Strange comments
Posted on | August 30, 2010 | Comments Off
Hey all,
I’m taking a break from the literary reviews to chat again about SEO. I just wanted to comment on all of the strange comments that I have been getting, just incase my more literary viewers were curious.
One important practice of SEO is called blog commenting or blog networking. Essentially, you leave a comment on a recent posting (hopefully a nice, relevant one) and a link to your website as well, as most blogs give you a specific field for this. The problem is that a lot of people do this very, very badly. I have a lot of comments that say “great post! Need student loans?” (no) and also “This post is okay – here’s some information on the Tea Party” (double no). Irregardless to whether I care for the comments, my blog is a no-follow blog, meaning the code in the comments section indicates to spiders that they should disregard the links in there. So posting on my blog in the first place is a waste of time.
WordPress asks for my approval for each and every comment, which is a bit of a pain, but does allow me to keep the spam and the riffraff away. As soon as someone posts an intelligent comment, I promise I will let everyone know.
Best,
M.
