  Just today I’ve noticed that some spam comments contain my own site’s URL in their message. I haven’t seen that happen before and am wondering if there’s any cause for concern? Will my blog get mistaken for a spam site?
  Pingbacks are not enabled on my site, if that’s of any relevance.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi, I’ve not seen that before, but we’d be happy to take a look. Could you send links to a few examples?

  I copied the links from the spam comments in my reply and tried posting it three times but somehow none of my replies are showing up??

  They were ironically caught as spam here too. :)

  Overall, you don’t have anything to worry about, it’s the content of the comment being caught as spam, not your site’s URL.

  Oh, haha! Okay, good to know and thanks for following up even if it didn’t turn out to be much!
