Sometimes comments can be good whether spam or not. We can some weird long tail hits because of the comments.

I would also hate to see all that spam on my blog no matter how good the comment it is or not. I understand a nickname or the domain name, but not a 4 words key phrase …

Even better!

“Did somebody just sneak out the backdoor?”
“Nah, just a bunch of A4 sheets.”

You guys should make a ghillie suit that resembles your home. Check out this video of a ghillie suit. Safe for work.

I find that I am getting far more responses in favour of this move than against it. I’ve also noticed a trend of many other blogs doing the same thing. I’ll ride it out and see how it goes.

Indigo, that gives me an idea. I was disappointed to see that none of the ghillie suits would allow me to sneak out of work early, but a bear suit might.

“Who’s that sneaking out the back door?”
“Looks like a bear.”
“Oh, must be new then.”

I also had to add a “no seo keywords in the name field” policy after joining the No follow list

Doing that and installing the lucias link love plugin means that most people on my blogs are once again commenting with their real name or nickname

“I don’t like seeing it filled up with “Make Money Online”, “Cheap Pharmaceuticals””
that’s the point. A blog is a brand, my own brand. I don’t like it when commenters use the name of their web or their keyword. Use actual name, commenting should be a little bit more personal, treat it as if you were talking to my face, you wouldn’t tell me your name is “Cheap Steroid” , right?
