Straight To Junk Mail….

I get lots of comments on this blog (thank you – they’re so appreciated) and mostly they are on message with themes/looks/products. You don’t ever have to be in agreement with me – plenty aren’t! – and the fact that you take time to comment at all is amazing. But when I get comments like these below, I just wonder, ‘WHAT WERE YOU THINKING????’!

‘Hi girls DONT touch the Cloud Nine we have used them in the salon since Thursday and none of the stylists or customers have wanted to use them a second time.
If you want to see the FUTURE of of styling irons look at the New XXX styling tools.
Every XXX tool comes with new HW2 technology. The result is a powerful, natural phenomenon that actively removes toxins and static from each hair while reducing styling time, retaining moisture and cushioning the hair from direct, damaging heat. XXX tools are also supported with a two-year, no quibble warranty.
XXX Professional irons allow you to achieve an incredible array of gorgeous and glamorous looks due to its flexible temperature control.
Adjust the temperature of your XXX Professional iron, depending on your hair type and the look you desire.’

The commentor also helpfully gave the web address and the Facebook page, which I’ve edited out along with the name of the product. Sorry guys, but did you really think I’d let you promo your product and at the same time trash the competition? Sorry, but if there’s any trashing or treasuring to be done, I’ll be doing it myself. And I genuinely do rate Cloud 9. I know the name of the product this commentor was trying to plug and all this has done is ensure it will never appear here.

    Shocking. But at least you’ve got spam-pirates taking the time to identify your blog enough to be a relevant annoyance and liberty taker. We tend to get surreal one liners like… ‘Really proud of what you’ve achieved. Good luck in the future’ And then underneath a link to a loan company based in the far east. This happened with a recipe for slow roast pork. I mean did they think we wouldn’t notice? Really.

  2. Yes, I get a lot of ‘we love your fashion/lifestyle/beauty blog’ – jeez could they not just be bothered to check even a weeeee bit?!

  3. Removes toxins from the hair?

    Ahahahahaha science fail.

    Hello I have seen that someone has used some of our product info without our say so to have a go at Cloud Nine Irons this was not us. We want our product to stand on its own not by having a go at others.
    Please do not think this was in any way.

    I hit the “reject” button straight when I see those comments. They probably think beauty lover = stupid? Have to admire their persistence though, it must have taken sometime to trawl the net like that, or perhaps their trawling software isn’t that good. 😀

  7. God I find that so cheeky and as a blogger myself I ge there too. I wish they’d get themselves a proper marketing method and stop spamming our content. lol.

    Ah, spammers, not the most sophisticated souls. I do like to follow the way they target a post though – I once got a makeup tattooing place link comment on a post that had the phrases “semi-matte” “part of the permanent line” and “make up” in it – of course, they’d searched for “semi-permanent make up” and then not actually read the post. Or maybe they did read it, didn’t care, and thought they’d plug anyway.

    PS: It’s amazing how it’s always someone else who does these things, and never the company itself – it’s the internet equivalent of “A big boy did it and ran away….”
