Yes, I agree too that blog comments CAN be used for backlinks also, but the main purpose is to actually contribute to the blog and interact w/ others. I can TOTALLY understand why blog owners don’t want to just be used for thousands of people that never give anything back…you gotta contribute if you want to get that nice little backlink juice…dont just take only.

Give and take…has its place on blogs too:)

I have found this to be so true and in the past and even occasionally now my comments are moderated or simply gone, I find it disheartening as I have taken the time to read whats going on to learn some thing more and add my 50cents worth only to have it moderated, look I do understand that its entirely up to the owner of the blog, what comments he wants there.

As per your information about deleting the comments its totally depend upon webmaster of that particular information and if anybody is love to read the blogs and make the comments on that then webmaster should maintain the particular comments. comments helps to get exact information about the specific topic.

I think having installed the top commentators plugin, you will be guaranteed to get alot of useless one liner comments, I know that firsthand from experience, at least you actually HAVE a moderation queue, when I started, I thought I'd be nice and have auto-approve on, BIG mistake.

I could imagine how spammy it must get. Especially with all the long tail keywords. Definitely makes it lowers the professionalism of a site when all your comments are by “How to build a wind mill” and “make more money from home online now”

I agree with your strategy. I’m pretty much lenient with comments on my site but I’ve noticed that I’ve been getting a freaking long spam comment from one source so i had to install Askimet plugin to ban that Ip address.

I think using Akismet is a good idea because it’s blocked a lot of spam on my blogs, but sometimes it does stop good comments. That’s why I check my spam queue often.

I can understand your reasoning though with a popular blog.

Well it’s abvious that spam filters are not 100% accurate and happen to filter out genuine comments. However I gotta say that I’ve seen some blogs without the spam filter on and the comment sections there were completely cluttered with bot-generated posts.

Hey Mike, I think it's a really good idea to filter your comments. I have a health/fitness blog and I get no less than 10 spam comments a day, thank god for akismet. I found that when I was letting every comment through it actually attracted more spam comments and the number of really good comments I was getting dropped big time. That and not responding to comments can and will kill a blog. Steve Online Deals Blogs last blog post..Best Deal on Logitech X540 Computer Speakers
