Do You Have Time For Paid Comments?

Started by Vlad Zablotskyy · 10 months ago

While there are certainly cases when paid comments can be 100% legitimate, I still stand by my somewhat harsh criticism of the website than brought the issue into the spotlights in recent weeks.
Today I was faced with a little bit of a dilemma. Seemingly innocent comments with clear attempt to ... Continue reading »

    Email me the email address he used, he has been leaving a few on my blog as well and we can compare notes

    The site he links through to is a webhosting affiliate site, but it does seem at least a fair attempt, though not as good as yours.

    Andy,

    I really felt bad because I do have a few web hosting affiliate websites, and I know how difficult to get lings in that niche....

    I was worried about this when I installed do follow, but I don't' get much traffic so for right now it's not an issue, I know I have seen alot of people who are jumping off the do follow bandwagon and go back to do not follow. I may think about it once my blogs get up and really going, but for now I'll leave it.

    Holly,

    I personally will never consider going back to "nofollow", even though it looks like my blog is acting more and more spammers.

    The only blog I would consider doing this with is a blog that I also have affiliate links on for making money programs that don't have to do with blogging.

    I may just end up installing a program that will only follow after a person leaves so many comments. Of course this is all considering I have a spam problem later on.

    Holly,

    I just visited your blog. The links in comments are still "nofollowed". I hope you are still following this post, so you can explain your above comments.

    Blogger likes to reset things on me, it deletes my google codes, and turns on no follow, I usually check it every friday to see if they changed it, guess they did on me again. I'm hopeing to get my own hosting, but I just got screwed over by my college and I'm not going to have any money for a while.... Thanks for letting me know I'll have to fix it.

    It would have been a lot better if there was some facility to manually insert nofollow attribute to comments that looks like spam. Hope my site won't get filled with spam comments.

    Joice,

    There are plugins that can help you to moderate the spam. Here and there a spammy message slips through. For me if I feel that I would rather have a "nofollow" link for a particular comment- the comment does not belong on my blog.
