Working Up

It is SEO backwards: words that draw spam comments like a magnet.

I don’t receive many comments on my blog posts. I receive many more spam comments than real comments—about 100 to 1.

One post I wrote in 2009 draws more spam comments than all the other posts combined. It is titled Adapting and Adaptability. There is something magical or cursed about that title that draws the automatic spam comment generators. If anyone knows the reason, please tell me.
