Blog Comments

We’ve recently noticed that we are getting lots of comments received on blog posts at this site. Most of it seems to be down to the fact that we follow our links in comments and this has been noticed and publicised, and now we are getting flooded with one line comments by people wanting to gain a backlink.

We follow links in our comments as we want to reward good quality comment posts, however we do not want to become a link spam site. So from now on we are going to be much much more selective in the comments we allow through moderation.

One line comments saying “great post” or “awesome blog” will not be published. Only comments that add something to the post will be accepted, a good post will give an example to either back up (or argue against) the idea proposed in the article. It must add something to the conversation.

As an incentive to the commenter any anchor text can be used for your name as long as it is not offensive and the link does not point to a gambling, adult or pharmacy site.

So please everyone, post comments that have meaning, or don’t post them at all.
