At the end of the day, you have to decide where you want your blog to be, since no two blogs will ever or should be, the same. Blog commenting is still a relevant SEO strategy available for all that doesn’t cost a dime; let’s keep it that way as long as we can.

Owning a blog I guess comes with a down side.It’s the nature of the beast. We are forever getting spam through our comments section, alot with just a double name like ‘david david’,very annoying in one way but ammusing that they put so little effort in. I guess it’s just a numbers game.

Spamming is not good for the Blog, for the visitors and not for search engines.

Placing comments that continue the story or post or engage the visitors and I agree with Nellie… the commenter must add substance to the comments or post…

I see both sides of this as one one hand I run multiple blogs and have to deal with constant spam comments, but on the other hand want to benefit from my involvement in other blogs by leaving comments such as this.

I don’t mind people adding a link to their site – as long as that site looks ok to me – and including keywords.

The main thing is whether they have actually added something to the conversation or just butted in without reading either the post or other comments.

@ Roadster – yes I agree. My one blog gets spammed daily but I am also getting some worthy readers and subscribers now as I have forced “must subscribe to comment” – it helps to a degree.

my other sites I dont really mind who comments on them and if I find something I dont like I delete it. For WordPress blogs I recommend using Akismet….
