This is a really good blog, I’ve just found it but wow! Keep up the good work… sorry, couldn’t resist…

Spammers ruin a good thing – we all want quality over quantity everytime. Typically, if you can’t add anything new, exciting, fresh, or distinctive to a blog then my rule of thumb is don’t even try.

Point 3 is a definite- I see it increasing constantly!

I think there are far more nofollow blogs out there now than dofollow, so the dofollow blogs seem to get a concentration of spam. If every blog was dofollow then it wouldn’t be as noticeable. I’m sure I picked up recently somewhere that Google could be changing their methods shortly..further details escape me.

Many new system designed to fight Spammer, but in the end only make our world becomes more difficult. So, don’t be a spammer in any form. I also moderate all comments on my blogs. You’re right that this is a waste of useful time.

Technology Zone states “If Google had better ways to index pages and rank them then no one would look for ways like commenting to get backlinks. Of course nothing can stop the spammers. They are always there.” Still that sliver of dedicated bloggers looking to elevate online discourse exists. Let’s hope their efforts count for something.

I agree completely. I get the same nonsense on my blog and cant stand it. I can understand what they are doing though due to the fact that the more that you put your name out there the more traffic you receive which reflects on your profit.

commenting on the blogs… can really boost your SERPs undoubtedly… but the things that must be properly taken care of here is the reading of the content.. of,course i won’t appreciate a comment on my blog that don’t have anything related to my post… you have raised the valid dont’s which i think the people should understand as early as possible…

Yes, those kind of comments could be annoying. I understand people who want to put them on blogs – it’s just easy way of filling all empty places that could be filled. The other way is that those posts have no sense at all. As far as I’m not a fan of that behavior I can understand them – just want some money without working too hard. But if they only knew how much hard work blog author must put to make his site really popular they would probably loose their hats. Sometimes all of those internet-marketing issues look so easy, but it is just a mirage. Web marketing is a tough work and also spammers should know that!

If this was a nofollow blog I wouldn’t be sitting here trying to find a way to put make my comment sound 100% natural. Geez, thanks A LOT for the pressure.

Liza: Aw shucks, now you’re just sucking up!

Seriously though, there’s almost always an element of self-promotion involved in commenting, and that’s OK as long as you add value to the discussion. Thanks for stopping by.
