Actually Joey, no, I like participating in this site and inbound links are just a small benefit. I think Ronald has a great blog site & from his traffic I’d say so do many others. Just look at his popular posts – views per day. I’d be willing to bet that if he’d share some of his other stats, you’d see that once someone finds this site, he looks around a for while.
Your dad, Tom

Great thing that you’ve done that. Mine, I installed re-CAPTCHA as adviced by Google to prevent auto-commenting but still I turn on my comment moderation for human spammers.

We understand.. Who ever want spams? So what you suggest is a very good idea. You have to protect the dignity of your blog too so good luck buddy! Thanks for telling us about your plan.

I use Akismet and it does a pretty good job of catching the junk. The spammers have found me now and I’ll find anywhere from 10 – 30 new spam replies a day. Besides the content being a joke, the reply emails are usually to some non-existent website.

I added Keyword Luv and CommentLuv to my site. I’ve found that the real people who leave relevant replies usually have a decent blog themselves. These plug-in’s allow them to receive a little link luv back while providing me some new readers. I don’t mind sharing.

Due to the large number of software that can really by pass the antispam bots, it really pays to have a look of your blog comments every once in a while.

Also, in this way, you can also check new patterns that the spammers are using to bypass your anti spam plugins.

I really wouldn’t see caring about the quality of the content on your site as being harsh. At the end of the day it is your site and you want it to be of a high standard or over time you will lose your readership!

I think it’s a very good thing that Google and others are caring more about comment quality. Blogs have become such an important part of the internet and it’s so tiresome reading a long list of ‘nice post’ and ‘great blog’ comments in between the interesting ones!

I mostly check for relevancy. If the comment is not relative to the post, it’ll get deleted or marked as spam.

May I know if, how could you determine if it is a spam or not? Because I’ve been using akismet and I found out that some of the good comment which I must consider are considered as spam by akismet!
