Comments on: A Quick Dip into the Spam Comments that this blog gets

I constantly have the debate approving questionable comments. You don’t want to be a scrooge and just pencil whip every comment that is not perfect. aKismet gets the worst offenders so I am finding I am more lenient on the questionable comments just because the writer has done a good enough job getting through the first level of spam filters.

@ James, no problem at all, and I really don’t mind if you drop a link to a site you want to help as long as the comment is interesting. Even though it’s a nofollow, I think commenters should get a little tickle.

@Richard, dude, I am humbled and slightly embarrassed by your comments, but not that much that I would not tweet about it. ;) Even if it was just to get a comment in.

Was only meant to be a joke Lyndon, not commenting to try and build a link.

Look forward to the podcast still.

@James, it’s quite possible. However, it’s a comment that could be placed on any blog and also it may have pointed to a thin, affiliate site such as yours and so is less about the conversational aspect of which is the point of a blog comment.

What is and what is spam is not objective, it is highly subjective and depends on the attitude of the viewer.

Actually, I am going to be doing a podcast and even a video cast in the future. As they give more credibility and authenticity.

Hmm that radio one may not be spam.

If you did ‘put some radio in it’ then this site would actually be a lot better ;)
