   Not a bug in Search Meter, just wondering if people are seeing similar behavior.

   I get (according to Search Meter) tons of searches for domain name plus the word tools (these are from my last 30 days list):

   • actionably 25 1
   • rissvabsent.t35.me+tools 15 0
   • {website} 10 0
   • http://www.dallasvalet.com tools 8 0
   • http://www.industrialtoolboxinc.com tools 8 0
   • http://www.ugmachinery.com tools 8 0
   • cosmetic.741.com+tools 5 0
   • tecofna.t35.me+tools 5 0
   • tfiles.biz+tools 5 0
   • TripIt 5 12
   • dinotde.t35.me+tools 4 0
   • Dopplr 3 11
   • easternsecret4fatloss.com tools 3 0

   There are many more, but this is a good sample. Only a few of those terms make any sense on my blog - what are all the "tools" ones about?

   Is this some kind of attempt to generate spam?

   Yes, this is most likely spam-related. Interesting to see what spambots get up to, isn't it? :)

   hi john,
   wp book is a pretty good plugin, but there was some sort of spamming in my website. Today i saw that comments from unknown facebook users were posted in my blog, well i have marked those comments as spam but isn't there any plugin for wp book like a captcha so that there would be least spamming? or a plugin such that no one would be able to comment on my posts using facebook unless i have approved them?......please help me out..
