Comment Spam

I have several websites and blogs. recently I have been recieving alot of comment spam.

Do these people not know that this no longer works? In the past one could leave a comment with a link to thier website or blog. This was an effective way to get your links out there, but it got abused.

Too many people were just spamming comments with generic text to get a link to thier website or blog posted. A good number of these people were scammers, but there were many, and stilll are amature internet marketers applying this old comment spam tactic.

When commenting on a post, it is a good idea to make sure that the comment is relevent to the post content. Then there is the fact that a lot of blogs and webstes do not allow links to be posted. even if they are allowed, rel=nofollow is most likely to be implemented.

Then there are people like me that moderate thier comments. I do allow links to be posted as long as the link is relevant, and the comment is not spammy. It must have good relevant content. I have had some that were just blatent attemps to gert a backlink.

For instance; this blog is about Internet Marketing, posting a comment that reads like this "hi, love your blog, please visit my site at louivitton.con", really? That is just plain stupid.

So if you are into comment spam, or paying someone to do it for you, you are just wasting your time, money and efforts. It can also get you penalized by the search enjines if you are consdistanly getting marked as spam.

Here is a little advice, do not comment spam blogs, especially not mine. Thank you
