Deleting Dofollow Blog Comments
Filed Under Do-Follow Info
Dofollow Blog Commenting
First of all, here’s to a happy and prosperous 2010 to you!
Over the last few weeks, I have been going through the comments on the blog, and deleting a ton of them.
For those of you who have made great comments – thank you, and I’m sorry your great comments have been over shadowed by the all too many crappy comments that seem to dominate popular do follow blogs.
My goal is to login each day and delete the comments that need to be deleted. This is not my favorite task, and a task that adds no money to my pocket, but it needs to be done daily. Bear with me if I miss a few days.
After reading through a lot of comments, I am seeing a trend of comments that I will be deleting.
First, I have seen a lot of comments similar to “Do follow blogs is a great thing in the field of SEO.” or “Thanks for the DoFollow blog list”. These are comments that I have allowed in the past, but I will no longer be allowing.
This type of comment is relevant, but it is too short and does not really add any value to the blog comments. It suggest you really do read the post you are commenting on, and then leave 2-3 sentences of content that are relevant and make sense if you want your comment approved.
I have also seen a lot of those commenting leaving links in their comments. If you have read my dofollow blog comment rules, you will find that I do not allow links in the comments.
Here is the rule:
“4. Don’t use your comments to list every website you own. After leaving some good comments, don’t blatantly advertise your other websites. I’m already giving you an incoming link with your selected anchor text. If you add additional websites, I probably won’t approve your comments.
If you add a website in the comments that is directly related to the discussion, even if it’s yours, I will allow it. If I think you are just trying to get more links, I won’t allow it.”
————
I am already giving you a dofollow link with your chosen keyword text in the title, don’t take advantage of me by trying to get one in the comment text. Unfortunately, I have deleted some good comments because they included a link in their comment, advertising another of their websites. The only exception is if the website is relevant to the topic and contains information what will help others. I have found that this is rarely the case.
So remember, keep the comments good – about 2-3 sentences related to the blog post topic, and don’t include links in the comments and you will probably be approved, giving you a long term incoming link.
In a few days I will be posting about how the Followlist.com Dofollow Blog List is about to get even better.

This is one of the problems dofollow blogs owners face especially you that allow comments almost immediately.
But people are so ungrateful! why should anyone still add additional link in their comment after the reward they get from commenting, when most of the popular blogs use nofollow attributes on their blogs.
Yes I have seen that you have deleted some comment from your blog.Well I also hate that make comment by putting link. After all I get lots of spam comment on my blog, they just copy a small amount of content from other site and just paste on the comment.
I’m new to all of this, and based on knowledge gained from a respected mentor, I have enabled my sites so they are all do follow, and personally like the interaction, and I like to give something back to visitors who take the time to leave a worthy comment.
Having said that I believe one of my sites suffered page rank bleed because I was not building incoming links as much as I was approving outbound. I wonder if there is a set strategy one can use to prevent this from happening.
This is far the best article on do follow blog I found during last year thanks!
Definitely a motivation to check out rest of your blog post. I’m sure other find it useful as I did.
Short and irrelevant comments are the main problem for do follow blogs. All comes and drops their links and never returns again. And if you have too many external links and only few lines of text your page rank will drop. I found this one my site. It like your site is similar to website directory and they suck in eyes of Google.
Do follow blogs is a great thing in the field of SEO.
I’m just kidding.
Thank you for allowing comments and links on your website, but you’re right, a lot of people have begun abusing dofollow blogs. I need blog commenting as a way to advertise my websites too, but even I don’t like coming across blatant ads and nonsense info! Maybe you can have some sort of screening process for your comments so you don’t have to keep alloting time just for deleting useless comments.
There are a lot of commentors that don’t say anything related to the post and think their comment is going to stay online. I get emails everytime a comment is made and delete all the bad ones.
It’s very difficult to manage the comment for any do follow blogger. A do follow blog subscribed by huge number followers. There should be some limits as you described in this post.
I think decision to make your blog dofollow or nofollow in your own hands. You have dominion of your blog, so you so you have the right to delete unwanted comments. Regard.
thanks for this useful post but whenever any one is removing the dofollow comment than they are giving the desperation to the newbie if you want to achieve a good and fast ranking in the most of the search engine than blog commenting is the easiest and the fast method to get a backlink from the high pr site. if you made a comment on a high pr site if that link is the dofollow one than it will give a boost in your ranking. .
I just wish more people would post up quality comments instead of “great post, thanks”.
If more people would post useful comments, then more people would use Dofollow.

“Thanks for the brilliant and informative post.”
My own no-follow blog receives dozens of automated comments like these every day. I can only imagine what you have to deal with operating a do-follow blog.
Hi,
There you are right.comment should be relevant to actual post.I also see that many of the commentators are just commenting to get a back link.But all commentators should write their comment relevant to the post.
Really this is a major problem that if you allow others to comment on your post and comments are do follow as well then people exploit this facility by giving irrelevant comments. The only purpose of their comments are to get a link. I think a blog owner can easily distinguish between spammers and a healthy comment because he knows the vision of his post and he can easily identify that spammer never goes through the whole post and he never bothers to contribute in discussion.
The solution of this problem is simply delete those comments.
I think it’s important to remind your readers of your comment policy once in a while, like you did here. Often, people get used to posting short “drive-by” comments just to get the link and they forget that you are running a blog that takes time and effort to maintain, meaning that you want it to have quality content and quality comments rather than 20 “nice post” comments with 5 links each. Being able to post comments on a dofollow blog is a privilege and a favor from the blog owner and I think many people forget that.
That is the downfall to having a do follow blog tons and tons of comment spam, it can get rediculous at some points I made a blog do follow once and regretted it. It does however bring some decent traffic to your site, maybe not the greatest traffic but better than none.
Sometimes the links on the comments very inconvenient for the owner of do follow blogs. So, I strongly agree with what you do. Moderation is also necessary to filter the comments.
The only purpose of their comments are to get a link. I think a blog owner can easily distinguish between spammers and a healthy comment because he knows the vision of his post.
You have lot of rule for your blog commenting. I think most blogger does not care about your regulation. they just make a comment and finish.
Followlist is a great site that promote SEO. I have a doubt regarding Dofollow. Where can I find do follow blogs with high PRs
Do Follow Blogs are very Important aspects in SEO point of view I like it.
Perfectly reasonable rules, I’d agree. I’ve seen blogs turned to trash after the spammers came and left. For all those complaining of the inconvenience, you just have to grin and bear it. It’s unfortunate but a necessity, just like laws are a necessity in the city.
Thanks for the information about Dofollow blog commenting. I will definitely learn more about dofollow rules.
Dofollow blog commenting is good but it can continue only to following the blog guideline.
I’m really sorry to hear this, but it does seem like every time someone tries to help people out by advertising “do follow” comments there are always some idiots who try to spam it out like crazy and ruin it for everyone. Really, how hard is it to include a few lines of new content to thank a blog owner for having a do follow comment blog? Not long at all – and it’s more than a fair trade off.
Recently i have ran across this site and found the site is full of worthy suggestion about do follow and no follow link juice. Now the fog has cleared on my mind about the do follow and no follow link.
Thanks for your valuable rules. I am going to make my blog dofollow and definitely add in your dofollow list.
It’s a difficult balancing act, you want to encourage comments but you don’t want the spammers. Personally as long as some effort has been put in the minimal link juice you receive is a fair pay off. At least that’s my thoughts.
The best way to avoid being labeled as a spammer is to do a little research on the blog on which you are about to comment.
One thing I like to tell is that, it is difficult to find dofollow blogs and more than that it gives pain while dofollow bloggers delete comments that we post.
I was pleased to read that you are taking the time to delete junk comments. That is quite an undertaking and we could wish there was a plugin that did a better job of filtering out the non-contributing type of comment. That would certainly save a whole heap of your time. In this age of automated everything (or nearly) you’d think some clever programmer or blog owner would be working on this, eh.
Congrats also on dedicating a whole blog to this topic. DoFollow, we love you.

Before commenting on a blog post, read the post. If you have time read each sentence and after getting a good idea of the post comment on it.
It does seem like a DoFollow blog is somewhat of a catch 22.
I for one always leave relavent comments when I’m building links using DoFollow Blogs. Because I have some blogs myself as DoFollow and KeywordLuv, I try and treat the comments I leave as the quality of comments that I would like to se on my DoFollow sites.
So while DoFollow sites do tend to get many more comments, I wonder what percentage of them actually contribute to the conversation.
Do you have any thought on what percentage you are deleting vs keeping?
My advice is that read the post carefully. It is easily to delete a comment. But if the comment is there, chances of getting good PR during Google PR update is higher.
I have a DoFollow blog of my own as well, and I understand that many do not bother leaving good comments; these are usually the “outsourced” comments.
One of the benefits of a DoFollow blog is you can get to check out many, many types of websites, though. I’ve seen good ones, mediocre ones, not so good ones, and downright awful ones.
If poeple do add to the blog / conversation then they do deserve a link, but i do understand why should the blog owner have to spend the time deleting “great post” etc. Very interesting thought provoking blog.
It’s good to know I’m not the only one who has to sort tons of blog comments everyday! I maintain two blogs; right now one of them gets pretty good comments and is a breeze to moderate.
However, the other one gets 100’s of comments a day that are just jammed full of links and nothing else, most of which get deleted everyday!
I totally understand where you’re coming from about deleting blog comments!
Maybe you should include a couple of lines below the submit button that spam comments will be deleted, this may make people think twice about wasting their time if they are submitting manually.
It is simply amazing the type of comments you get as soon as you turn your site into a doffollow blog. Once you make the switch you have to realize that you will be spending a little extra time screening comments…
On the other hand, people comment spam no matter if the links are dofollow or not.
One thing that you could do that may help you is to make it so wordpress automatically removes any hyperlinks within the message box once submitted. This will at least stop all those links in the body of the comments.
You know we always think blog is a good place to get backlinks,but some of them are no follow,but also some people do it,everyday i need to delete so many spam,in the comment only could see links,maybe we should use “nofollow”.
If your comment is not germane to the subject, then a why would it merit a link back to your site? However, if you actually have something to say that is on topic and relevant, then why not garner a do-follow backlink?
Short and irrelevant comments are the main problem for do follow blogs. All comes and drops their links and never returns again. And if you have too many external links and only few lines of text, your page rank will drop.
The median price metric provides one method to analyze the direction of home prices, but should not be used as the sole source of data from which to form conclusions.
Wonderful, what nice and clear blog this is, keep it up. I have bookmarked it to read great comments. Another one thing just add this bolg to jewelry directory then other people can read this.
I definitely agree that valuable comments must be rewarded with a do-follow link, but how can someone do this without getting tones of spam comments?
I believe it would be great to do something “first 10 comments no-follow”, that’s how a lot of spammers will get lost. And this could be available for most of blog owners…
I believe any valuable comments should be rewarded with a do-follow link, however, in order to do this blog owners would definitely need to check-up daily their comments and remove the spammy ones.
I do get huge number of spamming comments and i cant do much about them so i have to disable auto publish for comments…..I generally allow comments which are relavent and do not contain any link…..
comment on dofollow blogs for beneficial gain whether it helps I delete comments on my site that are spammy.
I have some do follow auto blogs but they delete the comments after 2 to 3 days & i want permanent comment for longer period of time.
I hate spam and I think NoFollow is a good way to keep of spammers. But DoFollow will get you more traffic and commenters. It’s a hard choice.
If people take the time to post quality information on the internet, then there would be more reason to raise the value of the pages. By posting unrelated spam comments, you’re not doing yourselves any good.
But I guess I’m not talking to anyone, because these spammers just let their bots run.
I appreciate the post, and thanks for filtering out the pointless blog comments and encouraging good quality content on the internet. And thanks for the follow backlink as well.
Most of the peoples are going to choose do follow but still I am with no follow & also my blog is having no follow because I really hate spammers & no follow is a good for keep spammers away from you. & if any one can have no follow then he will get only real comments.
I think it’s not sufficient to blog have do follow, while it’s also necessary that comments must be unique & proper, otherwise moderator will remove that.
I got the experience in the field of SEO, even blog is do follow but you will get the result in traffic it will take more time and most of people have no concept of do follow links and no follow links.
Do Follow Blogs are very Important aspects in SEO point of view I like it.
Great great great I cant say more then that
my blog is having no follow because I really hate spammers
well , i think i really quite agree with you
