In addition, there are spammers that leave links to questionable websites as comments to site articles. This type of things may greatly undermine your hard work, as nobody likes to visit an Internet site with many hundreds of fake comments, also the increased traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the server on which your Internet site is hosted, which can result in the site not functioning properly.
