Going to go nofollow if the spam doesnt stop.

This blog is a ‘dofollow’ blog. That means that if you comment and I approve the comment you get a real link. If you comment with something useful, on topic you’ll get a link which could help you improve your search engine positions.

However I am seriously thinking about changing this to try and limit the amount of spam, crap, useless and TBH offensive porn and Rx stuff thats been coming through. Part of the reason I’m posting less is that I’m having to wade through a couple of hundred spam comments every day, thats after akismet has removed the majority of spam.

Please behave responsibly and don’t submit crap else I’ll go back to nofollow and make commenting on this blog worthless - its not something I want to do but please add value not waste my time.

    I guess that’s just the way it is, if you plant flowers there gonna be bees flying around, if you have a do follow blog well, there gonna be spammers trying to get a benefit out of it.. maybe that’s just the natural law of the internet jungle.
    I know it sucks to deal with spam comments and to sort them everyday, but no pain no gain, making this blog do follow gives you traffic right ? well, so those spams are your pain I guess. I have a friend who had a do follow blog, he dealt with spams everyday but he didn’t quit until he reached PR 4. But in the end, do follow.. no follow.. it’s your decission, think of what’s best for you hope you make the right decission, see ya.

    Don’t approve spam comments or install Akistem or something.
    The ones that comment ontopic should get a backlink,why don’t you think about that too ? At least you can give them one backlink for commenting and entering your blog.

    I’m cool with useful comments - and happy to give out links to everyone. But if one more person gives the cookie cutter response of “nice blog. Will bookmark. Buy Viagra” or something equally pap will explode. If every poster posted something useful, constructive and worthwhile they can all have a link - assuming that their site isn’t porn/Rx/hate crime sort of stuff. Will stick it out for a while.
