Keywords in commentors names

May 92008

published by Gary in Blogging | General with No comments

Some people purely looking for link juice leave comments with key words and phrases in their names. One common theme of people using this tactic is the poor quality of comment that more often than not adds little or nothing to the thread.

I want people to be able to enjoy and increase their knowledge by reading the content on Phoenixrealm and not having to wade their way through pointless comments.

For this reason, comments with keywords in the authors name will be deleted.

published by Hannah in General | SEO with 6 comments

I really liked the comments in the previous post on SEO Standards because they got me to thinking more about the issue. I see that mostly people DO NOT want standards because…

having standards wouldn’t stop black hats anyway
of problems with enforcement
resistance to being policed

While it is true that it won’t fully stop black hats I […]

published by Hannah in General with 4 comments

Been cleaning up my email tonight and I noticed an influx of comments. One that particularly got my attention was Matan Media’s comment in response to my pose regarding web hosting.
