DoFollow Blog Comment Rules
Filed Under Do-Follow Info
My blogs have been dofollow for a few months now, and for the most part it is going very well. However, I do get a few comments that I will NOT approve because they are obvious comment spam.
I want to give you some real life examples of what I consider comment spam that I will not approve, and provide you with some dofollow blog comment rules.
Before I do, I want to stress how important it is to post quality comments, related to the post you are commenting on.
Remember, DoFollow blog owners are giving you some link love, in exchange for your quality comments.
If you, and others, post junk comments, blog owners will get tired of seeing the junk, get tired of moderating junk comments, get tired of being taken advantage of, and will turn nofollow back on.
So, please be considerate, and appreciative of dofollow blog owners by doing the right thing and leaving quality comments related to the post you are commenting on.
DoFollow Blog Comment Rules
1. Read the post you are going to be commenting on! I also read several of the current comments if there are some. It only takes a few minutes to read the comments and get a general feel on what people are thinking.
Then, post comments directly related to the blog post, related to the general tone of the comments, or related to a comment left by a specific person.
2. Be kind, even if you disagree with the blog owner’s post, or some individual comments. As a blog owner if you blast me or some of my posters directly, I won’t allow your comments. If you disagree with me, that’s fine. Disagree, offer more information to support your disagreement, and do it respectfully.
3. I prefer at least a short paragraph of comments, that adds to the comment conversation. A simple “I agree” is not going to be approved by me.
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.
Okay, so here are some examples of posts that I did not allow.
Comment #1
From my post: Do-Follow Blog Directory – New Feature
———
I changed my blog to dofollow also:
http://www.website-withheld.blogspot.com/
http://www.website-withheld.com (Note: This is the same website user used in the comments form)
———
Sorry, but I want more comments than just telling me you changed to dofollow, and giving me two more websites in the comments field.
Plus, this was in a post that didn’t really fit, I don’t think the user really read the post. If you want to let me know about your dofollow blogs, add them to my dofollow blog directory that is mentioned in the post.
Comment #2
From my post: How Do I Know if A Blog is Do-Follow?
———
Well when you open a website you can right click and check if it is a dofollow or no follow by clicking on properties. Do follow allows you to make comments where any link in the website can be track. No follow stop there itself.
———
The above comment is a nice paragraph of related text, but it’s apparent they didn’t read my post at all. My post was all about how to tell if a blog is dofollow or not.
That comment added absolutely no value to the discussion, and was just stating information I had already stated in the post.
It looked to me like the user just read the headline “How Do I Know if A Blog is Do-Follow?” and thought – oh I know the answer to that. So, they posted the answer without having any idea what the post was about.
Sorry, doesn’t pass my approval test 
Comment #3
From my post: How Do I Know if A Blog is Do-Follow?
———
it is interesting! thanks!
———
That one is pretty obvious. That sort of comment just makes me mad, and gives us responsible dofollow blog commentors a bad name.
It only takes a few minutes to read before you comment, and only takes a few minutes to post a relevant comment that adds value.
The blog owner will approve your quality comments, and appreciate you adding value.
Others who read the comments are also more likely to click on your link if you are contributing good content to the discussion.
If you have additions to my list of dofollow blog etiquette, please leave a comment with the suggestions below.
Mike

DoFollow Blog Comment Rules…
Please respect DoFollow Blog owners by following common sense dofollow blog comment rules. I provide some real life examples of bad blog comments, so you know what NOT to do. Please be considerate, and appreciative of dofollow blog owners by doing th…
You are right. Spam does not have to be automated to be spam. A person can leave just as many worthless comments as software. The line between spam and worthwhile comments is very fine.
I often get 5 comments in a row from the same visitor to my blog. I think this is because I set my dofollow to kick in after 3 posts. Sometimes all 5 comments add value so I let them through. But I still know the intention was to get some links.
It’s just hard to tell sometimes and most of the time, I just delete instead of telling Askimet it’s spam, because then the person is marked at Askimet. And I like to give the benefit of the doubt.
i think it is good to let your viewer to have another link from your site after they leave a comments. But i agree also with you that you may have a lot of work to filter out the spam comments.
Fair points, it’s not much to ask. I like the idea of dofollow but always wonder what happens when someone leaves insightful comments with a link to a bad neighbourhood site that could damage your Google ranking.
[...] DoFollow Blog Comment Rules [...]
[...] Mike from followlist.com wrote an excellent post about DoFollow blog comment rules. [...]
I had my blog set to DoFollow for months and found I was getting useless and spammy comments.
I put up with it for a few months but finally decided to go back to nofollow.
Maybe I should have written a great post like yours explaining some rules.
Thanks
Itd be great if people start respect these rules, cause sometimes its frustrating to read stupid spam comments
In fact, is very hard to do an ethical backlink work. But that is no reason to spam every blog just to get “link love”.
As the author says, its just take a moment to TRULY read the post and then write something helpful.
LOL I can so understand your comment policy. I have dofollow on my blog as well and started getting listed on different do-follow lists.
At first I did not really saw when my blog was abused by spammers, my ego got a little boost when somebody commented that the post was great and that they had dugg it but then I started seeing a pattern and really felt stupid ROFL.
At one point I have thought about switching back to nofollow, especially when another link was made to my blog from a do-follow list, and the poster was commenting just how easy it was to get PR links with just leaving some comments.
In the end though, the spam is pretty easily controlled by some good plugins, plus the delete button is my good friend. I do believe in the do-follow movement and do want to give some linkjuice to people who actually have something interesting to comment. Lazy commentators who just abuse my blog are fastly deleted without feeling bad about it
Cheers to you for your comment policy!
Thats pretty fair.
we should remember the owner of blog came to good PR is by struggling. So mostly they know whats the intentions are of a commentator.
If they made it do-follow then its not by mistake.
I think we should prefer commenting only to those blogs that we really want to read, even the intentions are backlinks.
Thank you for your post. I am fairly new to the dofollow revolution. After reading many articles like yours, I requested that my blog be dofollow. My systems engineer removed the no follow tag about a week ago and added something called comment luv. So far, I also get a lot of comments that are not satisfactory. This article will definitely help.
I should post your criteria on my website! I get so many spam comments that it gets a little overwhelming and I notice the pending comments building up. I wish everyone could read through the list and follow it. Thanks for posting this.
I have one blog that is completely overrun with spam. It got so bad that I just turned comments off. It’s really sad that some people can’t respect blog owners.
i am quite new of this dofollow, it is a shame that spammers overtake blogs tho
I belife in “dofollow model”. You give people the normal links, they respect you with a smart comments
We all apreciate the fact you are allowing the DO-Follow in your blog and I hope like in my case everybody respect the rules so we can all benefit of this mean. Thanks.
It is interesting to me that the poster who posted the following:
=====
At one point I have thought about switching back to nofollow, especially when another link was made to my blog from a do-follow list….
=====
I think he totally misses the point. Dofollow blogs get lots of link love coming in to them from all the lists of dofollow blogs. I would be glad to find my dofollow blog on all the lists, not sad.
I also appreciate your initial point #2 above. I discovered that one of the big nofollow blogs will not approve your comments if you in any way disagree with his original post, no matter if you are respectful, and no matter how valid your disagreement might be.
Hi,
I agree with all the points you made, I just wish other blog owners would take such a sensible view.
I have had several arguments with other bloggers who delete perfectly good comments just because of an anchored keyword. I think that most bloggers just do not understand how Google works.
The biggest argument I get is that an anchored link will dilute the PR of the page giving the link, which is total rubbish. The anchors “Free Mortgage Advice” or “Fred Smith” carry the same amount of link juice. It is only the site receiving keyword anchored links that will see the difference between the two links.
Another point these bloggers don’t realise is that every new comment will ping the search engines and bring the spiders back. Lastly, the benefit of having new content added to the bloggers blog via comments will probably out way the link juice lost.
Anyway, sorry to rant on.
All the best
Marco
LOL. right! lots of comments are not making sense nowadays. its only fair to remove comments that seems to shift from one topic to the other. what a load of clobbers. hehe.
I would be mad if a comment is not related at all to the real subject or comments. People abuse of the kindness of some bloggers who change to dofollow by just spamming their pages and forcing them to just go back to nofollow. That should be penalized with more strict rules for the protection of bloggers.
It’s great that you set specific rules because sometimes it hard to know what is allowed and what is not for a blog comment.
After getting unapproved by by many blogger i came across dofollow rules it,s really good information you provided you are spreading link love. All commentor should respect the blog owner.
I also support the “Do follow-movement”.It´s only fair that people who take the time to post a relevant and helpful comment will be rewarded with a link back to their site.
This do-follow movement thing will really help writers get good quality comments.
It doesn’t take to much to read the article and comments in order to contribute with a comment to the conversation. It is better than “please keep it up”, that’s not contributing at all.
Thanks for information i read your blogs all sounds are interesting i have already a dofollow blog so thanks for information.
i think it is good to let your viewer to have another link from your site after they leave a comments. But i agree also with you that you may have a lot of work to filter out the spam comments.
Thanks for joining the dofollow community. When I switched to a dofollow I started recieving a lot more comments. One thing I noticed to get rid of spam comments, is to not let any short pointless comments be posted. I think when people see a one sentence comment that got posted they think that their one sentence comment will get posted too.
Thanks for this information, i really have to know this info about the perfect blogging, many sites don’t except even the sensible comments which relate their aritcle. Now i can make a better post.
I think it is important to have a well laid out list of what you expect from your comments. If you don’t people will try and take advantage of you and claim ignorance when called out.
I’ve found people will try and take advantage of your blog comments unless you have well laid out set of guidelines for them to follow.
Hi Mike,
my hat off to you. I personally have no problem with people leaving posts on my blogs (22 of them at last count, all of which are dofollow). The only thing I ask is that they register, as they will not be able to comment unless they do so, and that they leave a comment thats on topic and not just a thanks, great post etc.
I will immediately reject such comments as spam.

Thanks for info i looked at your blogs all sounds are interesting i hold presently a dofollow blog so thanks for information.
I am appreciate your knowledge and i am agree with you that to get a back links many spammers use Do Follow Blog….
Thanks for the info…i really liked this article very much.Nowadays many people are using do follow so that they get more comments.
i think that dofollow is win-win situation, of course is necessary use some anti spam plugin like asimet, to me has been working fine too.
Some blogs is not using do-follow is because many spammers is on the net right now,…thanks for accepting my comments.
I agree, it is very difficult to keep dofollow blogs as spammers always leave their spammy comments there. I tried to delete these comments automaticaly using some plugins but this was worthless. that is why I always delete spammy comments manually.
It is true that blogs that are dofollow are the ones targeted for spammers, but the reputation of being one of them is hard to remove.
I thins I naver see type website before its very informative for me http://www.penisenlargementz.com
we really live big problems about dofollof links. maybe this article can help us. thanks for your ideas
great article thanks…
i mostly don’t consider about do follow and no follow. if i saw a nice and interesting article, i just comment on…….
It would be a good idea to penalize those I.Ps were the spam comes from so they really stop sending that crap.
it doesn’t matter to me whether it is do follow or not. If I am interested, I will post.
Do follow links is nice to promote website
I think dofollow links is like a reward for webmasters who give post related and valuable comments. This is a 2 way profit: the blog owner get more traffic and interested readers, and the visitor get useful posts and 1 way backlinks.
as long as your blog is interesting, i believe that people will comment accordingly whether or not it is dofollow or notfollow.
Seriously it does not matter if the site i comment on follows me back to my page.
Well, but no harm giving rewards for a good comment right?
(=
Thank you very much! Mike!
nice article. i mostly don’t care about commenting with or without keyword, because i always do the good comments related to articles so my 90% of comments will get approved.
Hey good post. I’m about to use a dofollow trackbacks plugin and will later try KeywordLuv. I’ve added your site to a list of links on my post. Cheers.

I think that search engines should revise the way in which they look at links to websites. Nothing should be taken away from the linking site in my view. Nice article by the way
This is a very good tip. This is also one way to know who are the spammers and who are not by the way they respond to the topic and the comment.
All rules you’ve mentioned for commenting in a blog are reasonable. I just hope that all who had the chance to comment in your blog should be at least reasonable enough to provide clean and related comment to the topic. More power to you and to your blogs.
Hi,
Very nice post.
It is necessary to gives some respect to the blog owner at least read the full blog and comment on relative matter.
Thanks for the sharing.

Just kidding
My blog is fairly new and I’m yet to receive a decent genuine comment. I’ve also gone dofollow, and though the spam hasn’t grown, it’s still all I’m getting. Very frustrating but still agree with your post. I think we all quickly become experts at spotting comments that obviously never read the initial post.
I agree that their should be rules on placing comments on do follow blogs. It’s just fair enough. Besides, if we follow these guidelines on other blogs, then we’ll receive the same treatment as well.
Well said @ Dear admin.
I think every single , commenter should show their gratitude to blog owner for allowing do follow link. some commenter just abuse these privilege, they don’t even bother to read the post and leave relevant comments. Thanks for your guideline.
Your view are appreciable and respectable. Every blog owner is facing same problem about spamming comments. Every commentator must respect to a blogger specially who have Do-Follow blog. But i would like to know one thing more that is lot of bloggers post in favor of Do-Follow blogging but they they put No-Follow attributes to their blogs, why is that?
Very nice informative post related to blog comments. I fully agree with above post when you are commenting on a particular post your comment completely related to post..
2.Hi, your site back link structure is an important aspect of your search engine optimisation and relates to the number and quality of the sites that link to your site.
A quality and relevant back link to your site help you to take the advantages of search engine. So whenever you adding back link to your site keep the relevancy factor always in mind
I think that search engines should revise the way in which they look at links to websites. Nothing should be taken away from the linking site in my view. Nice article by the way
My site is currently still nofollow but i still get those kind of comments like: thats interesting or something like that.. People dont even check if the blog is dofollow but just waste their time..
Hi,
I do agree with your opinion, I had my first batch of blogs on dofollow but later on turned them to nofollow because of spam post; the typical “I agree” posts…
Anyway, through moderating blog comments I noticed that some people copy a part of my article and post it as their comment! (like I wouldn’t notice) — This is another reason why I turned all my blogs to nofollow.
Your view are appreciable and respectable. Every blog owner is facing same problem about spamming comments. Every commentator must respect to a blogger specially who have Do-Follow blog.thanks
I’m totally agree that do follow blog owner is giving you some so needed link love in exchange for our comments. It’s a win-win situation for both parties.
I think the plug-in will still be around a while… as long as blogs are still widely in use. It’s worth installing
and using in my opinion.
It’s very good post Mike really.Everyone should respect blogger as they are also human. and they write blog for own purpose as well as for the readers also. We can get help from their posts if we can.
Definitely agree with your thought Mike.
Am a dofollow blog and feels ridiculous to most “nofollow” blog that but wants to get higher PR with free one-way backlink from doFollow blogs.
It shows the greedy and uncertainty himself when many dofollow blogs got higher PR.
Cheers Mike.
Well i appreciate that you are atleast giving some good reasons to prevent spamming i personaly use keywords but always try to take part in the discussion not just only posting for my benefit
Are blogs any different than forum posts? Most forum posts have at least two of three
“THANKS FOR THE INFO” between actually useful posts.
I have slightly use a different way to comment on websites and that is i first read the post that is mandatory and then read the first two comments and the last two comments given, from this you can get the idea about post and others reaction about the post. In this way you can comment easily.
Thank a lot for this Info. My blog is Dofollow too with PR3 but I don’t know why my blog is Silence.
I have searched a lot for do follow blogs but i am still unable to find out only do follow blogs, if i found do follow blog than the back links they are providing no follow, this point makes me worried always.
I often get 4 comments in a row from the same reader of my blog. I have set my dofollow to kick in after 3 posts. Sometimes all 5 comments add value so I let them through. But I still know the intention was to get some links.
Spamming is the bete noire of the DoFollow. Once that gets resolved, DoFollow will be the norm.
It is the linklove that drives the spamming on the net. As long as search engines place emphasis on links to rank sites, spamming will exist.
I consider spamming to be an occupational hazard of working on the net.
great post thanks for sharing, i think i should reconsider putting in keywordluv and commentluv on my blog.
We need to adapt to spamming, if we wish to continue working on the net. We cannot possibly eliminate spam altogether.
Making our blog to become dofollow is good for both parties, the blog owner as well as the visitor. However the visitor need to understand that they cannot leave their spamming comment, it has to be follow with the quality comment. That will create the link love between one each others.
Thank you for your post. I am fairly new to the dofollow revolution. After reading many articles like yours, I requested that my blog be dofollow. My systems engineer removed the no study tag about a week past and added something titled comment luv. So far, I also intend a lot of comments that are not satisfactory. This article will definitely helpful and knowledgeable for all people.
i don’t understand that if the rules are simply cleared then why still spamming is still present.
After reading many articles like yours, I requested that my blog be dofollow. My systems engineer removed the no study tag about a week past and added something titled comment luv.
All of my blogs are doFollow, I also use plugins such as CommentLuv and KeywordLuv ’cause I think it should boost comments amount on my blogs. I absolutely see no reason to take care about spammers, it isn’t hard to remove or not approve their comments. And I think that some commentators who left their comments here, like “Penis Enlargement” plays unfair. Because they want just to “earn” links for their websites, but do not allow to leave comments on their personal blogs.
Pore through the vast list of do follow comments on the blog. Here is a great list of some of these rules for commenting.
I think the plug-in will still be around a while… as long as blogs are still widely in use. It’s worth installing
and using in my opinion.
I take a pretty simple view of judging whether the intended comment flows like a separate and thought-provoking addition to a growing body of debate and knowledge. Simple agreement or disagreemnt is inadequate, as is veering off at a tangent. If I was in verbal conversation, would I be happy to continue talking to this person?
Another point these bloggers don’t realise is that every new comment will ping the search engines and bring the spiders back. Lastly, the benefit of having new content added to the bloggers blog via comments will probably out way the link juice lost.
Thanks for your tips and tricks on Blog commenting. I hope this will help us in getting our comments retained after moderation!! Thanks Buddy!!
You said right if our comment would be legitimate and valuable then it would not be consider as a spam. The quality does matter in link building.
Wouldn’t you think that – and this is addressed to the “no-blog-spammers” – that the easiet solution would be just to deactivate comment links. Otherwise, yeah, you’re just leaving yourself open to becoming a spam magnet. Or a 24/7 comment moderator …
The I agree with the rules you made.There are a lot of comment spammers out there that just use software that mass submit comments to dofollow blogs.Comment spamming lowers the experience for people that visits the website and it is very irritating to read their crap that is not related to the post in any way.
First of all thank you very much for providing a dofollow link.
Its not just down to spam why websites prevent comments from being posted. Part of the reason is to make it difficult for other websites, after all they do not want a competitor gaining an upper hand! They absolutely have the right to do that if they so wish.
Comment spam is a huge pain in the neck. The difference between a real comment and comment spam is usually very, very obvious.
More people should talk about the do follow question, because many people choose to make their blogs no follow to get rid of spammers. But it’s also hurting genuine commenter. If people where more informed maybe they would start posting with more sense. Thanks for this post.
Most problem in people who writes comments, becasue they only want one more link. And they don’t care about blog, post text, etc. They have no time to read blog and write related comment. I think need to approve every comment and don’t let post useless messages.
I have set my dofollow to kick in after 3 posts. Sometimes all 5 comments add value so I let them through.
As a newbie to Internet Marketing, I want to vouch for new kids on the block who have good ethics, and thank you for writing about those who don’t. In my research into this whole venture I have found many a way to cheat the system, including spamming blogs with automated software. However, I want to sleep at night knowing I am making an honest living. I only comment on blogs that I read and feel like I can contribute to. It may take me longer to build my site but that’s ok. Doing otherwise would not be staying true to myself. I have a dofollow blog and intend to keep it just as you do, deleting obvious spam posts.
thanks for sharing the ideas, i am new to blog commenting, i have learnt many things from your post thank you for making my mind clear…….!
[...] Word press plugging to display all your recent stumbles in the sidebar as a widget. [...]
My opinion is that as long as you post the subject is not considered spam even if you put a link to your website. Now it thinks that each is better for his blog. If you accept or not those links that link dofolow
Blog commenting is a very natural way of building quality back links for sites, and rules to be followed are explained very clearly in this post.
This is all good stuff for someone who is just a beginner in the blog world. We will be building our blog to be able to be a DoFollow blog, and will also use your ideas and rules. I had a blog once before and it was quickly covered up in spam.
I always read the posts and make appropriate comments on others’ blogs. It irritates me to no end to see all the comments that are completely unrelated, obvious that no one has read the blog. I am considering opening my blog to dofollow just to help people out but I don’t want to have to mess with all the junk that gets added.
DoFollow Blog Comment Rules…
The Dofollow blog comment rules are interesting and this type of rules are most required for a site to overcome spammers.
Woot! Thanks for the dofollow blog and comments. I can get some juice from this baby. The work you need to do is pretty time consuming considering the spam you are going to get but in the end, I think you will get a lot of love and traffic to your site since you made it dofollow.
Well and informative article. Thanks for sharing. I had an experience,
Even I’m also maintaining a blog which I regularly post content or article such that comments will also be posted daily by viewers, on a particular day, i check out a comment, it was – Nice article ……………..
Each dot one site link is placed like that more dots is used so i immediately deleted that comments.
This makes us to feel bad about it, even though it is dofollow or nofollow don’t spoil the blog.
Great article!
The dofollow rules are good.
I hope people actually follow them though.
Most comments left on my blogs are my automated robots that tend to be kind of rude and rubbish.
Keep them coming. Thanks for t he post.
I hope people actually follow them though.
This was a very nice article to go through

This is an area that you need to be careful in. Situations like this generally cause people to use comment bots. Those bots (aka: programs) are automatic in what they do and say, listing only phrases that are obviously fake, to anyone that looks at them. Some are better than others, but as someone that maintains a company blog, I mark anything not specifically written for the content on the page as spam. Do yourself a favor and write your own comments. It’ll save you time, you’ll learn things and your comments are more likely to be posted.
i have just made my site dofollow as well on a 6month basis to see what (if anything) will happen.. Quite excited.. Thanks for the blog post
Thanks for the dofollow blog. I was thinking of making my blogs do follow also to drive traffic but it may be a big headache trying to filter posts.
Well gl and thx for the juiice.
Thanks for sharing such a useful and helpful tips.These are really helpful to those peoples who wants a backlinks for their website.
I always commenting on DoFolllow blogs because of valuable backlinks.
Keep Posting!!
I had the same problem. I had a site on which I approved comments, but the mass of people began to exploit it. I think we should be cautious with that!
I never knew commenting is covered with these kinds of rules.I am happy to say that i learned many.We realized that in some blogs , there is no “nofollow” added. Instead, the go with some of rules you mentioned before.They appreciate good meaningful comments.kick out spams and link droppers.
I think ,there
is no limit to the number of comments you can write in a Blog. All the
comments have to be real,unless they are deleted.
Your dofollow rules are completely fair. I think everyone hate to see some robot spammer on their own websites.
I get tons of comments like : ”%title%, is one of the most interesting articles i have read on %day% about %keyword%.”
Thanks for back link
Hey i agree on this that now a days Search Engine Optimization and Internet marketing is luring people for targeting high traffic to there websites..these are all the strategies to take your blog or web page on the top of the search engine..
I leaned lot of tips after reading this post. I was very nervous when I saw that my comment is not approved. I was worked double to get get approved comments.
Many times I was break the 2nd rule of commenting that is if I was disagree then I was told to blog owners that I am not agree with it. But now I will remember all the rules which should keep in mind before commenting.
Thanks for sharing the nice tips for commenting.
I had my blog set to DoFollow for months and found I was getting useless and spammy comments.
I put up with it for a few months but finally decided to go back to nofollow.
Maybe I should have written a great post like yours explaining some rules.
Thanks
I am not sure if asking a question is appropriate, but here goes: it is nurse week here and we are looking for legitimate do follow health practitioner blogs, and many of the ones we find require registration. Do you have any thoughts on the potential increased value of such sites, or is it not worth it?
Spam is the bane of my existence, and as so many other commenters have previously said, it doesn’t need to be automated to be spam. Posting comment on blogs is a well recognised and easy way to build links, especially if you’re not offering any value by saying what you do.
On topic comments add value, and serves to build community and friendships, whilst spam just ruins a nice space to interface for everybody.
I a big fan of do-follow myself – but it requires nearly constant moderation, and I tend to let in junk comments that I know I should delete.
In fact, the comment problem is forcing me to change from a Drupal CMS to a Wordpress, which I believe will make things a little easier… I had hoped to have more of a community type site (thus the choice of Drupal), but rare has been the visitor who’s put up good quality posts in their allowed blogs, so I’ll switch to Wordpress, and continue to moderate…
Perhaps a rule such as “No comment less than 5 sentences” or some such? The better comments are usually the longer ones anyway.
Thoughts?
I like do-follow links, however on my site I get automated spam that has no relevance to the product. My site gives an honest review of the product I sell and would encourage other people to leave their feedback to it but it gets time consuming when you have to filter through the jun
i read this blog this is very informative and i really want to visit this blog again.
Yes comment spam sucks. I thought for awhile that do follow blogs were just a legend because I have been looking for awhile. Then I found this blog so my hopes are back up. I also want to let people know that as a SEO do follow blogs are very important and that no matter what you do you do not take advantage of do follow blogs with spam because like it is stated up above people get sick of removing all of the comment spam and then put the no follow back on and if that keeps up do follow blogs will only be a legend in time and something from the past.
Very Good Blog Post Mike A+
Thank You,
Luke
It is interesting, thanks!…
Just kidding!
Yeah, it’s too bad link building has probably devolved to this. 10 years ago, all you needed to get high results in Google were a couple of submissions to DMOZ and some other nameless webdirectories. Nowadays, you need to pull out all the stops to get some proper links.
Those spam commenters truly give SEO people a bad name. I’m wondering what this will be like in 5 years from now. What’s your opinion?

I read full post & comments. I am agree with that: Do follow blog comment will help us to improve organic result. But, I have some mind bubbles with no follow blog comment. I visited too many blogs which have high Google page rank but, offers no follow blog comment. So, during this time: Can we go forward with our domain name, email Id & URL to get it done. I have concern with some category related blog. For example, I am working on office furniture related website & If I will go forward with office furniture related blogs & put my valuable comments over there so, might be potential readers will read post as well as my comment & try to gain CTR on my comment. This is just my mind bubble. If I am wrong so, eager to hear some alternatives from you expert guys.
Lol Comment spam in dofollow blogs go hand in hand. I applaud you for making your blog dofollow but it is definitely going to require a lot of effort due to a lot of spammers.
After reading this post I completely understand that why my most comments were rejected on different blogs. I think it is better to comment relevant to the post.
KeywordLuv has helped grow my blog. Readers should give it a try. It helps build traffic and give a little love back to your readers.

This is a great article, i appreciate so much. I will definitely do this tips in order to avoid spam comments.
Respect for all DoFollow Blogs Owner, good job guys, thank you for all
In my opinion it is very important to know the comment rules before making any comment which give more importance to your comment and will not consider as spam. This will also make blogs more interesting.
So, on screen, these rules are really beautiful, but blog owners are comply?
In practice is change something. Of these the worst mistake that I find, the contradictory comments are not approved. Do not forget that progress is born from contradictions.
I am just starting to focus on SEO work for my own website. A thought I had was to transfer assistance and ideas to give people inspiration for business cards and plastic cards. This site is a great help for me.
Well, it is very difficult to find blogs to follow, but you have to give such information as how nice to find blogs to follow

I would like to propose not to hold off until you earn enough amount of cash to order different goods! You can just get the burmeh yaza lida fx15 biber hap? ile formda girin or college loan and feel yourself fine
Before I do, I want to stress how important it is to post quality comments, related to the post you are commenting on.
Thanks for sharing. i really appreciate it that you shared with us such a informative post..
An interesting take on dofollow (although I hate that term as it all links SHOULD be *follow in my opinion, but thats a different arguement for a different day!) but my main concern is the time it takes to consider each comment in full and decide if I should allow it or not.
My corporate blog gets 1000’s of comments each day, which I simply can’t review myself and don’t want to incure the staffing cost to have someone else do it.
Personally I think that the whole nofollow issue is wrong and should never have been introduced – I don’t think anyone should be changing how they work (site owners) to help Google. At the end of the day they are a major reason why link spam evolved, and they expect webmasters to change their practices to help them reduce it
I had not understood the purpose of this article, but after a study it more deeply, I know now.
There are so many spam comments that doesn’t look like spammy. You have to be very careful on checking on spam comments and make sure you double checked on them.
