   Hi everyone,

   Every now and then, one of my clients gets blog comments tha look similar to the following text. This doesn't entirely look like spam. I also have the blog commenting system password protected. Can anyone please identify what this is and is it normal for users to receive such comments?

   Comment:
   [...] While searching through the blogosphere we stumbled upon an interesting post today. etc. etc. etc. [...]

   Thanks!

   Regards,
   Jon

   Haha. Yes, I have read a lot of it actually. Obviously not all, however I did know about trackbacks. Maybe I just didn't know what to look for?

   Thanks for your warm response. :P

   Rgds,
   Jon

   You may want to follow the links as they may be getting hit by a blog scrapper who's stealing your client's content.
