being offered free sex and “sex dates” on a weekly basis? Because if they’re not spreading all this “love” around, I’m gonna feel kind of cheap.
I talked to my hubby about it last night. (He usually asks me what I have planned for y’all.)
Him: What’s on deck this week on the blog?
Me: Well, tomorrow I’m letting my posse know that all my spammers are offering me free sex dates.
Him: At least they’re not trying to enlarge your penis.
Me: Oh, trust me…they want to enlarge my penis too.
Him: I don’t want to know.
And really…he doesn’t want to know. Check out this sampling:
p.s. I blocked those addresses out so you didn’t have to scrub your eyeballs too.
Are you kidding me, Spammers? I mean, intimidating gay porn? Really? Like regular porn isn’t intimidating enough? And you’ll notice the gay porn people threw “faith-based wellbeing” into the mix. (These spammers need Jesus. I’m just saying…)
On a side note, I’ve been playing in my search terms again. (I had to give the spam folder a rest…they wore me out with all that sex.) The Search terms are always good for a blog post or two — I highly recommend you give them a browse the next time you’re stuck.
Why would you want to play here?
- Leanne Shirtliffe and Clay Morgan were inspired to invent Search Bombing from these.
- Chuck Wendig plays Search Term Bingo here. (hilarious foul language alert)
- I’ve referred to it in the past as My Forum of Bloggy Frivolity.
I promise you’ll be entertained. People search out the oddest things.
No less than five people have found More Cowbell this month by searching for “white cotton granny panty wedgie.” That’s fascinating stuff. Another five found their way here searching for “table dancing.” Dang.
To be fair, I think they heard about the Amish Erotics back-up dancer auditions. (They’re BYOB: bring your own boa.)
Tip to WordPress bloggers: To find your search referrers, go to your site stats and look for Search Engine Results. You’ll see a bunch of search terms. Go peek and come back and tell me what yours are!
So, are spammy people offering you free sex dates too? What are the funniest search term referrers at your place? Enquiring minds always want to know these things here at More Cowbell!
Happy Monday, y’all…

I love all of your posts! Yes, I get offers all day long. I’m offered to enlarge parts I don’t have, join sex clubs, meet up w/ strangers to do things of an unmentionable nature, having lusty phone calls, all while trying some NEW fabulous product! LOL, the spam box should be like a running sentence- just to make you laugh! ;0)

Jenny, your post inspired me to take a look at my search terms. Validation that I have the knack for tagging posts appropriately, but there were some dillies.
Surfers found my site by searching ‘sexy grandmothers’ (to which I say, ‘Who, me?’), ‘overcoming fear of wearing pantyhose’, ‘hot Russian babes’ (*blush*), and my favourite search term, ‘bionic Sherry’.

LOL, Jenny, not surprised by the Christian panties wedgie, but what fun! My spam is pretty typical – sex, drugs, SEO, and gibberish I don’t understand.
Weirdest search terms over the past quarter: rocky the flying squirrel, bacon buffet, and barfing pumpkin picture. But finding the following leads me to suspect that I’ve been search-bombed (THREE people found my site with this, apparently): “i am lefty i use my left hand to write to eat with right hand but clean my bum with right hand is it right doing so?”
This is why only you, Jenny, can get me to look through my search terms!

Way back in December I had a rash of spammers. They were wild! Some offered free sex, some wanted me to buy silver or gold, then offered me free sex. I could enlarge just about any part of my body if I so choose, too. It was crazy. In one day I had over 1500 hits to my page ~ they must’ve all been spammers because I was clearing my spam folder over and over and over again. Not fun. And now my stats are totally whacked from that one day. Stupid spammers.
I love the search terms, too. People find us in the most unusual ways. Creative Googling… love it!

My spammers all seem to be lonely Russian women. They must think I’m ordering all that Cialis and Viagra in the other spam messages. My search terms were a little…well, odd.

Well crap. I NEVER get offers for sex from my spammers. However, at the moment I do have two for Imitrex. I had to Google it because I didn’t have a clue what it was for. It’s for migraines. Guess I should order some in case the sex offers start rolling in. Then in case I have do a headache, I can just swallow a pill and be ready for just about anything they care to offer. The other spam comment is for Retin-A. Guess I should order some of that, too, so I can be acne free for all of my spammy lovers.
If the offers ever start rolling in… I don’t know how to make the face that cries, so just pretend I did. 😦
