I talk too much to want to buy any comments from anyone. I think it’s a horrible idea, and I think it’s just another linkbaiting tactic.

If someone wants to outsource to spread their link then more power to them. In the end it feel it is the people who comment and follows up their comments that a blog publisher builds a relationship with and then links to in future post. That is the real benefit of comments, the relationship building.

If someone pays to have someone project their thoughts through comments, then let them. They are playing to the machine and forgetting about the all important human element.

I sometimes use anchor text and just sign the comment off with my name… do followers know the score… thats why they follow….

As for akismet, I see more getting throught that filter now, I reckon spammers are dynamically changing ip’s and messages… still easy to spot… just avoid generic comments like “great post”….

Of course you do, that is the whole point of the dofollow movement. rel=”nofollow” is useless and just screws over the people that participate in your blog. Nofollow has done nothing as in ZERO to stop spamming. Anyone using it intentionally is only helping Google dictate to the market and tell others how to run their business lives.

I’d be happy to get a comment, even if it was spam right at this moment! Ha Ha!!!!

Truthfully though, I like anyone am trying to learn and find out how to make money from my blog and won’t disagree with getting paid or paying for cretain services but the voice of people should not be tainted with spam and commenting should be the true reflection of peoples feelings. After all people commenting and giving a damn about each others blogs started this whole business thing in the first place.

I’ve developed a fast-scanning technique, where I can dart through the comments really really fast while I move my scroll wheel non-stop!

Ha! That is a great idea, and it would make for an awesome post! You could include the emails and everything. Just don’t associate it with a blog you care about… Since I don’t get zillions of comments, it is not a big concern of mine at the moment, and I don’t have DoFollow enabled primarily because I don’t know how. Some people don’t recommend it, either, although I don’t exactly grasp why not.
