Blogging Comments, SEO and SPAM Comments
Today, I’m going to talk about commenting on blogs and one of my pet hates when auditing the comments on my blogs. We all know that comments to blog posts are an excellent way to generate back links to your blog, thus improving its search engine rankings. This is an extremely valid method for link generation and, when used properly, is extremely effective. The one thing that I have seen though is the amount of abuse that this is open to! What is even more annoying is that a number of the comments that I audit as spam seem to be automatically generated. The entries on my blogs are even read - these commentors are just using my efforts in an attempt to get their site or blog to rank more highly. This is SPAM! I have recently obtained two automatic blog commenters and can now see how these comments occur. The thing I have to say is that they are of no benefit to the commentator or to me. I mark these comments as SPAM and, in some cases, I blacklist the IP address. I take great pride in ensuring that the content on my blogs is relevant to the niche that I am writing about and not spurious. I also believe that irrelevant links will affect my overall search engine ranking and I’m not playing…… Let me say that I will make use of the automatic commentor software that I have obtained. However, I will use it carefully and make sure that I am commenting on appropriate blogs and with appropriate comments. I urge everyone else to do so to. In order to manage the amount of SPAM comments on my blog, I have installed (or in the process of installing) Spam Karma 2 on each of my blogs. This will help manage the SPAM that I am seeing. I consider a SPAM comment to be a link to a blog or a site not related to the niche that my blog targets. Examples of the SPAM comments that I see on my blogs seem to target mostly Drug sites (xanax etc) and Credit Cards however, recently I have also seen Holiday houses used as well. Commentators beware - I will SPAM irrelevant comments and blacklist IP addresses to ensure that my blog remains “pure”. I encourage comments on my blogs - they are great feedback and, do assist in SEO, but I only encourage relevant comments…… What type of comments are you seeing on your blog and how do you feel about them? |
