Google warns about blog commenting

It just back to link spam. Do not allow spammers to post links to spam sites anywhere on your site. Whether its a blog or a forum, take a firm stance against spam.

To be perfectly honest, spammers do not care about what the people at google say.

I just saw this on Google Webmaster Blog. Thanks for sharing!

I think blogging is safer and more efficient than blog commenting. Even better, it is under your own control.

Have a nice day,

Actually we can control those spammer by moderating our blog site or site. If we think those comments are created by the bots or automated we can disapprove their posting and we can even filter it out so that they will not spam our site.

Their points can block spam but they may make real users harder to comment. For a single comment, they have to register, approve the mail, log in again and comment. Who can do all this stuff, it will be easier to post with name/email id/ url

I think its better to do all those stuff than to have a huge spam comments in your site, in that way we can be safe not to be called as spammer.

Well, i try to be considerate in terms of approving comment. I do have a news blog and in some cases, i saw type of comments that give negative response on my post based on what their perception about the issue. I do reply and quote the said comment to come up with an interaction between the publisher and the commenter, we exchange ideas and i gain something valuable from their thoughts. And I do give credit on those kind of post and if i find it very informative i'll make the link their link a do-follow.

I always stop commenting on my blogs, and always set it as default setting, because I get automated spam comments, and I can't manage them.

I think it's better to close the comments to protect myself for spammers.

I can't believe that I get spam from my contact form. I think there are some bots that are searching for contact forms and just complete the forms automatically and send meg some really strange links...

I always try to comment when I have some more info about the topic, otherwise I prefer to remain silent and leave the site.

I think I am not in any trouble

I always found blog commenting a bit grey - imo you should mix it up...

That was a good attitude buddy, at least you did not spam the site. I wish all people who make a comment will do what you do so that internet environment will be clean and healthy.

I can say that the author himself of the blogs should be responsible of creating moderation on blog comments because as search engines can easily crawl on them, spammers might have the opportunity to just leave their links there without suggesting any relevant content.

There is no wrong with blog commenting because it will all lie upon the value of the content shared or commented - many experts do comment on others' blogs anyway just to give them great tips and advices. And surely, it will make the followers do the same, so it's just being fair at times.

I hope that helps too, I got also more tips from here MassOutsource (dot) com/Report

to be honest I am not surprised - I have some blogs and the amount of comment spam you will receive is amazing - I dont hate spammers that the way the internet works but at least you should raise the bar a bit for them LOL

I agree. :xbiggrin:

bytheway I use akismet and that works great -

1. No man. A big percentage of my backlinks is from blog commenting
2. Signature links are not dead. I rank 2nd for the keyword I have in my sig. Triphp is my only backlinks source for that page.

pretty hard to get some backlinks for poker...
