Comment spam. Everyone has encountered it. Even the typical blog reader who just stumbled upon an article for something they searched in Google has probably seen their fair share of comments from people by the name of Loan Modification that think that article is a “great post” and would also like to drop in the fact that they offer incredible deals. Here are some different viewpoints of valuable comments and comment spam from blog owners to link builders.
Blog Owner’s Perspective
As a blog owner, I engage in a daily battle with comment spam. Every day, there are several posts with moderated comments, waiting to be cleared, from people who have not even seemingly read the post, but comment anyway in hopes of dropping a link for link building or traffic generating purposes.
Do I ask for comment spam? Some people would think so, considering I made my blog dofollow with the added benefit of KeywordLuv. But I kind of consider those things rewards for good, valuable comments. If you can prove in your comment that you actually read the post and had some insight into it, then you deserve a link back to your site. If you can’t, then I will probably not approve your comment.

If you’re like me, you find yourself writing many to do lists for home, work, blogging, etc. And more of the time than not, the planning is easier to do than the execution itself.
I believe that one of the reasons to do lists never get done are because they are not specific enough. Let’s look at three items on my to do list for social media and networking.
- Update Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn daily
- Participate on forums
- Connect with new people on social media networks
Looks pretty standard, right? Well, on a busy day, it’s easy to bypass the goals you have set for yourself, or put minimal effort into each of the goals, thinking you have succeeded in accomplishing them. Let’s look at some ways to define each to do item more effectively using the principle of taking small steps to accomplish goals.

It all began while compiling a list of high PageRank dofollow blogs in and not yet a part of the dofollow blog directory. I know, there are a ton of lists out there of high PR dofollow blogs, but I find that most do not include pertinent information, like live links to the blogs, if they require registration, do they allow keywords, etc. Plus a lot of the lists out there are older, so many of the sites are no longer dofollow. Some sites on these lists are dofollow, but don’t actually link to commenters’ websites but some profile page. And some sites have not updated in a long time, plus they close comments for articles after a certain time period, so there is no where to comment. But back to the point…
Do you know what the most difficult information to find was on many of blogs? A quick blurb on what the blog was actually about.
